Another collaborator on the forthcoming Adele album has been revealed: Damon Albarn. The Blur frontman, though, doesn't think his contributions will make the cut. "Adele asked me to work with her and I took the time out for her," Albarn told The Sun. "And I’m not a producer, so…I don’t know what is happening really. Will she use any of the stuff? I don’t think so." Albarn went on to describe the new Adele tracks he's heard as "very middle of the road." No release date for Adele's new album has yet been announced, but it's rumored that she's planning a November release. (Pitchfork)

In newly-published excerpts from her forthcoming autobiography, Grace Jones dismisses suggestions that she imitate the styles of performers like Beyoncé, Madonna, and Miley Cyrus. "I cannot be like them," writes the music icon, "except to the extent that they are already being like me." Jones also throws shade at an anonymous star who's given the pseudonym of Doris. She describes having declined suggestions to collaborate with "Doris" in the past, and writes that today, Doris is "a baby in a closet full of other people’s clothes, a little girl playing dress-up, putting on shoes that don’t fit… She looks lost, like she is desperately trying to find the person she was when she started."
