One of the most anticipated albums in pop history – the follow-up to Adele’s record-breaking 21 – almost certainly won’t be released before the Autumn and may take even longer, sources have told MBW.
Adele is understood to be in Los Angeles this week working on new songs.
Many had expected her third album to arrive in early 2015, which would follow the pattern of her previous two releases: 19 (January 28, 2008) and 21 (19 January, 2011). And, at some point, it was certainly pencilled in for that release window.
But sources have told MBW that all parties working in Team Adele – including management company September, UK label XL/Beggars and US label Columbia – are supportive of her taking her time; to the point that (hold your breath, worldwide industry sales monitors) her third album isn’t even currently guaranteed to arrive this year.
A source close to Team Adele told MBW: “The album will be released when it’s ready – [we] hope that will be at some stage in 2015. That’s all I can tell you right now.”
Another US source told us that “logically, there is now almost no chance” of the LP being ready for release before the second half of 2015.
I'm tired of this bull ****, Adele the music better be good or else I will probably hate your ass for making myself and other fans wait this long. Also you better not half ass this next era too, I want a video for each fcking worldwide single Adele why did you lie with us from that tweet THIS BITCH
