Sometimes we just get Adele at a spiritual level, you know? “That’s over and done with, thank f-k”. No, it’s not about anyone specifically. The singer recently teased her album in a long Twitter post where she also expressed to fans exactly how she felt.

The pair famously attended the Brit school, as did the likes of Jessie J and Leona Lewis but Adele said that she was not friends with Amy as they didn’t attend at the same time.
Max Martin may not be a household name, but within the music industry he’s known as the Midas of Pop: he’s the golden touch songwriter behind Taylor Swift’s 22 and Shake It Off, Katy Perry’s I Kissed a Girl and insane by Britney Spears, among dozens of other chart-toppers. When I’m away, I really, really miss my life at home. “Regardless of being a mum or a girlfriend, I didn’t want to feel like that again”, she said. But above everything else, her primary reason was more personal, internal even. “I don’t know why I wasn’t ready. I’ve got enough toxins in me body, I don’t need any of that!”
Adele may have been playing mum for the last few years – but don’t think for a second it was easy for her. Adele shared, the magazine apparently taking liberties with her strong accent. “It’s fucking hard. I thought it would be easy”. And she played me things like The Shangri-Las that I wasn’t really familiar with.
A once-in-a-generation talent and a pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense, Amy wrote and sung from the heart using her musical gifts to analyse her own problems.
“Becoming a parent and moving past my mid-twenties, I simply don’t have the capacity to worry about as many things that I used to really enjoy worrying about”, she said.

Adele reckons that her staying grounded is better for her music. Having sold over 30 million copies of 21, that’s a given. It’s a great article, detailing the process of writing 25, and talking to her about handling the pressures of fame and her new motherhood. “But you know, I love Amy. And I get frightened for the people that I love, feeling like they’ve lost me”. It’s a bit toxic, fame. “25 has five exclamation marks after it because I was like, ‘How the f-k did that happen?!’ 21 to 25”, Adele said. The singer, who was first discovered on MySpace, says she’s definitely not competing with her previous work. I’d like to make another record.
