Unreleased Adele tracks are leaving fans wanting more!

Two unreleased tracks recorded in 2010 have been leaked and Adele‘s diehard fans are going wild!

‘You’ll Never See Me Again’ is one of three tracks produced by Grammy winning music producer/songwriter/mixer Fraser T. Smith, who also produced ‘Set Fire To The Rain’ which made it onto the “21” album. The third track, ‘Never Gonna Leave You” was also scrapped.

Based in London, Fraser has worked with a diverse group of artists, including Adele, CeeLo Green, Ellie Goulding, Birdy, Sam Smith, Example, Rita Ora and Britney Spears to name a few.

Was this leaked to get us pumped up for Adele’s upcoming album? We are already excited, let’s have it! Will we get to hear these selected tracks in their entirety on the new album? Or ever? Although we have been gifted the downloads, out of respect for Adele, they will not be posted here or on our pages, sorry guys!

Lady Gaga nominates Adele in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge!

Lady Gaga has nominated Adele from her Instagram for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Unless you are living under a rock, by now you would have heard that this viral sensation is a challenge which raises money for Lou Gehrig’s disease and the numbers are soaring for the charity! And it’s fun! 🙂

Gaga also tweeted out the same request, asking other rich folk to accept her challenge.

According to their website, as of today, Monday, August 18, the ALS Association has received $15.6 million in donations compared to $1.8 million during the same time period last year (July 29 to August 18). These donations have come from existing donors and 307,598 new donors to The Association.

Watch Gaga do her part in her Instagram vid below – now the real question – will Adele accept this challenge?
