Adele is putting her heart and soul into her new album.
As per The Sun, the British superstar has reported enlisted R&B titans John Legend and Raphael Saadiq for her upcoming LP. "Adele is Âpouring her heart and soul into this record, Âincluding how she feels post-divorce," an insider revealed in reference to her split from her husband Simon Konecki in 2019. Additionally, the report revealed that the comeback kid has tapped Saadiq to "oversee" the highly-anticipated follow-up to 2015âs 25. "Sheâs been a fan of Raphael since she was a teenager and loves his back Âcatalogue. She wants her next album to be full of soul, with a more eclectic sound," the source added.
Back in June, the chart-topperâs manager, Jonathan Dickins, confessed that the album, which was originally due in September, had been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "It isnât coming in September. Itâll be ready when itâs ready," Dickins told Music Week. "I can't put a date on that yet. We have music, but we're still working."
Dickins isnât the only one who mentioned a pushback in release. Adele did so herself when she addressed the delay in the album's release via Instagram. âOf course itâs not. Corona ainât over. Iâm quarantining. Wear a mask and be patient," she responded.
