Adele apologises for taking so bloody long making her new album
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 22 October 2015
Adele has spoken about her new album, confirming that it will be called ’25’. Well, she tweeted a picture of a letter. Which is as good as speaking, really. She also apologised for taking so long making it – she’s already two year’s older than the period the album is documenting.
“My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make-up record”, she wrote. “I’m making up with myself. Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did. But I haven’t got time to hold onto the crumbs of my past like I used to. What’s done is done. Turning 25 was a turning point for me, slap bang in the middle of my 20s. Teetering on the edge of being an old adolescent and a fully-fledged adult, I made the decision to go into becoming who I’m going to be forever without a removal van full of my old junk”.
“’25’ is about getting to know who I’ve become without realising”, she concluded. “And I’m sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened”.
As previously reported, a snippet of new music from the album appeared in an advert screened during Sunday’s edition of ‘The X-Factor’. Still no confirmation of the release date though. We’ll stick with 20 Nov for the moment.
