Adele on Fame, Motherhood, and Why She Never Listens to Her Own Songs“Hello,” the first single on Adele’s tour de force 2. You. Tube hits in its first 4. Erdem dress. Larkspur & Hawk ring. Photographed by Annie Leibovitz, Vogue, March 2. Adele is back and breaking hearts with her sensational third album and an upcoming world tour. Hamish Bowles talks to her about fame, family, and fabulous frocks.

On a dewy winter’s morning in Oxfordshire, the sun is fighting through rain clouds, and a phalanx of industrial heaters is being employed to warm the chilly, cavernous rooms of a poetically crumbling castle where Annie Leibovitz has decided to photograph Adele Laurie Blue Adkins as a Pre- Raphaelite damsel. It’s been six years!” exclaims Adele, who was last photographed by Leibovitz for Vogue in 2. L. A. with my boyfriend’s boxers hanging around!” as she gleefully recalls. Adele, then 2. 0, was a blissfully unprocessed girl whose incendiary talent had propelled her from the hardscrabble London projects of Tottenham and Brixton to the cusp of international stardom. At her tough inner- city high school, “my music teacher was shit. Unencouraging,” she remembers, but at fourteen she successfully auditioned for the performing- arts Brit School, singing Stevie Wonder’s “Free” and playing “Tumbledown Blues” on her clarinet. The experience was liberating.

Tony Castro, the head of the music department at the time, insisted on his students writing original songs, so Adele dutifully sat down for the first time to do so. If it wasn’t for him,” she says, “I probably wouldn’t have written ‘Hometown Glory’ and ‘Daydreamer.’ I think being a teacher is one of the most important jobs in the world. If my career stopped, it’s what I’d do.”Which Spice Girl does Adele connect with? Her vocabulary then was spangled with profanities and constantly interrupted with peals of cackling, corncrake laughter. Adele is older, wiser, and more thoughtful now, but her drollery and “dirt mouth,” as she calls it, remain keystones of her persona. Soon after she signed with XL records in 2. Jonathan Dickins, with whom she has been working ever since.

Dickins insists on bringing her into every meeting and keeps her involved in all aspects of the business. That’s why I’m not afraid,” she says. One of the things I enjoy most about my career now is that my main team is the same, so we’ve all had this experience together, which makes it really special. It can be quite lonely just getting bigger and bigger—but not when I’ve got everyone around me.”When I escorted Adele to the 2.

Grammy Awards, she was more or less ignored on the red carpet—at one point the photographers shouted at her to step aside so they could capture Kate Beckinsale in her lavishly trained black satin mermaid gown—but she electrified the power audience with her eviscerating rendition of “Chasing Pavements,” won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and beat out the Jonas Brothers for Best New Artist; she was so surprised that she came onstage barefoot, having long since kicked off her Manolos, with the belt of her custom Barbara Tfank dress undone, and chewing a mouthful of gum. It S Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 4 Episode 10. The rest, of course, is history. And after the release two years later of the wrenching 2.

Grammys on an evening where it is safe to say that she was not overlooked on the red carpet, her life changed. She had recently met Simon Konecki, an Old Etonian former investment banker with the scruffy, bearish looks of a Williamsburg hipster, who is now the CEO of Drop. Drop, providing sustainable clean water to communities around the world. Adele, who had been “singing hard every day” since she was fifteen, suffered a vocal hemorrhage and canceled most of her planned appearances to promote 2. She credits Konecki with getting her through her recovery from surgery, which included six weeks of total silence followed by slow vocal rehab.“When I met Simon, I knew that something was going to happen,” she remembers.

After the world- class losers whose bad behavior became the fodder for some of the most universally powerful songs of our time, Adele had finally found herself a winner. Their son, Angelo, was conceived, she tells me authoritatively, “the day the last Vogue cover came out!”I was just shocked that all of a sudden I was 2. Adele says. “But actually I like myself more than ever. I feel so comfortable in my own skin.

I really like how I look, I like who I am, I like everyone that I surround myself with. The two new men in Adele’s life transformed it completely. They have eradicated the need for much of the drama that she used to thrive on. I can’t have any other junk in my head to worry about as well,” she tells me. Angelo, meanwhile, “makes me very proud of myself. When I became a parent, I felt like I was truly living.

I had a purpose, where before I didn’t.”Adele took time off to be with her new family before she even thought about putting her third album together. My main thing is Mum, then it’s me, then it’s work,” she says, adding, “I think I had to take the right amount of time off to let people miss me.” (Unsurprisingly, she cites the reclusive Sade as a performer she admires, and Kate Bush, whose sixteen- year- old son persuaded her to stage a comeback tour with him after 3.

In her euphoric new mood, Adele looked to Ray of Light, her favorite Madonna record and one inspired by motherhood, and to Moby’s Play, with its powerful gospel samplings. But her new material didn’t make sense to her. I just didn’t really know what I was going on about,” she remembers. How could I ever try and fool anyone by putting the record out and expect them to get it if I didn’t get it? It seemed a bit lazy.”Dickins, who became a parent around the same time she did, was wary too.

He was watching me from a distance, making sure that I was getting my balance right,” remembers Adele. He saw how full- on it was for his girlfriend, and so he sympathized with me and gave me my space. I’ve always said you’re only as good as your next record,” she continues, “and he said that when I first met him at eighteen.”Adele, Doutzen Kroes, and Zoë Kravitz reveal their favorite body parts: Numerous songs about Angelo were put aside when she decided her fans wouldn’t be able to relate to them as she did. Angelo can actually be heard on “Sweetest Devotion,” however.) Adele felt that her relationship with Konecki was also too private to explore in her music, although “Water Under the Bridge” is about him.
