Q: What is your full name?
Adele : Adele Laurie Blue Adkins
Q: How do you become so famous?
Adele: I became famous when My friend putting my demo on Myspace. I was offered a record deal by XL recordings and I accepted it. My publicity boosted when appeared on Saturday Night Live
Q: How did youprepare for recording the new album?
Adele : To start with I was doing a lot of hopping from one studio to the next and trying to find somewhere that had a good vibe. I also met up with a lot of producers and writers and musicians and hung with them out a little bit. I always like to hang out with people for a while before I work with them because it someone’s got a shitty sense of humour – nomatter who they are or how good they are – I can’t sit in a room for seven hours with them if they don’t get my jokes.
Q: Were you surprised at how well your first album, 19, did?
Adele : I really was. I thought it was just going to be a London or UK based album, I didn’t expect it to spread to so many places. I thought it would just be my friends and family buying it so I wasn’t expecting it tosell thousands of copies at all. I was hoping for a thousand. I personally didn’t have any expectations as such, but it surpassed anything my record company XL expected it to do. Obviously they believe in me because they signed me, but I don’t think they thought 19 would propel the way it did. It was really bizarre and surreal.

Q: What were you doing work wise before you released the album?Adele : I spent three years as a support act for people like Jack Penate and Jamie T and some alternative things, like some amazing American soul artists like Amos Lee and Raul Midon. Then suddenly it was like I’d popped out of my mum’s fanny singing Chasing Pavements. Then the Critic’s Choice and the BBC Sound and all that kind of stuff happened. All of us had been so in control of what I’d been...
