Adele Not Feeling Pressure to Follow Up ’21’ with Another Hit Album

Adele promises new song by the end of 2012
Adele’s latest album, “21,” is still killing it on the charts, so it’s no surprise the singer is waiting a while before releasing another big album. Speaking with the French radio station NRJ, the Adele dished that she’ll have a new song out by the end of 2012, but her follow-up to “21” won’t come out for another two years.
“There’ll be a new song probably coming out at the end of the year,” Adele said, before injecting that her next full-length won’t arrive for another two years, if not longer. “I have to write another record,” she said. “If I didn’t write my own songs, I’d be out next week with a new album. But, because I write my own songs, I have to take time and live a little bit… It was a good two years before my first and second albums, so it’ll be the same this time.”
Don’t think the wait has something to do with Adele stressing about a follow-up to her massive “21.” The singer says she doesn’t feel any pressure to outdo her past success on the upcoming release. “You know, I never, ever expected the success of my first album, either, let alone now many record’s this one’s sold,” she said. “So I don’t think I’ll ever feel the pressure for my next record to be as big as the last one, because I know it’s not really possible, and what happened with this one is very rare anyway.”
