It's been more than four years since Adele released an album. FOUR. YEARS.
And ALMOST A YEAR since she teased us with this.
Bye bye 25... See you again later in the year x
But 2014 came and went with no new Adele.
And now we're nearly a quarter of the way through 2015, and STILL no new Adele.
WHAT'S THE DEAL? WHERE ARE YOU ADELE?! WE NEED YOU. And here are a few reasons why. OK, 19 reasons. WHATEVER.
1. First off, 2012's Skyfall only held us over for, like, maybe a year.
And our ears just really need some new music, right?
2. We also need to experience the joy of this laugh-cackle hybrid again.
3. "Fanks" needs to make a comeback, too.
ADELE #FANKS
4. And it's just not OK that when you Google image search "Adele," Adele Dazeem GIFs come up.
5. Or that Pitbull and a song called "Trap Queen" are in the Billboard top 10 right now.
6. Plus, it's been THREE years since she graced the cover of Vogue. Time for another!
7. We've also gone a full TWO awards seasons without Adele blessing the red carpet with her presence.
This was 2013, people!
8. The only person who should beat Beyoncé for a Grammy is Adele. Sorry, Beck.
9. And, guys, we still don't know what she screamed at Chris Brown here!
10. We also still have no clue what it means to set fire to the rain.
11. Come on, we need more Adele reaction faces in our lives.
Jennifer Lawrence doesn't even pull faces like this.
12. We need more wacky Adele poses, too!
13. And when was the last time you remember hearing a dirty word come out of this mouth?
14. Or remember seeing Adele dance? Adancing, if you will.
15. We just need to experience the majesty of a live Adele performance again.
16. We haven't heard any music since Adele became happily coupled.
Or a mom!
Look at these stunning pieces my friend @LA_VERNEUK made me! That's my handwriting! So personal, so clever x
17. Even Kelly Clarkson is desperate for new Adele music.
@OfficialAdele that's awesome BUT I need new music from you :) Pretty please! U can sing about Simon, your kiddo, really anything you want!
18. Plus, there's maybe a Lady Gaga duet on the new album and we want to hear it.
19. And, let's be honest, we could all just use a really good cry.
COME BACK ADELE, WE'RE BEGGING YOU.
