BFT London - Adele is not set to release any new music this year, her label has confirmed.
Fans of the Rolling In The Deep singer had been hoping to hear her third album this year, but Rolling Stone has reported that a financial report from her label XL Recordings shows there will be no new music from the singer in 2014.
The report read: “There will not be a further new release by Adele during 2014 and consequently there will be a fall in XL’s turnover and profits. “Nevertheless, the directors are confident that by pursuing management policies... XL will continue to achieve success with other artists.”
Rumours that Adele’s third album was due imminently started around her 26th birthday, when she tweeted that she would “see” 25 “later in the year”, as her previous two albums, 19 and 21, were named after the age she was when she wrote each of them.
One Republic’s frontman Ryan Tedder has said he was working on a new album with Adele, Phil Collins said he was writing songs with her, and Wiz Khalifa said their collaboration for his album had been scrapped. But Martin Mills, the chair of Beggars Group of which label XL Recordings is a member, said there was “no truth” in reports that she would release an album and tour the world in 2015.
