Different direction in sound and production

Good.

I really liked Katie Melua's album with him, I still listen to it 3 years on. I was disappointed that she went back down the Mike Batt route, but I guess she likes to stick with her original audience and fair play for that.

I already like Adele (I wasn't keen on KM before The House), so I think this ought to be superb.

If anything is going to outdo 'Set Fire To The Rain', which has become one of my favourite songs of all time, then this ought to be it.

Could be interesting...

A brave move from Adele, as I was worried she would go and do another album of sad emotional songs again, but Wiz Khalifa gives me a different impression.

I am glad she is trying this, and I hope it works well for her.

I'm so happy that Adele is pulling away from those sad ballads.
William Orbit produced Madonna's "Ray Of Light" album.

People will certainly be shocked when they hear Adele's new stuff. Haters think that Adele can only do ballads.

I'm quite excited to hear this. It will hopefully be a good move for Adele to try something different and not get put in a box.

Good on her for this. One can only imagine the pressure she will have been getting from the record company to release '21 mk2'. But she's clearly a very strong character as there being no '21' re-release shows.

I am excited, I disliked her first two albums but this could be a whole new level of awesome, Orbit has worked wonders for certain artists.

This sounds interesting. She might be moving away from sad ballads after all.

terrible idea

hyperballads!!!

Really? I thought taking risks and being unafraid to try new things was what music was all about
