Adele's label has hinted that we may have a new Adele album within the next 3 months in the process of boycotting the new Apple Music streaming service:

The three-month Apple Music trial period that Apple Inc. hopes will attract consumers to its $9.99 monthly streaming service is getting slack from a label representing a group of well-known artists, including Adele.
Beggars Group, an independent record label that also counts popular artists Alabama Shakes, Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, The Strokes, Vampire Weekend and The White Stripes among its clients, said Apple AAPL, +0.06% has so far refused to agree to pay royalties to artists during the trial. The group said small labels can’t afford to agree to such terms when a number of artists are set to release new albums during the first three months of the launch, slated for June 30.

Beggars Group is a record company that owns Adele's primary record label, XL Recordings. If they're concerned about sales being affected by artists' album sales being affected by agreeing to the service, it is possible that Adele is one of the artist being that most of their artists aren't that big, and changing their album release dates wouldn't affect their sales.
She's coming!
