It looks like fans will finally be able to listen to Adele's anxiously awaited third studio album, "25," this fall.
A cover line on Entertainment Weekly's latest issue, which features Lady Gaga, teases the release date of the British artist's upcoming record.
"Fall Music Preview: New Albums From Adele / Prince / Disclosure / Lana Del Rey," the publication states.

Similarly, Billboard recently reported: "A new set of music may finally materialize this fall -- the label is planning on a November release."
Fellow Brit Naughty Boy previously hinted Adele may drop the follow-up to 2011's "21" this fall (although he did not get the month right).
In an interview with The Sun, via Contactmusic.com, the producer revealed he has been working on Emeli Sandé's sophomore album and pushed back its release date until 2016 to avoid a clash with the "Rolling in the Deep" hitmaker's latest project.
"They can't go against each other," he said. "Nobody wants to."
"Adele's album is coming in September and labels have cleared their schedules because they know it's going to wipe the floor," he added. "Emeli's album is coming out next year now. It sounds amazing."
According to Daily Star, Adele's highly anticipated LP is rumored to be complete.
"The album is written, recorded and finished," a source said. "Theoretically it could be released tomorrow if she wanted."
However, "25" is expected to drop in "October or November," not in September as Naughty Boy suggested.
The publication also claimed that the forthcoming effort would be released as a surprise via iTunes.
"The plan is to release internationally on iTunes as a complete surprise without any previous promotion or build-up publicity campaign," the source continued.
"The shock tactics worked amazingly well for Beyoncé and the feeling is Adele's new album is so widely anticipated it doesn't need a long promotional build-up," the source added.
