Adele Talks About Her Divorce With Simon Konecki: 'Went To Hell And Back' [Watch]
Adele opened up about the difficult phase in her life after getting a divorce from her ex-husband Simon Konecki, earlier this year.
She noted that it was her new music album, titled "30" that saved her.
"It was like it really helped me, this album," Adele told Apple Music's Zane Lowe Wednesday. "I really do believe, and I'm not being arrogant or anything like that here, it's just like, it was my hell. But I really went to hell and back."
Adele, 33, talked about the realization how she didn't like who she was before her divorce. The decision to split with her husband was made considering what's best for her 9-year-old son Angelo, the singer said.
"I think I just really got, like most other human beings, especially of my age, really just got into that thing of just going through the motions," she explained. "Like, I've got to get over there and wasn't opening my eyes and seeing what was actually happening at the time and enjoying the world around me and stuff like that."
Apple Music shared a glimpse of the interview on Twitter Wednesday.
According to the singer, her new album is not just for her own mental health but she also believes that it can save her fans too -- if they are suffering from anything in life.
"I really think that some of the songs on this album could really help people," Adele noted. "Really change people's lives. And I think a song like 'Hold On' could actually save a few lives. I really, really do."
While this album is very close to the singer, she disclosed that at one point she had thought of never releasing the album and instead was considering writing something else.
Music is her therapy, she further added. Adele also raised a question -- if everyone makes music for platforms like TikTok, then who will make music for the generation she belongs to.
"Who's making the music for my peers? I will do that job, gladly," she added. "I'd rather cater to people that are on my level in terms of the amount of time we've spent on earth and all the things we've been through."
Moreover, she noted that her music is not for 12-year-olds nor does she encourage them to listen to her songs as they are "too deep" for them. However, she motivated people in their 30s and 40s to listen to her music, especially if they are doing therapy.
"I'm more concerned with how this record can help them," she added.
The singer also explained that her approach toward making new music is never like, "I need to another hit" instead, she focuses on making something unique.
Adele's new album “30” is slated to release Friday.
