After wracking up gargantuan success with her sophomore effort ’21’, chart force Adele has revealed that fans awaiting its follow-up are in for quite the wait.
Full story after the jump…
Named Billboard‘s Artist of the Year (a fitting title given the 12 million sales of ’21’), the 23 year old Londoner spoke to the publication about her plans for the future. Peep her soundbites:
“I’m really looking forward to some time to do nothing. I imagine I’ll be 25 or 26 by the time my next record comes out, as I haven’t even thought about my third record yet.
I’m just gonna lay some concrete, set up home and just ‘be’ for a bit. I’ll disappear and come back with a record when it’s good enough. There will be no new music until it’s good enough and until I’m ready.”
When asked if any work had started on the follow-up to 21, she simply responded: “Nope!”
Spoken like a true ‘artist’.
Digressing a bit, it’s times like these which highlight the quality from the fodder. Indeed, Adele needn’t release an album every year, nor don an ever-changing array of wigs to stay relevant. No. Her music stems from experience, which takes time, resulting in a product that is both seasoned and rich. No fast food hits.
That said, given the seemingly unstoppable success of ’21’, there’ll be an incredible amount of pressure to top it with her next release – be it tomorrow or in 2020. Time will tell if she can deliver.
Your thoughts?

#true artist
A little sad but its good. Her album is still selling like it was released a week ago so why take away from its success by having your work compete against itself.
Rihanna should do the same as her… Take a 2 year break, then come back smashing!
I knew this was going to happen…all that s*** at one time can be very overwhelming, i hope she gets the rest she needs and takes care of her self and maybe she will do some featured work and sound track material. I doubt that she will do a world tour though, but then again you never know. Good luck with the break, don’t loose your passion for music or get involved with people who will try to take advantage of you!
We all know tha real reason why Adele ie taking a break cus kreayshawn debut album coming out next year! So adele dont want to drop a album tha same year kreayshawn album come out cus adel know kreayshawn can outsell her any giving day so her fat ass ran under a rock for a few years
Adele Is Right She Has Snatched Enough Wigs And Has Slayed Countless CAREERS !
(Sidenote) Do I See Some Nicki, Katy And Rihanna SHADE?! Hmm…..
exactly,that’s how it’s done Adele,taking notes from queen Bey i see 😉 But in all seriousness that’s a good look mama,atleast u’ll have people miss u unlike some artists that drop flop albums back to back year after year! 😀
@army of queen – b**** what wig have this b**** snatch? Tha olny Thing she snatch was some cheese burgers with her fat ass b**** please.
Kreayshawn on a whole another level tell Adele to catch up or kreay won’t give her nomore cheese burgers hahaha.
We mobbing let us mob
Lol @ Adele even knowing that Kreayshawn exists.
In any case I’m not the biggest fan of Adele. I like her a lot and she has an incredible voice. I always kinda thought she was like Amy winehouse for soccer moms though. Soulful, but a bit safe. I have mad respect for her and her process though. You can’t write new material for the purpose of releasing a new album. The quality will suffer. You have to write it only if you’re inspired. She reminds me of another white female with some serious soul, ms. Fiona Apple. Speaking of, LA Reid needs to release her new album, stat.
Buhahahahahaha to the fool who said Kreyshawn can outsell Adele anyway and that’s why Adele is going on a break, I want you to have SEVERAL seats _/ <—–for you. Kreyshawn album wouldn't outsell Adele if she had Beyonce's, Jay Z, And Kanye featured. kill yourself if you EVEN THINK they compare. Adele sold 12 million albums do far and she's STILL selling 200K albums a week, like 21 was just released. To the Rihanna foool, YES Rihanna put out an album every year but your sadly mistaken if you THINK any of Rihanna albums were at any point #1 because she wasn't. Rihanna has never had a #1 album so she too needs to take a break, have a _/ and get some real music instead of these pot licker songs an radio hand she keeps putting out, because CLEARLY its not giving her the success YOU think she deserves, I on Te other hand don't care for her or her radio music. As for Adele taking a 2 year break, it's normal, Adele released 19 when she was 19 te album that got her not 1 but 4 Grammy's and it took her 2 years to release 21 so this is just the same. A GREAT artist doesn't need to put out an album every 9 mths to stay revelant. Real Artist can release an album in Feb and STILL her album sells like it came out last week. Adele *cough* is a real artist. Stop throwing Shade at her cause she cares nothing about the pot lickers you love, she just does her. Let her be
Definitely the right move, her music and voice is amazing, but that she is working long and hard this will make it even better.
She knows what she is doing and a break to recover her voice will also help.
Well done Adele, definitely the right move and no one can then say she has become commercial.
cant waiit slaydele !!
@Dustin & @musiclover hahaha look @ them two n***** hating on kreayshawn cus she a WHITE female rapper hahaha ya know kreayshawn coming for her crown in 2012 when that debut album drop! I’m lol ya two n*****
anyway v nasty got a album coming out with gucci mane called “BAYTL” on dec. 13 2011 that s*** gonna sell more than Adele fat ass when it come out.
Like come on it’s v nasty mane with gucci mane there gonna sell like crazy man it’s that white girl mob in this b****.
N***** is already hating on v nasty in her Twitter mentions cus they know v nasty is gonna sell records and they mad!
Well it was 3 years between 19 and 21 so it really isn’t surprising. But I LOVE Adele! She is amazing. She is like the only person that every person likes. Rihanna, Beyonce, and Ciara stans fight all the time but everyone, no matter who you stan for, loves Adele. I can’t wait for new music.

After 19 , now 21 , next it’s going to be 23 . Adele , take some time and give us another great album next two years , maybe . Your 21 will be fresh forever and ever .
Unlike Lady Gaga , Rihanna , Katy Perry , or even my favourite singer , Beyonce , their music didn’t last long cause right after they launch a new album such as Born This Way , 4 , Teenage Dream , Talk That Talk . But Adele , your 21 will be fresher and fresher beyond eternity .

I like Adele, but I just do not see her doing this well again (I COULD B WRONG!) BUT IDK, we shall see., her time is gonna slip by & people are gonna be like oooo its the same ole same….
This is why Adele will forever be my fav. 🙂 3 years will seem like forever, but I’m sure her next album will be worth the wait.
Rather have her take 2-3 years to compose an amazing album than make an album every year full of Dollar Menu fast food tracks
Plus it will build major anticipation for the next album
This is the right move for an artist like her
2 or 3 years for making great music and also probably is going to be good for her voice
One thing is for sure. Now the public knowing she is not coming back soon, “21” is gonna sell all that an album can sell nowadays, at least Xmas and then grammys sales are here for her. And also I think that these news are going to have an impact on grammy voters (if they have not voted already, I don´t know when they do it)
I wonder if she will be remembered though, 3 years is a long time. She did come on the scene killing h*** though, so maybe. I like that her and Beyonce are taking a break, we don’t need overload. Her voice needs a break anyways, good job Adele. 21 will probably keep selling for the next three years haha
She should take FLOPonce with her!!! The H** is washed up 😀
When will Rihanna release another album ?? That’s more important 🙂
She has the room to do it.She has sold 12 million copies of her latest cd and she is still breaking and setting records.You can’t rush greatness.Her next album will be even more PHENOMENAL!!!I will be buying it when it comes out.Someone releasing an album full of hits,has been very rare lately.Adele has been able to do that.I love her!Keep up the good work.

DEAD !!! :D, B**** cannot outsold Jason Derulo LMAO!!!
Hopefully her successful wont end like other soulful British artists (Duffy, Joss Stone, Leona Lewis). They all had multi-platinum albums, but their next albums flopped.
White girl mob…girl boo! Please take 20 million seats! Adele probobly smoking her cigarettes laughing at yo senseless a*s! Don’t nobody give a fck about kreashawn as*! If anybody should be worried it would be someone in RAP! Adele sings! Now you are dismissed back to your one big room full of sh*t 😉
Shut up with yo gloomy ass. She’s too freaking young to be so depressed. She should see a doctor.
Her health is most important and I think its a really good idea. The world will be waiting patiently. 🙂 Get well Adele!
She knows that 21 was just good luck, she’s not the kind of artists people always want to see, is good the first time you heard her and everything but you get tired of her, because you want an artist who sing ballads and dance music, even is the voice is not as good as Adele’s voice, you want the whole package, God even Whitney has some Dance-Pop songs.
110% OVERRATED. JUST LIKE SUSAN BOYLE WAS… SHE’S DONE.
I hope her bandwagon is still around when she releases 23, 24, 25, 26…etc. (They won’t be, of course, because they’re all about the numbers and chart position, not the actual artist!)
That’s what’s up Adele! I think that would be a good idea. I think she already knows that if she keeps pushing it too much, it would cause people to start thinking and feeling that she’s over exposed. Plus, this will give her a good time to come up with some more artistic lyrics and music. It will also give the public a chance to miss her. That way when she comes back, they will be ready for her. With the success of, “21”, I guess Adele just wants everything to marinade for a minute. Don’t worry Adele, we will be here when you get back. :0)
@KreyFLOP Stan
Chileeeee ! Stop It ! Adele On Her Worst Day Will SLAY Your Wanna Be FLOP RAPPER ! I Cannot Take This BUFFOONERY, My Fave Aaliyah Can Out SELL Your FLOP Even In Death!
People Stanning for Kreyshawn and Cassie???? This site is declining….
YASSSS
SHE NEEDS TO BREAK!! THANK GOD
NOW LORD GODGA CAN CONTINUE TO SNATCH WIGS!!
SIPS MOSCATO!
She sure ain’t worried about being forgotten.
I love her this reason!!!! You can feel the soul in her music. There are some artists who just won’t go away, and people grow tired of you. A true artist can stand the test of time, no need to release a new album every year, or every 6 months.
im gonna die rip me!!!!
