The Q4 blitz will involve a massive physical presence for the album—which could turn out to be the last smash to be closely associated with the compact disc—and will probably include a wall-to-wall Target campaign.
Adele’s camp continues to be hush-hush about which of the 23 tracks that had been considered for inclusion have made the final cut. Among those producers and co-writers on the project are Max Martin, Greg Kurstin, Paul Epworth, Dan Wilson, Ryan Tedder, Jeff Bhasker and Tobias Jesso Jr. Adele is said to be 100% in charge of and invested in all creative decision-making.

In February 2015, it was confirmed that Emile Haynie had a meeting with Adele regarding her new album. Haynie later confirmed that despite meeting, Adele had yet to contact him in regards to the album, and that he didn't want to "push for it" because she is "taking her time" to record it. Later that month, drummer, producer, and sound engineer Matt Chamberlain posted the first picture of Adele recording the new album and confirmed that he had worked with on her album.

It has also been suggested that Phil Collins is involved in the project. Collins confirmed in January of 2014 that he had begun work with Adele. However, he later stated that, "[Adele] got a hold of me and asked if I would write with her. She gave me a piece of music to finish and at first I didn't know if I'd failed the audition as I didn't hear back from her. She said, 'No, no, I'm moving house and the baby's taking up a lot of my time, I'm not actually doing anything at the moment.' And now I've heard there's a [new album] coming out. I'm not on it, I know that." Despite this statement, it was reported in February of 2015 that while in Los Angeles, Adele recruited Collins to finish the material they planned to work on together and would be collaborating after all

It has also been suggested that James Ford and Kid Harpoon will be two of the album's producers and give Adele a more modern and "edgy" sound. In January of 2014, it was reported that Greg Wells, Francis White, and Naughty Boy would all be working on the album. [64] There has also been speculation that Adele has worked with Rick Rubin again on the album, however, Rolling Stone revealed in 2015 that Rubin and Adele parted ways after their work on 21. After an image of Adele and Lady Gaga surfaced online, there were reports that they had worked on new material together as well. In June of 2015, Pharrell Williams revealed to Ryan Seacrest that he and Adele had worked together. In August of 2015, Billboard confirmed that Danger Mouse worked with Adele on the album, but that it remained to be seen if their work would make the album's final cut. They later reported that Max Martin and Tobias Jesso Jr. also penned tracks for the album, and that Martin's track was potentially the lead single.

Jesse Shatkin, who produced "Alive," revealed in an interview with Billboard that he had also worked with Adele for the album, but that their collaborations would most likely not make the final cut.
Damon Albarn also confirmed that he and Adele collaborated on five tracks, but all five were cut from the album; he further confirmed Danger Mouse's involvement in the album, which he controversially described as "very middle of the road."
