Adele working with producers James Ford, Kid Harpoon on new album?

Monday, Apr 8 2013

Adele is reportedly working with producers James Ford and Kid Harpoon on her next album.

 

The 'Skyfall' singer is back in the recording studio to work on the follow-up to her monster-hit LP 21, according to The Sun.

 

Florence + the Machine, Jessie Ware, Klaxons and the Arctic Monkeys are among the acts who have worked with the producers in the past.

 

"Adele wants to move with the times and is trying to make her new record sound as edgy as possible," a source claimed.

 

"The team she's assembled is first rate, and she's confident they can help match the success of her first two albums. It's no easy task, as the world will be desperate to hear it."

 

However, last month producer Ryan Tedder dismissed rumours that Adele was working on a new album.

 

The OneRepublic frontman - who wrote two songs for 21 - revealed that there are no writing sessions for a new LP yet, but he has "a couple of ideas" ready.

 

Adele was recently reported to have recorded a duet with Robbie Williams for his rumoured second swing album.

 

Sounds good to me - Florence + the Machine and Jessie Ware's sound don't seem to far from Adele's.

I do wonder if she might release it sometime this year. I know she said in an interview a couple of months ago that she hadn't started preparing it at all yet, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she's deliberately trying to throw people off the scent and stop hype building up and getting out of control.....we know how much she hates publicity. I honestly wouldn't be shocked to see her suddenly announce in October or something that the album is finished and will be out in 5 weeks' time. There was a report in the tabloids (yes, I know, but still) a while back that her American label had been told to prepare for a release at the end of 2013.

Yeah, it could probably end up a similar story to the song Skyfall, where there was lots of rumours around and most people could pretty much tell it was happening, but nothing was confirmed to last minute. Blimey, an Adele album release in the Q4 would be massive! Perhaps sales like Dido's Life For Rent experienced back in 2003.

I think she needs to get on with it, I mean it is going to be almost 3 years after 21 this fall.

They'd so stick it on to a re-release though.

 

No re-release, and 21 still hasn't been put on sale. :D Looking forward to hearing this third album!

According to this post on ATRL forums, a reliable source has tweeted that Adele will release her album this year!

Paul Moss aka Adele's publicist has tweeted she will be releasing this year!

I wonder if she might "do a Beyonce" and just suddenly put it onsale one day out of nowhere. I could see her being exactly the type who'd want to do something like that, and skip the publicity/promotion/hype that would come with some big months-long build-up.
Probably be end of 2014, but still.. can't wait!
I don't think I've ever gotten bored of Adele despite how big she's been the last few years. Another "Set Fire To The Rain" type song would be perfect imho but I'm also excited to hear something completely new from her as well since she will have to explore like most artists do :P

She'd have big competition here and in Europe with the new Take That record which will probably drop in November. Gary and Robbie are enjoying great solo sales and it's been 4 years since their last album sold over half a million in it's first week.

 

Adele might release in the summer possibly seeing as I'm sure it'll be a happy record this time around

to be honest I'm not sure I've heard a happy song from Adele at all and not just the last album either. I must be missing something surely :unsure:

Surely she'll have to do something happier in order to avoid people getting bored of her. Although, her songs do trounce over most other artists' ballads.

Yeah I'd take it with a pinch of salt. Emeli's only just started working on the new album, so I doubt she'll be releasing this year. But who knows how far along Adele is in the creative process.
She's been working with William Orbit if that's of interest.

I'm fairly sure Emeli Sande will have at least a single out before the end of the year. They said she'd be on a break in 2013, yet she was still everywhere. I don't expect this year to be much different!

 

Back to Adele, she can take all the time she needs as long as it's the best work she's ever done!

Probably a Professor Green (if his album ever surfaces now) or Naughty Boy (apparently he's already at work on album #2) feature if anything, or maybe just a single to create some buzz ('Who Needs the World' is yet to happen), but I can't see it being anything from the next album campaign. You can't rush perfection. :angel:

Rumours are going round that this is out this year, and is called... 25 :lol:

 

Unsure if that's true, but rumours also say we may have a single as quickly as March! Saw this on ATRL and Twitter.

Doesn't she usually name the album at the age she wrote she wrote the songs? So it'd more then likely be 24.

But she was 19 when she released '19' but '22' when she released '21'. So it could be '24' or '25'.
