What is a "secret" album?

I don't buy it dropping this month given the only sources are the Daily Mail and HOLA (whoever they are) - if someone reputable reports it then it might be real but we'll see (don't doubt that she'll drop at some point in the future though)

It seems like we get rumours of Adele releasing in time for Christmas every couple years and it amounting to nothing.

I don’t think there’s much likelihood in a surprise Adele album drop, they’ll be counting on those huge pre-order numbers.
