Adele reveals the ‘real reason’ why she’s only released four albums

 

says there’s a reason why she’s only released four albums, and it’s not what you may think.

While accepting the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award on Thursday at the Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment event, Adele admitted on stage that she feels “a little bit out of my depth” receiving the award considering she’s only released four albums in her 17-year career.

“It feels like I only really just arrived,” she said.

Following the success of her 2008 debut album “19,” she went on to release “21” in 2011, “25” in 2015 and “30” in 2021.

During her speech Thursday, Adele said that she sometimes wonders “if people think I’m calculated when I disappear for years on end” between albums, or that she’s “elusive” and believes “less is more.”

The “real reason” she’s only released four albums to date is based on a decision that she made after she “fell pregnant” at the height of her hugely popular 2011 album “21,” which she said many would’ve considered “career suicide.”
