*The Internet has lost its mind over Adele’s new song “Hello,” the first single from her upcoming third album “25,” due Nov. 20.
Never mind that her hypnotic voice and emotional lyrics have fans in tears…

Also, the fact that Adele uses a flip phone in the video has not gone unnoticed.
Why is Adele still using a flip phone? No wonder it’s taken her 4 years to call — jame/s (@edgejames) October 23, 2015

Adele has a flip-phone in “hello” because it’s filmed in sepia which means it is set in the past. So glad my media studies a-level is useful — Ryan Bassil (@ryanbassil) October 23, 2015

Adele has a flip phone so I’m getting a flip phone — Rawn (@WheresRon) October 23, 2015
But generating just as many headlines as the song itself is the presence of Tristan Wilds as her love interest.
Buzzfeed today posted an entire article devoted to the actor, titled, “Everyone Is Freaking Out Over The Guy In Adele’s New Video.”
Wilds, of “The Wire” and “90210” fame, stars in the sepia-toned video as Adele’s ex…the man for whom she has crafted her epic apology ode.
A sampling of reaction on social media:
