Adele reportedly taps John Legend and producer Raphael Saadiq for new album

[Jordan Miller]

Adele is reportedly working with John Legend and singer/songwriter/producer Raphael Saadiq. Saadiq has created hits for Joss Stone, D'Angelo, TLC, En Vogue, Kelis, Mary J. Blige, Ledisi, Whitney Houston, Solange Knowles and Legend. 

A source tells the The Mirror Adele “is ­pouring her heart and soul into this record, ­including how she feels post-divorce.”

Adele said her album would arrive in September, something her manager recently shot down. 

My first thoughts? A collab between Adele and Legend could be legendary, but feels a tad too safe and predictable. Either way, I'm super thirsty for her new music. 

What do YOU think?

I would tap John Legend too.

I’ve never listened to her albums  but I can’t wait for new music!

I personally don’t listen to his music but it sounds like it may be soulful? 

[Blackout2006]

Omg, let’s just hope her new album is a 70s-sad disco breakup album  would definitely give my two cents

Wouldn’t we all love that as an Adele theme  I’m bored of the sad whine and cry-baby “I cant get ver him” stories,  add some funky disco to it

Adele x John Legend? Sounds like overkill to me.

No because she didn't treat and release All I ask as a proper single. We had no good MV for it, no good advertising. It was the best song off that album and she wasted it!
I haven't forgiven Adele for wasting such an opportunity with All I Ask

feel ya !.. All I Ask was also my favorite track from her last album.
After the grammys performance and her vocal cord injury she stopped performing it , several singing youtubers said it is because All I Ask is too complicatad to sing. Bruno Mars himself said the song was specifically designed to take Adele out of her comfort zone and show all her vocal range.

I think she just decided not to release it as a single so she dont have to performing it anymore

Yeah Adele does come across as lazy when it comes to her artistry. It did feel like "oh i can't sing it, so i am not going to bother now" instead of embracing the song and doing it justice. Hell if she didn't want to sing it, it could of easily gone to a more talented vocalist like Leona Lewis.

I think Bruno firsr intention was to keep it for himself, but he gave it to Adele because she would make of it a global massive hit. 
Anyway.. I need her new music ASAP!.. why is she taking so long?...

i want a collab with Adele and Disclosure. I don't want sad little ballads anymore, it too safe to predict she'll release something like that after her divorce but i want her to have fun, shes ******* hilarious. I don't want a ballad as a lead single.
