It's not only photos, videos and films the entertainment industry should be concerned of getting leaked online. On Monday, two tracks purportedly for Adele's highly-anticipated upcoming album has been circulating online.
According to Digital Spy, the tracks titled "You'll Never See Me Again" and "Never Gonna Leave You" made their appearances online since August 31st. Both of the songs were produced by Fraser T Smith in 2010 supposedly for her diamond-certified album "21." It has been believed that the songs would be included in the singer's next music offering.
Although both of the songs carry the signature sad-story lyrics the UK singer is known to write about, "You'll Never See Me Again" is more upbeat, similar to "Set Fire To The Rain."
The tracks have been scrubbed from YouTube, but you can listen to the two tracks published on MTV here.
After Adele took a long break from singing after having a child with her boyfriend/partner Simon Konecki, fans have waited with bated breath as to when the award-winning singer would be staging a comeback to the music scene. Initially, Billboard mentioned rumors of the songstress releasing an album titled "25" to be followed by a world tour. This was first sparked by the official Twitter account of he World Music Awards in July, of which the tweet read, "#adele confirms 2015 Tour After The Release Of Her New Album '25'!"
It could be recalled that Adele's albums are titled after her age at the time of release. She first released "19" in 2008, followed by "21," which was said to be the album that captured her life as a woman in her early twenties. Moreover, Adele's tweet in May has helped people speculate that she would be using "25" as her new album title.
Her tweet then read, "Bye bye 25... See you again later in the year x"
Also, the Telegraph recalled one of her interviews in 2011 when she talked about the timeline of her next album release. She said, "I'm really looking forward to some time to do nothing. I imagine I'll be 25 or 26 by the time my next record comes out, as I haven't even thought about my third record yet. I'm just gonna lay some concrete, set up home and just 'be' for a bit. I'll disappear and come back with a record when it's good enough. There will be no new music until it's good enough and until I'm ready."
Adele and the parent company of her XL Recordings label has since denied rumors. WMA has charged the tweet to a technical issue, Billboard said.
But don't worry folks. Adele is indeed working on her album, and that she and her team might just be laying down a few touches to finish it. Phil Collins has confirmed that he did write some songs with Adele, which might land on her upcoming album.
He was quoted by Rolling Stone as saying, "I've just started to work with Adele. I wasn't actually too aware...I live in a cave, but she's achieved an incredible amount. I really love her voice. I love some of this stuff she's done, too."
