Adele: I regret hurting people’s feelings with my lyrics
She has a new album 25 which was released on Friday and a single that is topping charts worldwide but British songstress Adele says she feels sorry for hurting people’s feelings with her lyrics.
Speaking to Graham Norton for her upcoming TV special ‘Adele at the BBC’, the Hello hitmaker said:
“I don’t want to explain too much about the meaning behind the songs on my new album 25 because I think I was too open about the material on my previous efforts 19 and 21.
She added: “Last time no one was waiting to try and work out what my songs meant and I was so open about what they were about, I hurt people’s feelings with that, a little bit, being so honest.”
CHART-TOPPING SINGER
“Being a bit more immature then than I am now, you know, ‘I don’t care, you broke my heart’ and I felt quite bad about that.
“I’ve got different things going on now, I have a family and I’m a lioness and I want to protect them, and I also want people to interpret these songs how they want to, rather than me shoving it down people’s throats. This one is about the time I punched him and then went running off down Oxford Street.”
During ‘Adele at the BBC’, the chart-topping singer performed a number of her classic tracks and some new material, as well as chatting with Graham and even showing her comedic skills in a hilarious yet touching sketch.
The 27-year-old singer also wants to be more private for the sake of her partner Simon Konecki and their three-year-old son Angelo.
