#Tyler, The Creator and Skepta are on the new Adele album

All signs — all billboards, in fact — are pointing to the fact that Adele’s new album 30, the long-awaited follow-up to her blockbuster 2015 record 25, will be released some time before the end of the year. We’ve already heard a teaser for the new single “Easy On Me”, which is set to drop soon, and now Adele has revealed a lot more about the record in two concurrent cover stories for American and British Vogue.

Much of the information divulged in the interviews is standard pre-album fare — the album is emotional, it’s a Saturn’s Return album, and so on — but one particularly juicy tid-bit from the American interview, by Abby Aguirre, is that Tyler, The Creator and Skepta, Adele’s maybe-ex, appear on the album. They’re not rapping, exactly — Adele was inspired to include voice memos from her friends and loved ones on the album, and Tyler and Skepta were enlisted for the task. “I thought it might be a nice touch,” she told Aguirre, “Seeing as everyone’s been at my door for the last 10 years, as a fan, to be like, Would you like to come in?” It’s sad news for anyone hoping Adele would be releasing a rap album, but exciting news for everyone else. 30 is expected some time before the end of the year; read the British Vogue feature here, and the American feature here.
