Adele celebrated her 31st birthday with an emotional, insightful, and empowering Instagram post, but there might be more to it than meets the eye. One short line in her lengthy caption may refer to her highly-anticipated fourth studio album.

Adele’s birthday post comes about a month after the news of her separation made headlines. Despite going through a tough time, the British star is back on her feet and she shared an empowering message of hope with her fans.

“31 is going to be a big ol’ year and I’m going to spend it all on myself. For the first time in a decade I’m ready to feel the world around me and look up for once. Be kind to yourself people we’re only human, go slow, put your phone down and laugh out loud at every opportunity,” wrote Adele on Instagram.

She wrapped up her post by writing “30 will be a drum n’ bass record to spite you” and this short line left her fans puzzled, but also super-excited.

All of her previous albums were named after her age when she wrote them, and this may be a sign that new music is coming our way very soon.
