Adele In No Hurry To Record 21 Follow-Up I haven't even thought about my third record yet,' Adele tells Billboard.Everywhere you went in 2011 it seemed like Adele was there. With such hard-to-escape singles as "Rolling in the Deep," "Someone Like You," "Rumor Has It" and "Set Fire to the Rain," she ruled the charts and radio on her way to landing the year's best-selling album with 21. If she were taking a page from the Rihanna playbook, that would mean that right about now, the British belter would be hard at work on a follow-up to her smash. But, in keeping with the long, slow burn of "Rolling" and her generally less hectic pace than other modern divas, Adele recently toldBillboard magazine that she's taking her time with album #3. Still unable to speak after recent surgery to remove a benign polyp from her throat, the six-time Grammy nominee emailed the magazine that she's looking forward to some "do nothing" time in the near future.
"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," said Adele, who is 23. "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." She's had plenty of time to do the latter, given that she canceled all remaining 2011 dates in October to rest her voice and recover from the surgery. The good news is, the surgery went really well and, while it may take a bit of time to build her chops back up, going forward, it will be much easier to sing than before, she said. "And mentally, I won't be worried about my voice onstage anymore," she said, speculating that by February — the Grammys are February 12 — she'll be ready to sing again. Explaining that she was inspired by late British siren Amy Winehouse's self-created artistic method, Adele said she sees no upside to having a specific, market-tested plan as an artist. "Who f---ing cares if people don't get it or don't like it? I'd rather trust myself, to like what I've done and stick to my guns than make music I don't like, wear clothes that don't suit me and flutter between genres because I'm scared I won't be relevant if I pass my 'sell by' date," she said. "Amy tattooed that in me! She made music because she was good at it and wanted to. And she was a huge artist who was always a bigger fan. That's why I gravitated towards her and listened when she sang and spoke."
She's also careful about overexposure and not taking every opportunity to hawk 21 just to move a few more units. "If I did everything, my artistry and music would become diluted," she said. "Performances and interviews travel globally and instantly nowadays because of YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and blogs. I'd be repeating myself and be overexposed if I did every TV and every magazine cover I was given the opportunity to do." Refreshingly, she also admitted that "my career isn't my life," saying she leaves work at the door when she comes home and has stuck with her same group of friends and advisers, from obscurity to worldwide fame. " Of course I'm bowled over by people's response to 21, and when I meet artists I love, it blows my mind," she said. "But it baffles me as well. I go home and my best friend laughs at me, rather than going to a celebrity-studded party to rub shoulders with people who know me but who I don't know. I'm Z-list when it comes to that sh--."

I only recently realized she sang that Someone Like You song. I have never heard the whole thing, but I have heard parts of it about every ten minutes, and I am totally sick of it. My Legacy

bad idea, but then again, these are bad times
remember when artists were on a roll and kept releasing GOOD albums EVERY year or every two years? I'm talking about the 68-93 era...
Adele has just said that she has 0% inspiration right now, which is NOT a good sign...

If she was, she should put up random images like the boys at Chicago do... | |

More like 68-88... people stop releasing albums every year after '88 and took lengthy breaks. The break thing didn't start until Michael Jackson... he and Janet actually. Madonna at least released an album every two, three years until the mid-1990s. It's just a different time. You either burn yourself out or you maintain some sort of base. We shall see what happens when Adele releases her next album. It may not seem like she's overexposed because she's not doing promo like Rihanna or Lady Gaga but even your songs can make folks tired of you so I think, for now, she's smart. Unless she takes the Dr. Dre/D'Angelo route then in my Richard Pryor voice, "we in trouble". | |

^^ PLUS we must remember this girl almost blew her voice so of course she's not inspired yet... but maybe she's like Taylor Swift and won't be inspired until another relationship of hers break down but I'm not about to judge right now. | |

but I do agree with the 68-88 thing, that's true, with the CD, the albums went from 9-11 tracks to 14-16, which was ridiculous, enter the era of filler and "I just need more time to finish my new album"
but I still think half of the new artists of the 90s liked to release their new albums quickly, specially british artists...
Adele should release her new album during the fall of 2012 (no pun intended, lol) or early 2013... | |

She's so cool. She'll be around and selling records as long as she wants to. People will always want to hear her music I think. 3121... Don't U Wanna Come? |

wow,... | |

I have a feeling she might indeed put her album out in 2013. Sometimes people's statements can change in a minute. We seen how it is... | |
