Rumor has it that Adele is in the works on a new album. After taking time  off to care for her new baby boy, Adele is finally back in the studio working on new music. The British singer confirmed at the Grammy’s last Sunday that she is in the early stages of creating her next album.

“I’m not very far along at all,” she revealed. “I’m having lots of meetings. I’ve been in L.A. for the whole time since the [Golden] Globes, and I will be until the Oscars. I’ve  been having lots of meetings. I’ve been out of the loop really. I’ve been singing my baby nursery rhymes, so I don’t really know what’s cool and what’s not. I’m definitely going to visit Paul Epsworth and stuff like that again.”

Adele has worked with Epsworth before on “Rolling In The Deep” and “Skyfall”, which she won a Golden Globe for. Adele is known for her heartbreaking love ballads, but now that’s she happy with fiance Simon Konecki and their baby boy, who know’s what to expect from the singer’s next project. “21” has reached diamond status and has been the top selling album for two consecutive years.

Adele will be performing “Skyfall” at the Academy Awards to air on February 28.

Sultry singer Adele is set to perform the theme song to the latest James Bond movie “Skyfall” at the Oscars, which will be her first time performing in the U.S. since last year’s Grammy Awards.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released a statement on Wednesday that said Adele will perform the Oscar-nominated song at the 85th annual Academy Awards on Feb. 24. Adele and producer Paul Epworth are also up for a nomination themselves in the best original song category for “Skyfall.”

This news doesn’t come as a surprise to many people in the industry considering Adele’s award show ubiquity. The singer who took the world by storm with her amazing voice has already won a Golden Globe for the “Skyfall” theme. The Oscars will be the first time Adele performs “Skyfall” in front of a live audience. She released a statement saying that she is absolutely honored to be singing to an audience that helped capture her imagination.

The Oscars will also present a tribute to James Bond, marking the 50th anniversary of the franchise.

Adele will make her first post baby appearance at the Golden Globes where she is nominated for original song for James Bond theme “Skyfall”.

Adele welcomed her first child, with fiance Simon Konecki, in October. The British singer has been keeping a low profile since announcing her pregnancy in June after sweeping the Grammy Awards last February with six awards. The singer was spotted on Thursday carrying her baby boy, whose name has yet to been revelaed, at LAX airport in advance of Sunday’s Golden Globes.

Adele’s single “Skyfall” will compete against Taylor Swift’s song “Safe and Sound” from Hunger Games, Jon Bon Jovi’s song”Not Running Anymore” from Stand Up Guys, Keith Urban’s track from Act of Valor, and “Suddenly” from Les Miserables, which was sung by Hugh Jackman, at the Golden Globes.

Adele has had a successful year, with her album 21 going diamond and taking the number one spot for the second year in a row with the highest album sales. The singer recently got the news that her song was nominated for an Oscar as well! “Oh my god i feel like Meryl Streep!! Thank you x,” she tweeted after finding out the news.

The Globes will be presented on Sunday, Jan 13 on NBC at 8 p.m  at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Song bird Adele gave birth to her first child Friday and she and boyfriend Simon Konecki could not be happier. It seems like just a few months ago Adele announced to the world via her blog that a baby was on the way; “I’m delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we are over the moon…” Well the wait is over the Grammy-winning singer according to People magazine who first reported the birth but the celebrity couple has so far been mum about any details on the birth and the baby. Adele and Konecki are not married and have yet to say whether they plan to wed in the future. The two met when Adele volunteered with Konecki’s charity Drop4Drop which brings clean water to developing countries. Konecki is the co-founder of the company Life Water that runs the charity. While Adele may take some time off  to play mom before heading back into the studio she did release a new track for the upcoming James Bond movie ‘Skyfall.’
