Adele Doesn’t ‘Have Any Plans For New Music, At All’ As She Looks Forward To A ‘Big Break’

When is Adele’s next album coming? Not soon, from the looks of it.

In an interview with German outlet ZDF ( as NME notes ), Adele said, “I don’t have any plans for new music, at all. I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while.”

This isn’t especially surprising coming from Adele , given that she typically goes a long time between releasing new albums: 2021’s 30 arrived six years after its predecessor, 2015’s 25 , and 25 came after a near-5-year break following the release of 2011’s 21 .

In an interview from late 2023 , Adele was asked if she has “had time to record new music.” She responded, “I get nervous about wearing my voice out [at the residency]. It’s a lot of singing. It’s two hours. It’s all live. It’s a lot. And I f*cking motormouth and chat me ass off as well. But yeah, I have nothing to say yet. I haven’t even thought about it.”

This comes not long after Charli XCX said something similar in a recent interview: “I would like to flex my creative muscles on other areas. I don’t envisage myself making music forever. Maybe I will in some capacity, but I just feel like there are other creative areas I really want to explore.”
