Adele to host ‘Saturday Night Live’ next week
After a three-and-a-half year hiatus, Adele is finally returning to the spotlight next week, but not with new music — yet, anyway.
The 32-year-old singer is scheduled to host Saturday Night Live on Saturday, Oct. 24. This appearance marks her first SNL appearance in five years, her third appearance on the show overall, and her first time hosting.
“I’m so excited about this!! And also absolutely terrified!” she wrote in an Instagram post. “I’ve always wanted to do it as a stand alone moment, so that I could roll up my sleeves and fully throw myself into it, but the time has never been right. But if there was ever a time for any of us to jump head first into the deep end with our eyes closed and hope for the best it’s 2020, right?”
While she will …
BREAKING: Adele and Simon Konecki have separated after 7 years together
We have some sad news to report.
After more than 7 years together, Adele and her husband Simon Konecki have separated.
Adele’s representatives, Benny Tarantini and Carl Fysh, confirmed the news earlier this evening in a statement issued to the Associated Press, which reads as follows:
The news comes after months of speculation that the two had separated after Adele was seen on numerous occasions without her wedding ring. During her acceptance speech for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2017, Adele confirmed she had secretly wed Simon after years of speculation.
For the sake of both Adele and Simon, as well as their son Angelo, we ask that you please be respectful of their privacy during what is surely a difficult time for both partie…

Fourth single from 25 confirmed; Vanity Fair photoshoot; and Grammy submissions!
The past few days have been incredibly exciting for Daydreamers!
Today, Billboard confirmed via Twitter that “Water Under the Bridge” will be released as the fourth single from 25 on November 14! It was speculated to be the fourth single for months, but being that Adele hasn’t mentioned anything at her shows about it, we became a bit skeptical. However, we finally have confirmation that we will be getting a fourth single from the album! “Water Under the Bridge” will most likely serve as the final single from 25.
In other news, Adele's cover story for the December issue of Vanity Fair has been published online, with several gorgeous pictures of her! In her interview, she talks about coping with postpartum depression, her ongoing world tour and …

Adele starts US tour in Minnesota tonight
Hello, all! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend, for those of you who live in the U.S. and celebrated Independence Day yesterday.
If you’ve been craving more Adele, say no more. She kicks off the North American leg of her tour in Saint Paul, Minnesota tonight! Start checking Periscope for streaming links — she should be going on stage very soon! In the meantime, based on fan videos from her soundcheck tonight, we’re told that she will be switching up the setlist a little bit from the European leg of her tour. She rehearsed “I’ll Be Waiting” tonight, a song that she has not performed since the Adele Live tour back in 2011, with the exception of her Glastonbury appearance last month.
And in light of her arrival to Minnesota, state go…
Next '25' single to be announced (possibly next week)!
Hello, Daydreamers! If you guys have been craving more Adele on the radio, good news... The third single from 25 is scheduled to be released VERY soon! According to a radio promo email sent out by Columbia Records, Adele’s U.S. record distributor, a new single from 25 will be pushed to pop radio “soon.” It doesn’t specify when, but rumour has it (pun intended) that the single may be announced next week. During her various stops on her Adele Live 2016 tour, Adele has strongly hinted at “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” becoming a single, even asking what a potential dance could be for the song’s music video. (That being said, we were also supposed to get a music video for her last single, “When We Were Young,” which didn’t end up happening…
Adele Live 2016 Concert Film Coming!
Today was a huge day for Daydreamers everywhere, as it marked the first day of Adele’s 2016 world tour in support of her third studio album, 25. The show went very well, with Adele adding in a few surprises along the way (we won’t spoil anything, but the performances of “Set Fire to the Rain” and “When We Were Young” were just a few of the many surprises in store for fans). Perhaps the most exciting news revealed at the show, however, is that after the success of Adele’s 2011 concert CD/DVD, Live at the Royal Albert Hall, she will be releasing another concert DVD for this tour.
Those in attendance revealed that Adele herself confirmed the news, and for fans, this is really exciting. As great as Live at the Royal Albert Hall was, it was also…

Hello, guys! Terribly sorry for the long wait AGAIN, but finals and the holiday have left me very busy and I haven't had time to post. This is a very belated post for week 3 of Christmas With Adele.
Firstly, as most of you US fans are aware, tickets for Adele’s 2016 world tour went on sale last week for North American fans, and while many are not happy (over 10 million people tried to get tickets, with a very small percentage succeeding), a few of us lucked out and managed to get tickets (myself included). So... We are curious to know whether or not you guys got tickets. Please let us know below!
In the spirit of Adele’s tour announcement, this week’s game has to do with Adele’s recent concert at Radio City Music Hall, which aired on NBC la…

Live Performances from This Week!
Hi, guys. Happy Thanksgiving again! We apologize for not keeping you all updated with all of Adele’s live performances and TV appearances from the past week, but here are all of the main ones:
Adele announces 2016 tour dates for UK and Europe!
Hello from the other side, Daydreamers, and Happy Thanksgiving! We have some HUGE news for you.
Adele confirmed via social media this morning that she will be touring in support of her new album, 25! So far, only UK/European dates have been announced; however, she is expected to announce American dates very soon. Earlier this year, Adele also hinted to a fan in Brazil that she would be touring there in support of her next album; however, it is unknown if Adele will stick to that plan or not. Watch the rather comical tour announcement video below, in which Adele reveals that she has been “bluffing” about a tour the entire time:
Presale codes are available, but only for members of Adele’s official site. We are being told that ticket prices are e…

New single, "Hello," coming TOMORROW! (Plus, '25' track listing revealed!)
HUGE news, Daydreamers.
Following the announcement of Adele’s new album, 25, yesterday, we received some massive news today: the album’s lead single, “Hello,” is out TOMORROW, October 23. And we officially have the album’s track listing and album artwork! Details regarding Adele’s new album have been revealed via her new Instagram (@Adele) and through her reps.
First of all, we are thrilled to announce that Adele will be releasing the album’s lead single, “Hello,” tomorrow, October 23. The song’s music video, directed by Xavier Dolan, will also be released tomorrow. And if that’s not enough, thanks to Team Adele, we now have the track listing for the new record as well:
- “Hello”
- “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)”
- “I Miss You”
- “When We Were Young”…
Adele is officially back - also on Facebook!
So, as we all heard the other day, Adele is back. Personally, I love that snippet so much, and if it's about her father, it's twice as haunting. Anyway, I guess we're in an Adele rush, because the wait is indeed over. Adele recently talked about the upcoming album on Facebook. I won't bother you about what it's about, read it yourself:
(click the image if you'd like to read from the Facebook post)
Btw, does anybody see a pattern? In the Facebook post, she says "Hello". The snippet starts with "Hello". Ah, I like it. It's all coming down now. Yikes!
EDIT: This was also posted on Twitter.
EXCLUSIVE: Adele's new song was just previewed during 'The X Factor'!
Huge news for Daydreamers everywhere! Adele is back, having just dropped a preview of her new song on live television!
The snippet is about 15 seconds long and was unveiled exclusively during a commercial break for The X Factor UK. And if there was any doubt as to whether or not the singer is her, Ryan Tedder confirmed it was via OneRepublic's Twitter account.
At this point, we are unsure of when the new single will drop, but with Adele’s third studio album, 25, slated for a November 20 release date, it is almost guaranteed that we will have the song in full very soon.
And in other news... Not only is this trending on Twitter currently, but Adele’s albums are also rising on iTunes Store charts across the globe.
Who’s ready for new Adele music?

Adele to cover 'Rolling Stone'
Hi, guys! We have some exciting news for everyone today.
A few weeks ago, photographer Matthew Castle tweeted about a new magazine cover featuring Adele that would have “official news attached.” FuseTV's senior web producer Mark Sundstrom retweeted this, further validating the information. Being that this was right after we got the announcement from Hits Daily Double that 25 was being released on November 20, everyone was thrilled, assuming that this would probably be how Adele would announce the album.
And now, Matt has come through again. He tweeted to Daydreamer Angela Foster that, although the cover had been delayed, the magazine that will have the exclusive on Adele’s new album is Rolling Stone! Adele has previously graced the cover of Ro…
CONFIRMED: Epworth, Tedder, and Wilson all returning for '25'—plus Greg Kurstin, Jeff Bhasker, and more
Exciting news for Adele fans! Paul Epworth, Dan Wilson and Ryan Tedder — all of whom worked on 21 — will be returning for Adele’s upcoming third studio album, titled 25. This news comes directly from Hits Daily Double, who first confirmed that Adele’s third album was titled 25 and would be released on November 20 this year. Tedder had previously confirmed that he would be on the album, and Adele revealed at the Grammy Awards in 2013 that Epworth was the first one she had approached about her new album, but this is pretty much the first confirmation that Dan Wilson (who co-wrote “Someone Like You”) would be returning.
Hits Daily Double has further confirmed that Tobias Jesso Jr. has songs that made the album’s final cut, as expected, and that A…
"Alive" finally released; plus, new album officially confirmed to be titled '25' AND new Sia/Adele song to appear on Sia's album!
Hi, guys!
So, yesterday was clearly a very exciting day for Adele fans, as it was finally confirmed that her new album is dropping on November 20.
And today should be an equally exciting day for her fans, as Sia’s new single, “Alive,” which she co-wrote with Adele and Tobias Jesso Jr., has finally been released. The song was cut from Adele’s new album at the last minute and was almost immediately chosen as the lead single for Sia’s seventh studio album, This Is Acting, which will feature songs Sia wrote for other artists. And, as can be expected, the song is epic. Check it out below:
As many of Adele’s fans have noted, “Alive” was also released before September 30, making it eligible for a Grammy. This, therefore, also makes Adele eligible to…
EXCLUSIVE: New Adele album being released November 20!
Okay, Daydreamers... This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. I have huge news.
Adele’s long-awaited third studio album is being released November 20.
This marks the first new music from Adele in almost five years — her last full-length release was 2011’s 21. Hits Daily Double confirmed the exciting news this morning, further reporting that the album’s lead single will be released in the first or second week of November, right around the time that “Rolling in the Deep” was released five years ago.
In addition to this, they also confirmed that Adele had secured a deal with NBC in order to promote the album:
And if that's not exciting enough, Adele will also be appearing on the cover of a magazine ahead of the album release. Photographer M…
New Sia song, "Alive", co-written by Adele, to be released this month
We have some really exciting news for Daydreamers everywhere. Singer-songwriter Sia — known for her work with Beyoncé, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, David Guetta, and pretty much every other pop star on the planet — has worked with Adele. Now, don’t get your hopes up — the only confirmed song they worked on was cut from 25 at the last minute, but it will be released as the lead single from Sia’s upcoming seventh studio album with Sia’s vocals on it instead.
In an interview at the Venice Film Festival this past weekend, Sia spilled the beans on her upcoming seventh studio album, This Is Acting, a fitting title considering the album features songs that Sia had written for other artists but decided to record for herself instead. The a…
CONFIRMED: '25' to be released in November
After four years of endless waiting, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We can finally confirm that Adele has finished recording her third studio album and plans to release it in November, according to Billboard.
This past week, fans were ecstatic to learn that Entertainment Weekly’s latest issue features a list of must-hear fall albums, and of course, at the top of the list, is Adele. While some fans questioned the validity of Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone further picked up on it and included her at the top of their list as well. Soon after, NME and Billboard were also reporting that Adele would be releasing an album this fall.
Earlier today, Billboard editor Jason Lipshutz posted on Twitter: “Also wrote a longer piece about Bieb…
Adele has finished recording her new album, possible pre-Thanksgiving release
Daydreamers have been waiting for over four years to hear that Adele has finally finished recording her forthcoming third studio album, rumored to be titled 25. Now, after months and months of waiting, we supposedly have real confirmation that new music is coming.
Last month, Naughty Boy claimed that record labels were clearing their schedules in September to avoid clashing with Adele, who was supposedly releasing the same month. As of right now, it appears that Naughty Boy was wrong and that we may have a few more months to wait, but we should definitely have new music by the end of the year.
Hits Daily Double reports that Adele has finished writing and recording songs for her new album and that is in the process of being mixed at a recor…
Naughty Boy says Adele releasing in September
Good news, Daydreamers. It seems as though after more than four years of waiting for a new Adele album, the wait might finally be over.
According to British musician Naughty Boy, record labels are clearing their schedules to avoid having to compete with Adele, who is supposedly releasing in September. Naughty Boy, who has worked with artists such as Emeli Sandé, also revealed that she is one of many artists delaying their releases to accommodate Adele’s sudden decision to release in September:
Naughty Boy was previously rumored to be working with Adele, but these reports have yet to be confirmed.
In addition to this, some people have also suggested that this is a plausible time for her to release, as it would just make the deadline for the elig…
Confirmed: Adele and Pharrell to collaborate on '25'
For the first time in months, someone connected to Adele’s upcoming third studio album, rumored to be titled 25, has spoken about the project. At the recent Cannes Lion creativity festival, Pharrell Williams confirmed that he had worked with Adele on new music. After referring to her as the main artist in the industry who is currently “getting it right,” he stated:
It had previously been reported on several occasions that the two were collaborating together, with one source even going so far as to state that Adele’s sole reason for being in L.A. earlier this year was to work with Pharrell.
Williams, who is currently a judge on NBC’s The Voice alongside Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, has previously been known for his versatile mu…
Report: Sony preparing to release Adele's third studio album
Thanks to the Daydreamers over at ATRL, we may have received some new information regarding Adele’s highly anticipated third studio album, tentatively titled 25 by fans.
For those of you who don’t know, Sony is the parent company of Columbia Records, the record label that distributes Adele’s releases in the U.S. Sony owns a site, Open Mic, that’s described as “an exclusive, invite-only, online community where you are asked to give your opinions on what Sony Music is doing.” Now, granted that few people actually qualify for the site when taking the entry survey, it is pretty exclusive to get in. But one of our friends over at ATRL managed to get in and has been a member on there for a while.
Earlier this week, he told us that he received an e…
Adele in drag!
So, this isn't some grand news. It's just a humorous treat. We all know Adele celebrated her lovely birthday at May 5th some days ago. You know what she did? Yep, you guessed it (because the title says so, ahem), she was in drag! She dressed as her icon George Michael from the group Wham!, whom also replied to Adele's tweet about it! Check it out here: https://twitter.com/OfficialAdele/status/595852007379968001/photo/1
May you have a nice day.
Yours sincerely,

Adele didn't lie! Sony leaks confirm that '25' album was originally due out in 2014
As many of the Daydreamers know, via a cryptic Tweet on her 26th birthday last year, Adele strongly hinted that a new album, rumored to be titled 25, was scheduled for release later on in the year. When confidential XL Recordings documents confirmed that Adele would not be releasing an album in 2014, however, many people were very disappointed, with some fans even believing that Adele misled her fans.
Not true, though!
Today, WikiLeaks published a bunch of Sony emails and documents onto the Internet, one of which confirmed that Adele was originally supposed to release a new album last year! (For the full thing, go here.) Although this may seem disappointing, this may also further hint that 25 is more likely to come this year!
While still not h…

Christmas With Adele - Week 1 (2014)
Hello, everyone! As promised, our annual "Christmas With Adele" tradition has continued this year.
Later on in this week, I hope to be decorating the main page with a digital Christmas tree and getting us into the holiday spirit. Unfortunately, last year we were anticipating new music from Adele by now, so we will be limited in what we are able to do to spice up the Christmas season at the Adele Wiki, but we will do our best. In order to do this, one of the things we have decided to do is give a weekly Adele trivia game.
Thanks to the online quiz site Sporcle, we were able to create a quiz on all of Adele's songs: http://www.sporcle.com/games/AdeleWikia/adeletrivia1. Feel free to play the game and post your scores below!

News Wrap-Up: '21' sells over 450,000 copies this year alone, Adele still working on '25'
Hello Daydreamers! Happy Thanksgiving! We hope all is well.
We have a brief news wrap-up from this week. Not only did we get some more (minor) details regarding Adele's third studio album (reportedly called 25), but we also found out that Adele has sold a crapload more copies of her record-breaking sophomore studio album 21 this year.
First things first. We are proud to announce that according to Media Traffic, 21 has sold approximately 456,000 copies worldwide this year alone. Since its release in 2011, it is estimated to have sold approximately 30 million copies, making it one of the best-selling albums of all-time. It also spawned three number-one singles ("Rolling in the Deep", "Someone Like You", and "Set Fire to the Rain") and one top 20…
Adele to be featured on Band Aid 30! (UPDATE: She's not really doing it - sorry!)
We have some very exciting news for the Daydreamers. Despite the fact that Adele has been busy recording her third studio album and as a result, probably will not release new music until next year, we can confirm that we will hear her voice again on a track before the end of the year. Adele has recently been confirmed to be one of the featured artists on Band Aid 30. She, along with One Direction, Ellie Goulding, Olly Murs, Ed Sheeran, Emeli Sandé, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Elbow, Sam Smith, Bono of U2, Bastille, Paloma Faith, Jessie Ware, and more yet-to-be-announced artists will be re-recording the track "Do They Know It's Christmas?", which will feature altered to target the Ebola crisis in West Africa.
As if that's not exciting enough, th…
BREAKING: XL confirms no new music coming from Adele this year
Heartbreaking news for Daydreamers today — in a new financial report from XL Recordings, it has been confirmed that Adele will not be releasing new music this year, despite previous reports. In honor of her birthday this year, Adele tweeted, “Bye bye 25... See you again later in the year x.” Many interpreted this as a hint at new music, believing that her upcoming third studio album would be titled 25 and would be released before the end of the year. According to the New York Times, however, XL’s most recent financial report indicates otherwise:
Unfortunately, it sounds like we should not expect any new music from Adele until at least next year. We will keep you updated as more details become available.

"You'll Never See Me Again", "Never Gonna Leave You", and "Set Fire to the Rain" demo leak online!
Well, Daydreamers, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel after all. While we haven’t heard anything about new music yet, today has been a good Labor Day for Adele fans. THREE new audios leaked online today. Yesterday, a snippet of an unreleased song titled “You’ll Never See Me Again” leaked online, and it was later revealed that there was a promo CD on Discogs that showed “You'll Never See Me Again,” “Never Gonna Leave You” and “Set Fire to the Rain” as the track listing. The CD was titled Fraser T. Smith Sessions. Soon after, I discovered that “You’ll Never See Me Again” and “Never Gonna Leave You” appear on Fraser T. Smith’s BMI, although they don't appear under Adele’s because she is incorrectly credited as “Adele Watkins.”&#…
Angelo wins damages from paparazzi photos; new photo policy on Wiki
For those of you who are unaware, Adele just won a five-figure sum in damages after paparazzi published photographs of her son, Angelo, from last summer. According to Jenny Afia, Adele’s lawyer, the singer has insisted Angelo never become “public property.” “It is a matter of profound sadness that many of his milestone moments, such as his first family outing and his first trip to playgroup, were photographed and published worldwide expressly against his family's wishes,” Afia said. The damages from the settlement with photo agency Corbis Images UK will be held in a trust for Angelo, and the agency agreed not to use the photos again.
Out of respect for Adele and her family, we have removed any images previously posted on the Wiki and will ref…
Third album not being released until January of 2015?
Hello, Daydreamers! We do have some confusing (and possibly unfortunate news). Paul Moss — who was previously thought to be Adele's publicist but has since become one of our top sources for information on Adele's third studio album — has delivered some good news and some bad news.
Today, Paul Tweeted:
Curious about the album, I Tweeted to him hoping for a response. Paul was generous enough to respond and confirmed that it had been registered but had no title yet (which contradicts our previous indication from Adele's Tweet back in May in which she basically confirmed the album was titled 25), and he also said that the album could be due out anywhere from now until June 2015. He said that he believes the album will be out in January of 2015, …
REPORT: 25 confirmed for fourth quarter release?
So, as we all know, at the beginning of May, Adele thrilled her fans when she posted a very cryptic message on Twitter that said, "Bye bye 25... See you again later in the year x", implying that her third studio album was titled 25 and would be released later on in 2014. Some of her collaborators, specifically Ryan Tedder (who previously worked with her for the second and third tracks off of her sophomore album 21, "Rumour Has It" and "Turning Tables", respectively), Diane Warren, and Phil Collins, have all confirmed work on the album had begun and that they had finished their work on it, although Tedder confirmed at the Billboard Music Awards that he was going back into the studio with Adele. Other than that, we have heard nothing from Adele…
Wiz Khalifa claims he and Adele never collaborated
So... Remember when Wiz Khalifa kind of confirmed on multiple occasions that he and Adele had collaborated on his upcoming studio album, Blacc Hollywood? Well... He kind of denied that they ever collaborated today, making him the second rapper to lie about having Adele on an album in order to create hype for it. In 2013, rapper Big Sean hinted at the collaboration following reports that they had worked together due to a comment made by Trinidad James claiming that Adele would be appearing on Big Sean's latest album, which proved to be false. Despite the disappointment we may have, I think it's safe to assume that most Daydreamers will also be breathing a sigh of relief because... Let's face it. Adele's comeback song should NOT have been a …
Is the lead single of '25' about to be released?
Now, Daydreamers, before you get too excited, please note that this is just speculation.
An article was published today featuring an interview with Ryan Tedder, best known for being the lead singer of the band OneRepublic, as well as a successful songwriter for artists like Beyoncé, Leona Lewis, and Adele. After co-writing two tracks on Adele's last album, 21 ("Turning Tables" and "Rumour Has It", as well as producing the latter), he confirmed late in 2013 that he had completed his work on Adele's third studio album, recently confirmed to be titled 25 in a cryptic Tweet posted by Adele the night before her 26th birthday. Since then, Tedder has been dropping hints about the new album, which also was confirmed to be released later on in the y…
Adele confirms new album title via Twitter
HUGE news, Daydreamers. Adele is coming back. We don't know when, but in honor of her birthday, she took to Twitter to say goodbye to being 25... but confirmed her return to it later in the year:
Yes, it's true. Adele has confirmed that her third album will be out this year and will be titled 25. The title was highly speculated to be 25 due to her naming her first two albums after her age. This is the first time Adele has confirmed anything about the album. Get excited, Daydreamers. It's coming.
I'd say today was a pretty good day. We got a selfie from her and confirmation of the album title and that it will be released this year. Are you as excited as we are? Tweet to us about your excitement and sound off in the comments below!

RUMOR: New album in October, possible comeback gig at Royal Albert Hall
Don't get too excited, Daydreamers, but a recent rumor (cue "Rumour Has It") is suggesting that Adele's third studio album will be released in October. Why are we reporting on this after neglecting most of the other rumors surrounding the new music? Well, it was highly reported months ago that her record label confirmed they wanted the album out by fall, if not sooner. And another factor? Taylor Swift is also reportedly releasing in October, meaning that there will be some competition as far as sales go. We found this to be very interesting if it is true. In addition to this, if it was released in October, it would be past the deadline for eligibility for the Grammys, meaning the only work by her that could even be nominated would be the a…
New policy on images
Hello, everyone!
I just wanted to make everyone on here aware that I'm creating a new policy on the uploading of images to this site. Please 'do not' upload any images to the site that would intrude on Adele's personal life. I had made the mistake of uploading images of Adele and her mother Penny to the site without realizing that the original source of the photos before they leaked to Twitter was supposedly a family member of Adele's Facebook account. They had posted photos from a family gathering and some of them made it onto the Internet, including some images of Adele and her mother.
We were contacted by someone – possibly Adele's mother – who kindly asked that we remove the photos from the site as soon as possible. The images have been…
"Skyfall" nominated for Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media!
Queen of the Grammys, Adele, has been nominated for yet another Grammy award. Her record label submitted "Skyfall" for three Grammy Awards this year: Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Song Written for Visual Media. While she got snubbed with the Song of the Year award, it was not expected for her to receive Record of the Year due to the release date of "Skyfall", which barely fit into the time range necessary for pieces of work nominated. Regardless, Daydreamers were overjoyed when Adele was nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media. While some were disappointed that she wasn't nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance (which she was the first recipient of in 2012 with "Someone Like You" and continued her streak of being …
Christmas With Adele: 2013 – Week 1
Hello, Daydreamers! :) It's that time of the year again... Christmas With Adele is back!
I know there are a few newbies here, so... For those of you who don't know, Christmas With Adele is an annual thing we do every year around Christmastime. Every week, I post a new blog that relates to Adele and/or Christmastime up until Christmas Day. Sometimes, I'll post rare videos, trivia, or other fun games. The Christmas With Adele feature is pretty big, so this year I'm hoping to top last year's.
For the first week of Christmas With Adele 2013, it'll primarily be a recap of previous years, but first... We do have some important business to tend to. One of our traditions every year is to put up a Christmas tree on our main page. Not literally, but ev…
Adele working with William Orbit on new album
Daydreamers, we have an update on Adele's new album. Unfortunately, though, we're not sure if it's good or bad news. William Orbit, known for working with Madonna, Britney Spears, and Katie Melua, has confirmed his involvement with the album:
So... What's so bad about this? Well, first of all, Orbit is primarily known for his electronic dance music. He has had previous hits with the likes of P!nk that are not primarily dance, though. Although Adele is not known for dance music, making the combination seem quite strange, it's Adele, so we have faith that it will be musical brilliance.
The other downside, though, is that Orbit and Adele will not be working together until next year, meaning that the album may have been delayed or may not be coming…
Adele's recent social network activity: New Google+ account, YouTube account name changed, and selfie posted on Twitter!
Adele has been unusually busy lately, wouldn't you say, Daydreamers? I mean... As if taking care of her 13-month-old son Angelo with boyfriend Simon Konecki isn't enough, in recent days, she has allowed herself be photographed with her family on several occasions, thanks to the nosy paparazzi over in the UK that are watching her every move. Unfortunately, the one thing they have no photos of is Adele in the studio. Don't worry, though, her team made sure we were well aware that she may be back in the studio, and new music may be on the way... for real, this time. I present my evidence below.
Exhibit A: Adele's new Google+ account.
Yes, Adele's team created a Google+ account for her on November 19, 2013. Coincidence? I think not. I mean... Wh…
