On the eve of releasing her first album in six years, Adele sat down with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe for the definitive 30 interview. The beloved megastar and Zane go way back, and Adele feels comfortable opening up about the anxiety, depression and guilt that followed her 2019 divorce, dating for the first time “as a grown-up”, the genesis of her fourth album, and much more. “This is my story and I feel like it’s me taking back my narrative,” she says of 30. “Sometimes, where it would be so bloody ridiculous, the things that they’d write, my own family and friends would be like, ‘Is it true?’ So, I felt, let me just write all my feelings down, and if I’m happy with the songs, I’ll put it out.” The album documents an extraordinarily trying period in Adele’s life—one that, she tells Zane, saw her “leave everything behind”. “My personality I took with me,” she says. “But my traits, my habits and my patterns and everything that were handed down to me, I was just like, ‘I’m all right. I don’t want it anymore.’ So thank you, therapy. That’s where you untangle all the knots until you have a clean piece of string and you get to figure out where you put your own points.” Dive into the interview now—and get to know one of music’s most compelling artists like never before.
