Producer Paul Epworth has said the new Adele album "will come when it's ready"

The award-winning music aficionado - whose work with Adele helped him net four Grammys - remained tight-lipped however on any further information telling Billboard that her third album is still a bit of an enigma: "I've got nothing" he told the US publication, "I've got no clues".

In November it was rumoured that Adele has possibly recruited Damon Albarn to work on the new material, with the pair seen heading into the studio together in West London. Other rumoured collaborators include UK producers Kid Harpoon (Florence & The Machine), James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco) and super ballad hit-maker Diane Warren.

The record will be Adele's first since 2011's '21' and her first new material since 2012's 'Skyfall', her soundtrack to the James Bond film of the same name.
