Hi, guys! I'm back. Apparently I missed out on quite a bit! A few things...
First of all, I would like to point out that whoever made the comment about the ATRL Daydreamers on the official Adele forums needs to realize that it wasn't all of us that were making jokes; I ignored it because a few years back, I was teased extensively about liking Adele. People made fat jokes about her and it was really painful because I loved her so much and people just constantly gave me sh*t about it. But that didn't stop me from loving her. So, based on personal experience, I don't approve of the fat jokes. But I don't think anyone meant anything by them.
Secondly, that's exciting that Roger Friedman further confirmed the November 20 release date!

Can't wait for more details from him. Also excited that Hits Daily Double confirmed some of the other people working on the album. I was getting a little worried that with all these names coming out and no mention of Paul Epworth, she might've decided against working with him again. Thank God she did, though; some of her best work has stemmed from their collaborations. Glad that Dan Wilson's back on board, too. And Greg Kurstin especially should be interesting, as well as Jeff Bhasker and Jesse Shatkin. I highly doubt that she's going full-on pop, though. She said herself that she didn't know what sounded fresh. She probably recruited people like this that she knew could do work on her type of music while also helping her modernize her sound.
Anyways... Good to be back! I missed you all!
