Adele on her next album: 'I don't even know what's cool and what's not'



Adele, it turns out, has been up to more than “getting knocked up” since racking up a trunk full of trophies for 21 last year.

When we caught up with the busy pop queen/working mom and at last night’s Grammys (where she picked up an award for Best Pop Solo Performance), she offered up a status update on how her life — and her next album — are coming along. As always, Adele was ever frank.

“I’ve been up since 6 a.m. — I’m quite tired,” the “Skyfall” singer said. She did add, however, that she’s been learning how to balance work and parenthood ever since giving birth to her first child last October. “It’s nice, I haven’t been as stressed out. You have to prioritize what you stress about when you have a child.”

As for how the follow-up to the record-shattering 21 is coming along, Adele is less sure. “I’m not very far along at all,” she said of her highly anticipated third album. “I’m having lots of meetings. That’s what I’ve been doing in LA.., and I will be till the Oscars.”

“I’ve been out of the loop,” she added, referring to the current music landscape. “I’ve been singing my baby nursery rhymes, and I sort of don’t even know what’s cool and what’s not.

Of course, when the woman who only needed 10 minutes to lay down an Oscar-nominated song for the latest James Bond flick says that she’s out of touch, we take it with a grain of salt. But if she’s seriously seeking advice on the latest trends, we have a tip for her: buy some suspenders.

ugh girl dont think about what's cool just do your thing and it will be fine. I would hate to have to follow up something like 21 though it's got to be tough.

popjustice suggested Greg Kurstin

Can you imagine Adele power singing some "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"? It would be amazing/hilarious.
schexyschteve 12th-Feb-2013 12:10 am (UTC)
That would be incredible, actually.
modernelegance 12th-Feb-2013 12:28 am (UTC)
That would probably sell better than her other albums!
starchain 12th-Feb-2013 12:32 am (UTC)
I would buy it
velvetunicorn 12th-Feb-2013 02:47 am (UTC)
i would buy it for someone with a baby tbh

That dress suggests as much, hon.

I thought she said she wanted to do something more country-like? Like Hiding My Heart. Rick Rubin's probably gonna be the dude in charge of everything no matter what direction she goes in lbr.

i really like her now bc of her speechs at this years grammies + golden globes. I really hope she wins an Oscar.
untxi 11th-Feb-2013 11:43 pm (UTC)
I used to hate her a little bit, for some reason. Well, because I was stupid, that's the reason. I still don't care for her music, but she does her own thing, says whatever she wants and seems like she doesn't give a fuck. I really like that.
ediesedgwick 11th-Feb-2013 11:58 pm (UTC)
Overexposure made me sick of her, but she seems really sweet
isntdaveone 11th-Feb-2013 11:44 pm (UTC)
i've never even heard 1 song of hers or like, i don't even know what she sounds like.

Go listen to her last album + the song from Skyfall. It's good, unless you're not into slow/vocally focused music.
judgmental 11th-Feb-2013 11:45 pm (UTC)
For starters, those nails are not, sister.
maeir 11th-Feb-2013 11:46 pm (UTC)
she doesn't need to know what's cool and what's not.

she just needs to write songs that she wants to sing and would love to listen to herself.
homicidalslayer 11th-Feb-2013 11:48 pm (UTC)
Please let her keep songs dedicated to her child limited to the bonus tracks. I like her, but that shit's so dull.......
jackal_onassis 11th-Feb-2013 11:48 pm (UTC)
i love adele, like everything about her. she doesn't try to be all hollywood and is so cute when she accepts awards

i need a third cd. i was listening to 19 (my personal fav) and 21 today on my way to work.
tusiaczek87 11th-Feb-2013 11:48 pm (UTC)
