It's almost as if this generation of writers and producers believe that the more they speak on a project the better chance of inclusion they will have on it and honestly it's pathetic

Ryan Tedder says a lot of things though. Lol, love Ryan but damn is that true! I'll never be able to forget him claiming how Leona's "Happy" was going to be this monster mega hit that would practically take over the world in the weeks leading up to its release. He fell hard on his face with that one. :kii: Just this past year you had Love Runs Out, which he hyped as having the most hit potential of anything the band had done. Poor Ryan, I think he genuinely gets over-excited whenever he's working on something new and can't help but over-hype it.

Now that Adele didn't release in 2014, it seems anticipation grows at a faster rate as each month goes by. All the music previews for 2015 point to an inevitable release even though we just know she has been quietly working away at a new album. I wonder how long the wait will be stretched out. Unfortunately, I could totally see a scenario where we don't get the album until the end of the year. She seems to take her time (which is fine and all) but there's more pressure on her it seems like the longer she waits. I can't remember the last time an album had this much speculation with so little info.

Adele 'Calls In Help From Pharrell' For New AlbumTwo of the biggest hit-makers in the music industry are finally (maybe) working together, yay...! With her alleged new album constantly in the headlines, it looks like Adele has joined forces with Pharrell Williams to ensure her comeback is a happy one. Get it?! According to the Daily Star, sources told them: “Adele is back in the US to finalise her new album and she’s making some 11th hour alterations. She wants to try something different with Pharrell.” While the Come Get It Bae singer would be silly to turn down the opportunity to work with the Brit. He said: “I always thought it was special, man that soulful, soulful voice.” Amid album speculation, Adele touched down in LA over the weekend, where she flashed her wedding ring slamming reports that her and hubby Simon Konecki had split.

And while that isn't necessarily bad - I love Pharrell - it isn't necessarily what I want out of Adele. Her previous Ryan Tedder collaborations sounded like Ryan Tedder songs (particularly Rumour Has It), and they're definitely not my favorite Adele tracks.

At the time Rumour Has It was the least Ryan Tedder sounding production that he had made. Same goes for Turning Tables that he wrote on.

Rumour Has it sounds like a OneRepublic song - and the verses/pre-chorus sound as suited for his voice as they are hers. You're right that Turning Tables sounds a bit different, but I still pegged that as one of the Tedder collaborations immediately (before checking the actual credits). And I could still envision that being a OneRepublic song as well. Plus, he co-wrote it but didn't produce it - which explains why it doesn't capture all of his trademarks. Tedder's production/songwriting reminds me a lot of Stargate during its big run a few years back - there are too many signature elements, and it overwhelms some of the uniqueness of each artist. Pharrell has been guilty of this as well (even someone with a sound as unique as Ed Sheeran couldn't escape the Pharrell touch on Sing), and that's what has me worried. I just worry about an Adele album even remotely turning into a "hot producer showcase." She's too good for that.

I have no issue with any of the work she did with Tedder on 21. I have no issue with 21 at all. It still sounds fresh to this day, which is why I'm so excited for all of this news finally starting to break about album #3. Can't wait!

Yeah, I really hope she just stays true to herself and doesn't just let anyone with a 'big name' hop on her album just so they can get some writing/producing credits. Excited for new music from her!

I think Adele really wants to perfect her record, which is understandable since she has a lot to live up to. I can't wait until more info starts getting released about the album. I get the sense maybe she has backtracked? I remember reading previous reports that a handful of tracks were done quite a while ago. I wonder how many have been scrapped since then, if Adele has completely changed her vision for this album (didn't she once say more "stripped down"), and what overall sound she will be going for.
Given all this, and if it is going to be due in the second half of 2015 I'm going to predict a 9/28 release date. Right before the Grammy deadline so she could potentially score big in 2016, she can dominate the entire 4th quarter and holiday sales, and release a huge song that could take over the second half of the summer.

I wouldn't be surprised if it came out more around the time we expected it to this year--close to or on Black Friday week. If it's great, it won't matter when she releases it, it will be huge at the Grammy's. But it sounds like early stages in some regard, though definitely coming together, and I think they'd be more apt to take advantage of holiday sales for a record-breaking first week rather than focus on a Grammy deadline. Though if the album gets done early, they won't sit on it for long, so who knows.

Thinking long term though, the Grammy deadline is important. Yes, it doesn't matter when she releases she'll show up at the Grammys somehow regardless of year. By 2017 though the album will be "old news" in the music world. 2016 the entire show could potentially revolve around her. She doesn't seem to want to do too many appearances. Regardless of any one week record, which I would argue she has potential to break it outside of black friday, creating a long term plan given her reclusive habits is more important. She won't have a 21-like era again. People were continually discovering her at that point in her career. Now everyone knows her, so everything will be much more front loaded. At this point if I had a say in Adele's marketing:
--Anticipation is already through the roof. If she doesn't want to promote tons right away there are plenty of other ways she can hint when the single/album comes and make people piss themselves while waiting. --Drop a lead single in the summer (July/August) and watch the Internet explode. --Adele promotes the single as she pleases during this time as much as she wants. Maybe does a few interviews. --Drop album on 9/28. If the lead single is gold this means she can get into album, song, record, and pop categories at the Grammys. --A few more high profile performances during this time. VMAs? SNL season premiere and debut a new song at this time? Right before or after the album releases --Release a second single in the fall. --Have a Christmas special. Given Adele's audience of all ages, this would be a good move for her. It wouldn't have to be live. She could film it on her schedule. People would watch. --Whatever other appearances she feels like making to close out the year. --2016 Grammys and another single. Having her release in time for the deadline allows for her to stay in everyones minds during nomination and voting time. --Tour in 2016 with select televised performances.
She could dominate July/August through Grammy season.

I will lol so hard if she releases right before the Grammy deadline and kills all of the Grammy potential for 1989.

I'm very concerned that maybe Adele will be the next Alanis Morisette. One huge album era, but then making a wrong step in the following album, and we know what happen next.

Alanis and Glen and Maverick allowed that to happen if you ask me but that's another story.

I'm so frustated about waiting something British. At this pace, by the time the album dropped, there's a new Sherlock episode.

I'm very concerned that maybe Adele will be the next Alanis Morisette. One huge album era, but then making a wrong step in the following album, and we know what happen next. Well Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie was drastically different from the ultra angsty Jagged Little Pill for one, both musically and thematically. Plus I feel like Alanis was super overwhelmed by the pressure of having to produce another Jagged Little Pill, which everyone should have recognized was not going to happen. You can't catch lightening in a bottle twice. Which I have a feeling is what is going to happen with 25. It will be a big success (Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie sold 3 million copies in the US, a not insignificant number even in 1998), but the expectation coming off of the last album is going to be killer. Can Adele sell another 11 million copies in the US? Maybe, but it's highly unlikely. Will selling 4 million copies be considered a flop for her? It's quite possible.

www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/adeles-new-album-wont-first-half-year-say-sources/
One of the most anticipated albums in pop history – the follow-up to Adele’s record-breaking 21 – almost certainly won’t be released before the Autumn and may take even longer, sources have told MBW.
Adele is understood to be in Los Angeles this week working on new songs.
Many had expected her third album to arrive in early 2015, which would follow the pattern of her previous two releases: 19 (January 28, 2008) and 21 (19 January, 2011). And, at some point, it was certainly pencilled in for that release window.
But sources have told MBW that all parties working in Team Adele – including management company September, UK label XL/Beggars and US label Columbia – are supportive of her taking her time; to the point that (hold your breath, worldwide industry sales monitors) her third album isn’t even currently guaranteed to arrive this year.
A source close to Team Adele told MBW: “The album will be released when it’s ready – [we] hope that will be at some stage in 2015. That’s all I can tell you right now.”
Another US source told us that “logically, there is now almost no chance” of the LP being ready for release before the second half of 2015.

I hope they're waiting for Q4. Would love a Beyoncé-esque release and iTunes takeover a week or two before Christmas and have her sell like 5 million+ worldwide in one week and breaking Britney's record in the US.

I'm all for Adele taking her time, but nearly five years to get the next release is some Axl Rose shit.

I'd love if her material was in the vein of Hozier's "Take Me To Church." Or even if she just covered that song. She'd destroy it.

When is the last time there has been this much anticipation for an album? That's not rhetorical, I would like to know. I can't think of anything in the last decade that comes close.
