While fans are eagerly waiting for Adele to finally launch her new album, a new reports revealed that she has actually been working with famous music producer Danger Mouse, whose real name is Brian Burton.
"Danger Mouse has been working with Adele on her hotly anticipated third studio album," Billboard reported. "Whether his production handiwork makes it onto the project remains to be seen. A rep for the producer insists the ink's not dry on 30th Century, but a Sony insider says it's being kept under the radar."
And while Adele's new album seems to be in its final stages, Mirror reported that the "Skyfall" singer is actually preparing for a surprise release that will happen soon.
"It was complete but she was worried it wouldn't be as good as '21' and went back into the studio a few times," a source reportedly explained. "She wanted to release it as a surprise like Beyonce quite a few months ago but it wasn't ready.
"She decided to re-write some of the material but it's now done and will hopefully be released later this year."
The Daily Star added that Adele's team has already planned out the surprise release for the new album.
"The plan is to release internationally on iTunes as a complete surprise without any previous promotion or build-up publicity campaign," the source reportedly said. "The shock tactics worked amazingly well for Beyoncé and the feeling is Adele's new album is so widely anticipated it doesn't need a long promotional build-up."
Apparently, Scottish singer Emeli Sande has backed out from releasing her new album next month, a clear indication that Adele is going to launch hers instead, New Magazine reported.
"They can't go against each other," Naughty Boy reportedly claimed recently. "Nobody wants to. Adele's album is coming in September and labels have cleared their schedules because they know it's going to wipe the floor. Emeli's album is coming out next year now. It sounds amazing."
