Adele might release her highly anticipated third studio album, which is rumored to be titled "25," this September, according to fellow Brit Naughty Boy.
In an interview with The Sun, via Contactmusic.com, the English producer revealed that he has been working on Emeli Sandé's upcoming sophomore record and pushed back its release date until 2016 to avoid a clash with the "Rolling in the Deep" hitmaker's latest project.
"They can't go against each other," he said. "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," he added. "Emeli's album is coming out next year now. It sounds amazing."
Despite Naughty Boy's statement, Adele is reportedly not dropping the long-awaited effort, until she has a second child.
Daily Star previously reported the "Someone Like You" crooner delayed her album release because she wanted to go on a road trip with 2-year-old son Angelo to Nashville, Tennessee.
A source then claimed to The Mirror that fans might have to wait until this September to finally hear the follow-up to 2011's "21," as Adele wanted to make it perfect.
However, according to the latest source via Daily Star, the "Set Fire to the Rain" singer has pushed back the release yet again, since she "wants at least one more kid and is starting to get broody" with partner Simon Konecki.
"She goes through phases of being completely inspired by her third album and then just wanting to have more kids and to live a normal life," the source said. "Adele is pretty forthright in her view that if and when she gets pregnant again her career will have to fit around her family."
Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran recently insisted that Adele's new LP is "really good," having been told by their mutual pals.
''She's great, I really like her. She sent me a really nice text after the BRITs and she came down to the O2 to check out the gig and she's been really cool," he told Capital FM. ''I haven't heard [the record], but everyone I know who've worked on it is just like, 'Dude... that record!' Apparently it's really good!''
