The singer shared information [last week in _i-D_ ](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/27/adele-id-interview-new-songs)and has confirmed and expanded on some of her comments about the album in [a new _Rolling Stone_ interview](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/adele-inside-her-private-life-and-triumphant-return-20151103?page=9). In _i-D_, Adele confirmed collaborations on _25_ with Bruno Mars and Danger Mouse, and has now offered details about them. Adele tells _Rolling Stone_ that her Mars-featuring song “All I Ask” started as an uptempo song but turned into an “unapologetically dramatic ballad” where she hits notes higher than ever. For “River Lea,” Danger Mouse sampled the singer’s voice and then used the vocal samples to create “choir-like keyboard chords.” Adele also embraced other modern collaborators. Singer-songwriter Tobias Jesso Jr., who [co-wrote Sia’s new single](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/24/sia-alive-adele) “Alive with Adele, helped out on the _25_ track she says is her favorite, the balled “When We Were Young.” After hearing Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble,” she recruited Max Martin and Shellback to give “Send My Love (To Your Lover)” — originally titled “We Ain’t Kids No More” — a contemporary sensibility. Adele also teamed up with some of the producers who helped her achieve previous success. Ryan Tedder, who co-wrote “Rumour Has It” and “Turning Tables,” lent an assist on “Remedy,” a song Adele says she wrote about her child and sings “for everyone that I really love.” Producer Paul Epworth, who was behind “Rolling In The Deep” — and says _25_ “was about trying to come up with the weirdest sounds \[he\] could get away with” — returned for two tracks. And Rick Rubin, who provided feedback for Adele’s previous album _21_, critiqued the first versions of her songs as too generic: “It’s not just her voice singing _any_ song that makes it special,” he told _Rolling Stone_. There’s plenty of material that didn’t make it on _25_, too. Adele opened up about her ill-fated collaboration with Blur front Damon Albarn, who said [publicly that Adele’s music was “middle of the road”](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/03/adele-blur-damon-albarn-insecure) after the two tried to record together. She also added that numerous outtakes from _25_ exist, telling _Rolling Stone_ that she chose not include songs that weren’t “f–king good enough” because “that’s where a lot of people go wrong, thinking that people will buy any old s–t from you.” [Head over to _Rolling Stone_](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/adele-inside-her-private-life-and-triumphant-return-20151103?page=9) to read more about Adele. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/03/adele-shares-more-details-about-music-25) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://ew.com)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4098443/adele-details-25-album/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4098443/adele-details-25-album/"},"headline":"Adele Shares More Details About Her New Album '25'","datePublished":"2015-11-03T18:01:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:18:43.518Z","description":"Adele discusses collaborations that influence the sound of '25' which is being released in two weeks","url":"https://time.com/4098443/adele-details-25-album/","keywords":["celebrities","Music","Pop Culture","Adele","25","nextgenerationleaders"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltce73195d8a32df01/69886ee0524fc076ccdf5439/gettyimages-138859453.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eric Renner Brown / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltce73195d8a32df01/69886ee0524fc076ccdf5439/gettyimages-138859453.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"GettyImages-138859453","caption":"performs onstage at the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards held at Staples Center on February 12, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.","creditText":"Kevin Winter—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4098443/adele-details-25-album/","name":"Adele Shares More Details About Her New Album '25'"}}]}] ```
