As anticipated albums go, few can rival the thirst that surrounds Adele‘s next project.
It’s approaching five years since the superstar belter released her blockbuster ’25’ LP and the world at large has been anticipating its follow-up.
Like most things Adele, details have been shroud in secrecy. And just this week, her manager denied reports that a September release was on the cards.
Now, the singer herself has weighed in.
Her words below…
Today, the 32-year-old took to Instagram and posted a caption-less throwback snap of her 2016 Glastonbury performance.
Most interpreted it as a nod to the annual festival, which was scrapped due to the ongoing health crisis.
Yet, some seemed to digest it as a hint of the imminent arrival of new material.
In a rare move, Adele jumped into the comment section to clarify with:
“Of course it’s not (a teaser)”, adding “I’m quarantining. Wear a mask and be patient.”
Like the saying goes, good things come to those who wait. And we’ve not been disappointed by an Adele album yet. So, we’re more than willing to trust her process.
That said, it’s a given that when it drops, it’ll be curtains for the competition.
Are we allowed to talk?

Lazy h-o-e… smh I hate artists releasing albums between huge gap…. should’ve released the album before c*******. lady gaga still released new album. How about wearing a mask and go out there to perform???????
Slaydele don’t care what you think. She’s had a divorce, lost weight, being a mom and working on new music.
Good stuff takes time and talent.
Something that your favourite probably doesn’t know about.
Slaydele is the biggest artist on the planet hands down.
Right…. her next album will be titled “40” how u like it????? Just like Rihanna’s R9 and Normani’s N1, both will never seen the light…..
Even if her next album is called 40, Slaydele will gave sold more across 3 albums than Rihanna’s who discography put together. She’ll outsell all the top 40 albums put together in her week of release. Good things come to those who wait…
Except your mom, she must have been so disappointed at the end of 9 months to be left with you

@ CLARKSHÂÂT
How am I racist for calling you an embarrassment to your mother? I clowned you cause you a clown Clarkson. You got caught out replying to your own posts.
Take a whole couch cause a seat wouldn’t be enough. When you’re the world’s biggest popstar and a mother then judge slaydele. Her 5 years between albums will still be more productive than 55 years of your life.
@clarkshat
Don’t tell her what to do. She is no illiterate Beyoncé. She writes and produces her own artistry instead of paying others to do it. Respect her craft
I love Adele. Anyone who is mad because she has a large gap her albums are people who didn’t grow up in the 90’s because artists did it all the time and would have amazing albums at that.
its this generation of teeny boppers who are bought up on fast food music. They expect everyone to rush release loads of music produced by the same person because one trend is hot (see DJ mustard etc).
They been fed all this trap crap where rappers mumble and songs have a 1-2 rhythm with synthesisers instead of the actual instruments being played and where artists got together to collaborate in the studio
For real, taking almost 5 years to record an album, that still sounds reasonable for u guys????? Wow! Basically she probably records around 2 songs in a year, so u guys don’t considering this is lazy???? I’m hoping Adele won’t be end up like that c-o-c-k-y diva xtina…
CLARKSHÂÂT TRYIN 2TAKE THE L QUIETLY AFTER DA MODERATOR CLOCKED & WHIPPED HIS ÀŠŠ ON THE BLACK POUND POST AND NOW HE HIDING UNDER THIS MARILYN KAREN PROFILE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“Reasonable” no it’s called creating art, because contrary to popular belief that’s what music is “ART” As much as I’m ready for the album I can wait because I know she is making something special. Keep listening to your manufactured, recycled, processed music.
Exactly true artists do that
It doesn’t matter when she releases it, it will sell like hot cakes she isn’t one of those artists that can’t afford to release every year or sometimes twice in one year. She is good. All the big players in music will release next year when they can tour 🤷🏽♀️
💯👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I wonder if C******* will cause acts who couldn’t tour and who’s albums sold moderately to be be dropped? Surely if you spent all the investment on the album roll out and then can’t generate income on touring in the album cycle you’re in trouble (or subject to new terms…)
C***** is no longer an excuse. Artist are releasing singles and albums and filming videos. Promoting and performing and even planning virtual tours. Its not that deep that you can’t still work. C***** v**** will be here until a cure or treatment is found so we can stop acting as if life can’t go on. All you have to do is take better safety precautions and stay clear of large crowds, especially if you dont feel well. Considering her album was said to be done and slated for September/October, this sounds like an excuse to continue chilling. Adele never real did extensive promotion to where she now has to find a new game plan.
I love Adele’s music and she usually comes across as very sweet and humble but she sounded a little arrogant and short in that reply. Didn’t seem the least bit appreciative that someone is checking for and looking forward to new music from her.
Adele is gonna be fine like literally there was nothing wrong with what she said hell Rihanna has said worse at to ” I Lost R9″ least she said be patient. Why rush true artistry and these comparisons to TODAYS artists’ she’ll TOP regardless. She is doing nothing wrong nor different than that of legends have done way before her – Sade, Janet, Barbara Streisand, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Madonna etc. all say Hello
She shouldn’t rush, she should take her time. But she should also appreciate fans who care enough to ask. I like Adele’s music but honestly I’m not waiting or checking for an Adele album, got other things on my mind. But whenever she releases one, IF I like what I hear I’ll buy it. Lucky for her, some people are actually waiting and checking. Least she could do is show a little appreciation along with telling them to be patient. Just the way I feel about it, had no problem with what she said, but THE WAY she said it was a little rude.
:sips truth tea:
Honestly, enough is enough. 5+ years is ridiculous of a wait for an album. For those trying to “spill facts”, 4 years in 2000s/1990s/1980s was the max gap between albums a major record label would allow. The exception being Enya taking 5 years and she plays every instrument on the damn album. Adele ain’t playing no harps and percussion. Even Motown almost dropped Stevie Wonder for wanting more than 4 years in the eighties.
So unless you’re Sade and don’t care or Whitney and can’t actually put out an album, you cannot expect the label machine and fan base to wait 5+ years for your album.
It’s a very bold move to think your music will be relevant half a decade later or people will still care. Ask everyone from Aretha to Tina to Janet to Norah Jones, who put out albums even when they weren’t ready/didn’t feel like it. Don’t believe me, look at the max gaps in their discography. Most of the standard contract made had clawback a after 4 years on cost towards recording/production, etc. I don’t blame the labels. What’s to say your 5 years old/half decade old stale music will stick? I’m not sure why Adele thinks she’s special.
She is special… think people forge t popstars have lives too. In the last 5 year’s, Adele embarked on a massive tour, has been bringing up her child, got a divorce and has been getting fit and healthy.
Everyone is entitled to a life
It really depends on the artist how long the gap would be in between their albums. Some artists take longer than others for various reasons. It’s not laziness to take a long break because that actually helps you grow as a person and as an artist, which in turn will help you develop a solid body of work. I’d rather wait for them to be fully ready than to release a half-baked album full of microwave hits, especially for an artist like Adele who really pulls inspiration from her life experiences.
