The only thing that really bothers me at the moment is the lack of communication. Her not telling her fan base what's going on. I mean in 2012 I think she said after the Grammy's she was taking 3 or 5 years off. And then she walked it back and said she was joking. And then she basically does take 3 years off. And then she says she's not touring. And a month later she announces a tour. And then she tells us about the plans for WWWY video. And then it never comes and she sings a track song at the Grammy's without any explanation. She says she's taking 10 years off. Then she kind of walks it back. It's like we get snippets and never the full truth. It feels like she sees fame and us as a hassle/annoying obligation. Like "ugh this touring and music videos and putting out music is so tiring". Her shtick is about being "honest" and "real", but sometimes it feels like she does the opposite and withholds stuff. When did she last do an interview that wasn't aimed at selling albums? It seems like that's all she cares about really. In the last year unless you went to a show which is probably 1% of her fanbase, we've got 1 music video and a couple of tv performances. And this is with her constantly hinting at a break and making us feel like we're so lucky to have her.
I will never understand this base's hate for "All I Ask." It's flawless.
Anyways... I'd be perfectly content with Adele doing an album just with Paul Epworth, because they have yet to make a bad song together. That being said, I also want to see her work with Tobias again on the next record, and I need her to work with Dan Wilson again as well.

I'm curious to see what else Tobias and Adele can make together, but currently I think he's lowkey overrated here

That was a media creation. The only time she's ever said anything about 10 years was in a joke to make fun of/deny the other media creation preceding it that she was taking 5 years off. She said it before performing RHI back at a UK show.
I don't agree with the interview comment either, why would she do interviews if she wasn't promoting anything tbh, even the most in-your-face don't, but I see where you're coming from with a lot of the rest. I do think she means well with it a lot, like she'll be trying to surprise us in a positive way by bluffing and ending up losing the credibility in what she says when she's not, or changing her mind/saying things before they're solid and then seeming like she was totally lying in the first place. But yeah the new back-and-forth behavior of thanking us for welcoming her back then the almost-guilting us for everything and threatening another break has been my least favorite part of this era from the very first interview.
