New Adele Album Anticipation, World Cup Analysis, and Madonna’s Survival

Annie and Nick discuss rumours of Adele returning to music, after she was seen attending one of Lola Young’s London shows. What might a new Adele album sound like? And what is it about her that means any record is guaranteed to be brilliant?

Elsewhere, Madonna has revealed why the planned biopic of her life was canned, James Blake has called out the growing fakery of the music industry, and Bad Bunny is coming to London.

Plus, why can’t Annie and Nick remember if they’ve met Solange?
