Well, she didn’t pull a Beyonce.

Speculation that Adele would follow the lead of other high-profile artists and drop a new album with zero notice was quashed Thursday morning with the news that her long-awaited “25” album will arrive Nov. 20.

Adele teased fans over the weekend when a snippet of a new song played as a commercial during an airing of “The X Factor” in England.

But she’ll stick to a traditional route and release the single “Hello” on Oct. 23. An accompanying video, shot in the Montreal countryside, will also debut Friday.

In announcing the new release, Adele said, “My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one, I would call it a make-up record. I’m making up with myself, making up for lost time, making up for everything I ever did and never did.”

One-time Atlantan and near-UGA album Danger Mouse has been long-rumored as one of the producers of Adele’s new material.

Here is the tracklist for “25”:
