In a recent episode of the popular talk show, “Alan Carr: Chatty Man,” the talented Adele sat down with the host to discuss her new album, “21.” The transcript reveals an intimate and candid conversation between the two, as they delve into the inspiration behind the breakup album.
Adele‘s excitement about the release of her highly anticipated album is palpable. She admits to feeling anxious but also reveals that she couldn’t help but be brutally honest in her songs. However, she cheekily acknowledges that this honesty might come back to bite her.
The host questions Adele about the nature of “21” and whether it is truly a breakup album. Adele confirms this, explaining that it is the result of falling out of love and a relationship no longer being enjoyable. She considers this type of breakup more devastating than having something specific to blame.
But what about the man who inspired the album? Adele insists that he was not as bad as her first boyfriend, who served as the muse for her debut album, “19.” She hints at bitter feelings but also acknowledges that he was actually brilliant. Alan Carr, true to form, teasingly asks if she always has to make an album about her love life. Adele playfully responds that it’s cheaper for her, as someone else foots the bill for making the album.
The conversation takes a lighthearted turn when they discuss the titles and cover art of Adele‘s albums. Her first album, “19,” famously featured her face with artistic eyelashes. Now, with “21,” her whole face graces the cover. Alan Carr jokingly asks if these albums are like ID for pubs, to which Adele responds with laughter and applause.
Adele also reflects on her personal growth and how her relationships have influenced her music. She acknowledges that she had a very grown-up relationship and that the title “21” was the only fitting one. With humor, Alan Carr teases her about aging, and they both have a good laugh.
The conversation takes a turn towards Adele‘s skyrocketing success in America. Alan Carr points out that while Adele is already a sensation in the UK, she has also gained immense popularity across the pond. He mentions her appearances on shows like Oprah and Ellen, jokingly comparing her to an “ugly baby” version of Hannah Montana.
Adele shares that she never expected her music to resonate in the US as it did. She recalls how her appearance on Saturday Night Live, where a surprise guest turned out to be Sarah Palin, changed everything. Adele admits to being starstruck and experiencing stage fright but reveals that meeting Sarah Palin backstage was actually a pleasant experience.
The conversation takes a hilarious turn when Adele and Alan Carr discuss encounters with other celebrities. Adele confesses that she was once behind the wheel of a golf buggy on a video shoot and accidentally nearly hit P Diddy. She humorously attributes it to her motor mouth and admits to not being a great driver.
This episode of “Alan Carr: Chatty Man” showcases Adele‘s candidness, wit, and ability to connect with both the host and the audience. It is a delightful glimpse into the life and experiences of one of the world’s most beloved artists.
