ADELE have revealed that she is halfway through writing material for her second album.
The singer said she was "almost halfway there" and had five songs for the as-yet-untitled follow-up to her 2008 debut, 19, expected to be released next year.
And she said the inspiration for the new album was just the same as the last - men.
Speaking at the Glamour magazine awards in London she said: "Boys, I've still got the same problems. They get worse because I'm away all the time. It gets a bit harder.
"The littlest things I can write about, it doesn't have to be some drama. The littlest things about not putting a cup in the dishwasher. I can write a song about that as well."
The 21-year-old Grammy award winner also admitted she is going to avoid playing at any of this summer's festivals.
She said: "I'm not really up for festivals this year. I just want to go home and chill out, maybe go and lie on a beach somewhere."
