In the new Rolling Stone cover story, Adele gets raw about the fruition of her upcoming comeback album, 25, including clearing the air about some grossly condescending quotes Blur's Damon Albarn gave about the singer in September.
Albarn had told The Sun that the reclusive chanteuse enlisted him to collaborate on 25, and (at the time) the songs he had previewed were "middle of the road."He went on to say, "Adele asked me to work with her and took the time out for her. And I'm not a producer so...I don't know what his happening. Will she use any of the stuff? I don't think so. Let's wait and see. The thing is, she's very insecure. And she doesn't need to be, she's still so young.'"
-_-
Ms. Adkins didn't hold back, thankfully.
She told Rolling Stone that associating with Albarn "ended up being one of those 'don't meet your idol' moments, 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."
She then went on to call his egg shell-ego bluff by basically saying the music he offered blew hard:"None of it was right. 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?"
The singer also revealed that, like us, she is tapping her god damn toes waiting for the new Frank Ocean album.
"I'm just fucking waiting for Frank fucking Ocean to come out with his album. It's taking so fucking long. That sounds so stupid, coming from me, doesn't it?"
Come the fack through, boo.While it's unclear whether or not Damon was one of the 209 million views currently on the video for Adele's lead single off 25, "Hello"--which not only broken the most Vevo views in 24 hours, but is also fastest music video to surpass 100 million views (in less than 5 days)--but statistically speaking, there's probably a good chance.
