OMG they basically confirmed it in front of our eyes.

You might be right

The Independent reports: "A spokesperson for Adele and Sony declined to comment on the speculation, which comes just a day after XL Recordings confirmed via a financial report that it would not be releasing the third Adele album this year."

Declining to comment makes it sound like it's true and negotiations are underway.

Dddd i just read this now, $128 mil

i hope she pulls an Adele and declines

Is this really something to get excited about though

?

I don't think we should

After Whitney and Mariah got these types of contracts it all went downhill

Her Glitter era is coming

This is the end
Hold your breath and count to -128million

I wonder if we are reaching a bit with that comment

Ugh I don't really feel excited about this if its true. But at the end of the day if Adele has control on her music then thats fine with me

daydreams

If there really is an issue it must've been very recent, I mean XL included her in their anniversary stuff and a gif of her in a tweet on Friday.
As long as she gets to do what she personally wants in her career and is getting good opportunities for touring and promo of her new music, I don't think I really care where she is label-wise

daydreams

And maybe I'm looking too far into this, but isn't the artist she went to see a few nights ago, FKA Twigs, on XL?

There is most likely no bad blood between them, Richard Russell has an independent label and he maybe thinks also it's the best for her to go, he said early on we won't change anything with the label upon her success.

FKA TWIGS is also Robert Pattinsons girlfriend, so they know each other.

So rbautz you're saying that since Adele is so global now that being on an independent label wouldn't be good for her?

Rumour has it, when she had 21 on the table by XL Records, R. Russell said it's a good record but maybe we should promote it for free like we did it before with Radiohead so she can get more fans.

Adele declined and went on to Columbia Rob Stringer, they stopped everything and designed with her a new marketing strategy. This was the reason the album wasn't put out in 2010.

XL is good, one of the best but certainly not for someone as big as Elvis or Michael Jackson.

And in 2011 XL was the biggest seller of all companies, so I think it's better for the industry it won't happen again.

Ichinaru19

Interesting, thank you for that

And yes its actually pretty weird for Adele to be such a big artist on an independent label. Welp I guess she kinda gifted them in the end

I didn't know this was the reason

XL is clearly a small label and doesn't have that far of a reach as a major. And not them trying to give away the album for free imagine the illegal download sales there

Ichinaru19

I don't think they meant to give the album for free, but more just no televised shows to promote it lol

If she really signs that deal with Sony, she's easily topping Forbes next year.

She might have one of the most profitable years in history with that, the new album and tour.

Mike91

Even if she does leave XL, she gave them profits to keep them running forever.

So it's not like she'd have to feel guilty about it or for there to be any bad blood.

It's weird to think that she may not be signed to XL anymore.... Hopefully if she does sign with Sony, she benefits from it.

I just realized something else..... Her cryptic Tweet earlier this year was obviously a hint towards new music, and a new single was scheduled for this month, supposedly. What if XL recently decided to push the album back, which pissed Adele off? If she signs to Sony, maybe we will get new music this year!

I highly doubt they have any control over the release of the album.

However, if this ends up being true, this is why we're not getting the album this year. I was scared it was because of her lack of faith in the new material, but hopefully that's not the case.

Then again, she was recording in the XL studios and everything.

This really had to be something that just happened in like the past month or so.

Guys some of you have a guaranteed career as detectives...

(Not me,not Ichinaru,we are the good hearted dumb ones)

The thing is that if Adele signs with Sony, we'll most likely get the new album this year. Sony won't let her miss those pre-Christmas sales.

Regardless of this possible record label situation, releasing the album in January would hardly hurt sales in the long run. I'm actually here for a January release, I was just hoping for a lead single release this year
