Adele on the covers of May 2013 Elle US for their Women in Music Issue, which also features Alicia Keys and Rita Ora. The Golden Globe, Academy Award and Grammy winner was shot by Thomas Whiteside at L.A.’s East West studios.
And the ‘Someone Like You’ singer without any command directly sang Happy Birthday song for Thomas, the photographer, who happened at the time it was his birthday. Thomas described as the “best present ever!”
On the shooting set, Alicia brought her two-years-old son, Egypt and played with him constantly, according to Doug Inglis, the photographer of the shoot.
But no sign of Adele’s son. The ‘Rolling in the Deep’ singer welcomed her first child with her boyfriend, Simon Konecki, but they haven’t confirm officially about their son’s name. Adele once said to reporters backstage in the press room while she was attending the Golden Globes in Beverly HIlls last January 13, “I am not sharing his name at the moment. It is very personal to me.”
But all the sign pointed to Angelo which according to the Sun tabloid Adele’s son is called Angelo James Konecki. “They’ve called him Angelo James. What a lovely name,” a source told The Sun. “They were supposedly mulling over John, after Adele’s grandfather, though. They wanted to keep their choice quiet until they were ready, and wearing the necklace suggests she now is. It is only a name.”
But the new mom confess about how the motherhood has changed her, “I have eczema from boiling bottles!” The motherhood also has bliss for her, “I feel a little bit kind of overexcited,” she told reporters. “It’s my first night out since I had my child and my inspiration normally comes from heart break, but I don’t think I am going to?have be devastated again.”
However, the London born star might not ready to shares a glimpse of her young son, she done a good job of shielding his face from the paps, but Adele has indue her “lovely son” her very own Oscar as the best son.
Here are some extracts from her interview on Elle.
On her third album: “I’m writing the songs now, and then I’ll want to rehearse them for a while. As much as I love my first album, there are still things that I wish I had done differently. So I don’t want to rush anything. You’re only as good as your last record, so if I put out something that’s shit, nobody’s going to buy it. If it’s crap, people will be like, “Why was she ever such a big deal?” So I have to take my time. I mean, if it takes me three years, I imagine people will start getting a bit nervy… but I’ll do my best to avoid that.”
On the high point in her career: “Winning the Grammys! To be nominated for a Grammy would have been a highlight, but winning just blew my mind.”
On the worst show she ever played: “One of my first gigs, in 2006, in a dinky little pub in East London. I didn’t realize that I was headlining: I thought I was on at 8 p.m., but it turned out that I wasn’t on until about 2 a.m. It was a Friday night, so I had invited all my friends and my family, and there were probably another 300 people there who had heard about me and come to watch me. Anyway, I got so drunk between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. I played three songs, I forgot the words, and I fell off my chair. It was a free show, thankfully. Can you imagine paying to see someone forget their own lyrics and fall off their chair? Worst thing ever. That’s why I stopped drinking”.
On her go-to party song: “When I want to party, I play “Crazy in Love.” That’s always been the song that my friends and I get ready to; or before I go on a first date, I play it to feel sexy.”
