Adele To Make Country And Bluegrass Inspired Third Album

Adele has revealed that she wants to make a third album with a strong country and bluegrass influence.

The London singer, who released her chart-topping second album '21' at the start of this year, said she wants to spend more time in America to learn about country music.

''I was exposed to a lot of country, rockabilly and bluegrass because I was touring for such a long time,'' Adele told The Sun.

She added: "The melodies and to-the-point lyrics I have found in a lot of American styles of music is definitely something I'm going be pursuing heavily from now on. I want to spend some time in Austin in Texas and Nashville, Tennessee, and learn about it."

Meanwhile, Adele's '21' has recently been nominated for this year's Mercury Prize award, along with Katy B, Elbow, Tinie Tempah, James Blake, PJ Harvey, Anna Calvi and Metronomy and others.
