Nobody rushes Adele, says US songwriter

Songwriting legend Diane Warren has hinted that Adele's new album is months away from completion as the singer has not even picked her final track listing yet.

Adele suggested her third record would be released this year but it was later revealed the follow-up to her Grammy Award-winning disc 21 will instead come out in 2015.

Adele penned a number of tracks with Warren. But the songwriter has not been told if any of their collaborations has made it onto the finished product, adding that the singer is in no rush to release the disc.

Warren tells British newspaper The Sun, "I flew to London to work on new stuff with Adele last year.

"We did some great songs but I don't know if they've made the record. I don't think anybody does... she has a mind of her own. Nobody rushes Adele or makes decisions for her, which is probably why she's a great artist. She wants to get it right."

Adele was also due to work with veteran musician Phil Collins, but their collaboration was axed following the birth of her son Angelo in 2012.
