The glimpse of the track resembles the emotive piano ballards the south London singer is known for, however cuts off before any vocals are heard.

It comes after Adele sparked speculation that new music was on the way by updating her social media accounts and website on Monday.

Her Twitter and Instagram pages showed a blue and turquoise pattern with her biography containing a link to her website, which urged fans to sign up for more information.

After fans spotted the change, the hashtag #Adele30 began trending.

It comes after the number 30 appeared on billboards and was projected onto famous landmarks around the world – including in Dubai, Ireland, France, Italy and the US.

The singer hinted her fourth album would be titled 30 in a 2019 post on Instagram, jokingly telling fans: “30 will be a drum and bass record to spite you all.”
