^ Yeah, what was up with that? She had at least seven songs already done for that album. They must have canned its release and started fresh, although she could've used some of the original material intended for the third album. I thought it was odd that she was taking so long when at least half the album was done and ready to be put out by May 2012. But it's Adele, and it's only fitting that she makes us as thirsty as possible so the wait is worth it.
