Adele sat down with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio (Nov 18.) to discuss '25', See some excerpts below.
Quote:
On picking the lead single: “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” which is “much more poppy” was almost the first taste of 25. But Adele told Lowe, “I didn’t want it to be misleading what my first single was.” More of the album apparently follows the template set by “Hello,” so she went with that.
On sticking to the same form of music: “Sometimes I wish I had it in me to attempt to evolve record by record like legends do. But I don’t think I could pull it off. There’s only one Madonna.”
On stage fright: “I get really bad nerves. I thought they disappeared… But I did a BBC special the other day, I was fine in rehearsal, then the minute my fans were in there, I froze again. I couldn’t control my voice. I also find something very lonely about touring. You play for so many people, and you go home alone.”
On her new love songs: “The love songs on this record are about overcoming obstacles in relationships. And that’s actually the best feeling in the world. I’ve never really had that. I’m also super fascinated by going from loving someone so much to hating them. That’s what ‘All I Ask’ is.”
On sticking to the same form of music: “Sometimes I wish I had it in me to attempt to evolve record by record like legends do. But I don’t think I could pull it off. There’s only one Madonna.”

Send My Love (To Your New Lover) is my least favourite from the album.. I am glad she picked Hello.

Fair enough with her point about sticking to the same music, but you don't have to completely change to evolve. You can still change and grow while remaining true to one style.
