Adele has thanked fans for the ‘ride’ following the release of her new album 30.

The 33-year-old music superstar’s fourth studio effort launched on Friday to widespread critical acclaim.

Celebrating her initial success, Adele shared a photo on Twitter showing her in the recording studio with her hands thrown up in the air.

The image, which showed the singer sat next to a glass of white wine, was captioned: ‘It was a ride, so I threw my arms up and screamed! Love you all.’

Adele wore a black turtleneck and gold hoop earrings, with her nails painted black and her strawberry blonde hair tied back in a ponytail.

The post attracted more than 750,000 likes in half and hour, with fans describing her in the comments section as a ‘queen’ and ‘inspiration’.

Tracks including My Little Love, Oh My God, I Drink Wine and Hold On have been praised by fans and critics for their vulnerability and old-fashioned sound recalling the golden age of Hollywood.

Metro.co.uk gave it four and a half stars, declaring: ‘There had been an Adele-shaped deficit in music over the past six years but 30 has magnificently filled the void.’
