5 things you should know about Adele
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins is probably the most important British singer right now, despite the fact that the 27-year-old can not do much with her fame. In the past three years she has completely withdrawn from the public. In 2012 she became engaged to Simon Konecki, 14 years his senior, and a few months later she gave birth to her son Angelo James.
Now Adele is back - and how! The video for their first single "Hello" from the upcoming album "25" saw millions of people within a very short time. It is already being considered the saddest song of the year.
Adele gave a detailed interview to the British magazine "i-D". We have compiled the most exciting passages for you.
Adele on her new album "25"
Their third studio album "25" is all about aging and the nostalgia that comes with it. What was? What is? What could have been? It's about memories from teenage years that are now appreciated - getting drunk with friends in the park, for example. "These were the truest, best moments of my life," says Adele. "I wish I had known then that I would not experience that again." That is not because of their fame, but simply because life goes on. In an open letter she posted on her Facebook page, she describes her feelings for the new album in more detail - and apologizes that it took so long. Life had interfered with her. We feel you, Adele!
From the "break-up record" to the "make-up record"
Hello...
Posted by Adele on Wednesday, October 21, 2015Adele about worrying
Since she was a mother and has crossed the 25-year limit, Adele takes much more relaxed. "I just do not have the capacity to handle all the worries I've had before." She loved the drama associated with it even! "Life is so much easier if you do not cling so much to your past."
Adele about being a mother
"Everybody can do it, how difficult can it be?", Adele thought before she became a mother. It's tough, but it's phenomenal, it's the best thing I've ever done. " She feels young through her son Angelo. "There's nothing that brings you back to earth more than a child who refuses to do what you ask." In the past, her world revolved around her, now Angelo takes center stage.
Adele about her role model Amy Winehouse
"If Amy had not existed, I would never have 100% picked up a guitar, never wrote 'Daydreamer', 'Hometown' or 'Someone Like You'," says Adele. She loved her and went through her own intense mourning process as a fan. However, she regrets having seen the documentary: "I felt like an intruder, that was very unpleasant - and that ruined the movie for me."
Adele about her favorite series
Adele's favorite TV series include "Teen Mom" as well as the bloody-scary series "The Walking Dead" and "American Horror Story". She tries to lead a normal life as well as possible - also for the sake of her fans. "Nobody wants to hear an album from someone who has lost touch with reality." I won!
