You've been working with Adele on her new album, what can we expect from that?

It's going to be like Portishead meets Weird Al Yankovic... Just kidding. I haven't heard everything she's done, but I've heard everything we've done and I'm as proud of it, or prouder of anything we did on the first album [21], and she is sounding even better than ever. She will deliver the album on her own timetable, at her own pace, and the only person that will ever declare it finished will be her, when she decides it's finished.


So you don't know when we can be expecting the album then?

Oh my god, you know, I could probably guess when Christ is going to return, more accurately than when that album will come out and that doesn't mean it's going to be a while, it just means I have no idea.


How about whether or not Adele will perform the album, considering her much publicized fear of performing live.

I can't get into the minutia of her touring or not. I personally wouldn't use the word fear, from conversations I've had with her, I don't think she has a fear of it. She's a mother, she has a young kid, and I'm on tour, I've been gone for a year, I have another maybe 10 or 11 months left before I'm home home, like for more than a few weeks, so that takes a certain frame of mind to be in and the fact remains that most artists have to tour, that's the bread and butter, that's how they make a living.

When you sell 30 million albums, on one album, she can do whatever the hell she wants to do until forever. So if she decided to tour, I'm sure it will be the most incredible tour ever and if she decides not to it will have no bearing on how amazing the album itself is because she's one in a million, one in a hundred million, one in a billion, that's a better example. She can do what she wants to do and my whole role whatsoever as pertains to her is to facilitate in whatever way possible. Any talent or ability I have is at her disposal for as much or as little as she wants it, for as long or as little as she needs it. I'm happy to be a part of the ride.

Amazing! Looking forward to it! #AdeleTheSlayer

Adele is coming to scalp all of our faves omg She's already so GP friendly. Watch her pull some MJ numbers

Uh oh

Nooo. Give our favs some rest!

Is she like all he talks about? LOL

" and that doesn't mean it's going to be a while, it just means I have no idea. "

Ops

Excuse me but he was QUESTIONED to talk about her in the interview a bit. He talks about many artists, but the only ones that get posted is about Adele

So ready for this.

I want a fall release.

he's such a stan!

Yes yes he is He talks ONLY about Adele this way, he's practically Adele's bitch!

Ugh she'd better only be working with him for a song or two. Not here for her talent being squandered by his royal basicness.

Exactly my point

Didn't he say that XO was the biggest thing Beyoncé had ever recorded or smth?

That doesn't change the fact he talks about many other artists. As I said the only things that ever get posted on what he says is about Adele on ATRL because I go look at his interviews

Adele definitely is not playing around yasss

omg he stans for her!
this was legit cute!
