Back in September, Damon Albarn said he'd worked with Adele on her new album, 25. He called her "very insecure" and characterized the work as "middle of the road," noting that he didn't think his contributions would make the final cut. In a new Rolling Stone cover story, Adele addressed working with Albarn.
"It ended up being one of those 'don't meet your idol' moments," she said. "And the saddest thing was that I was such a big Blur fan growing up. But it was sad, and I regret hanging out with him."
"None of it was right," she told Rolling Stone. "None of it suited my record. He said I was insecure, when I'm the least-insecure person I know. I was asking his opinion about my fears, about coming back with a child involved—because he has a child—and then he calls me insecure?"
Adele worked with Sia on the album. Though none of their collaborations made the final tracklist, Sia eventually used one of the songs, "Alive", for her own album. "I actually love the dynamic of us both being in there and just fucking being bossy," Adele said of working with Sia. "And it's all these male producers, and they're all fucking shitting themselves 'cause we're in there."
Adele also had a little to say about wanting new music from Frank Ocean. "I'm just fucking waiting for Frank fucking Ocean to come out with his album," she said. "It's taking so fucking long. That sounds so stupid, coming from me, doesn't it?"
