Adele has sought medical attention for her recent vocal issues and won’t be performing at any live events for the remainder of 2011 but she is prepared to let her music do the talking on her behalf. Indeed, the singer has officially announced the next US single from her ’21′ album that will be serviced to radio on November 21st.

‘Set Fire to the Rain’ will be the third single to be released from Adele’s quadruple platinum ’21′ LP. The record, which has already peaked at #72 on the Billboard Hot 100, will follow ‘Rolling in the Deep’ and ‘Someone Like You’ – both of which reached #1 on that tally.

To date, ’21′ has sold over 4.3 million copies in the US. Furthermore, ‘Rolling in the Deep’, which spent 7 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 as 2011′s longest-running #1 single thus far, made history when it became the first track to sell over 5 million downloads in the US within a single calendar year.

Listen to ‘Set Fire to the Rain’ below:

Although many individuals would have favoured the sassy ‘Rumour Has It’ to be the next US single, the understated drum beat and building vocal arrangement of ‘Set Fire to the Rain’ will almost guarantee that it will become a top 40 winner. The song has been given several clever television placements and with over 683K downloads sold, naming it as a single is a mere formality as it is already a hit.
