People (Maybe) Involved
Emile Haynie - later said he was unsure if they were going to work together
Matt Chamberlain - worked in the Emile sessions, tweeted a pic of her recording and then quickly deleted his entire account
Ryan Tedder - tweeted a pic of a file titled "Adele NYC Remedy" on his laptop, confirmed (again) that he has worked on the album and has it on his computer, but denied knowledge of any release dates, etc.
Pharrell - discussed writing with Adele earlier this year, gist was that she's a boss writer and is doing everything right
Damon Albarn - today's asshat, apparently worked on 5 songs that were all rejected and is currently trying to sabotage hype
Sia - wrote a song titled "Alive" with Adele about Adele's life, it was apparently rejected "at the last minute". She recorded the song herself and is now releasing it as her own lead single on the 26th of this month
Danger Mouse - involvement recently reported by Billboard, and confirmed by Albarn in his insults...re: "middle of the road"
Max Martin - involvement recently reported by Billboard
Tobias Jesso Jr. - involvement (on a "standout track") recently reported by Billboard
Paul Epworth - no formal statements since last year's 'it will come when it's ready', but RT was in his studio with him in July with a "great tune"
Dianne Warren - no Adele comments since last year's 3 songs mentioned
Phil Collins - no Adele comments since last year's day as an asshat, it has been rumored they worked together again but you know how rumors go around here...
Lady Gaga - insta'd a pic with Adele at the beginning of this year. Rumors went rampant of a duet, I really can't see it on this album...
Reports/Comments by Legitimate-ish Sources
Music Business Worldwide - reported in January that the album would not be ready until the second half of 2015, if not later. Claimed her labels are cool with it.
Sony Open Mic - released an online survey asking about a new Adele album "in the next six months"
@WeAreFocusrite - tweeted in late May that Adele had been working in "The Bridge" writing studio.
Ed Sheeran - spoke to Capital FM: "I haven't heard [the record], but everyone I know who've worked on it is just like, 'Dude... that record!' Apparently it's really good!"
Hits Daily Double - in July reported than her team are watching Apple Music, etc. to ensure a correct time for release, and in August, HDD reported that 20 songs were being mixed in a "legendary Hollywood recording studio" and that a pre-Thanksgiving release is the goal
Billboard - posted an article on 8/27 about her label planning a November 2015 release, and detailed various co-writers.
Rolling Stone and
Entertainment Weekly also claimed a fall release, although the reports were more speculative.
@Popbatch (Adele's friend) - quoted a tweet about the November 2015 release story and added "READY YOURSELVES". The tweet was deleted not long after
I probably missed something in this Adissertation... but absolutely no direct quotes from Adele/lables about any of this so far this year so we struggle on
