Adele has reportedly returned to the recording studio to record the follow-up to her hugely successful 21 album.
The singer has reportedly been writing tracks during her pregnancy, and since the birth of her first child in October 2012. Now, sources close to the star have revealed she is back in the recording studio - working on an album that is likely to be titled 24.
"Adele is making a start on another album after going off the radar since giving birth," says a source to Heat magazine.
"Even though she's been busy enjoying family life with Simon [Konecki] and the baby, she's also been writing during her time off.
"She arrived at the studio ready to start working hard straight away. The album could even be released later this year."
Will Adele make her live comeback at the 2013 Oscars ceremony?
Fans of the 'Someone Like You' star are hoping recent rumours of a performance from the London soul star at the 2013 Oscars ceremony are true, as Adele is tipped to perform as part of a planned James Bond tribute.
She is expected to perform her 2012 hit 'Skyfall', taken from the Daniel Craig movie of the same name.
