It looks like Adele's new album will be worth the long wait. Not much has been revealed about the record, which will be the British beauty's first in nearly five years, but fans know it's going to be good because Pharrell Williams is involved in it.

In an interview with Ryan Seacrest at the Cannes Lions Inyernational Festival of Creativity, Pharrell let it slip that he's been working with Adele on the follow-up to her massively successful 2012 album "21". During the chat, he also offered some insight into why it took the "Someone Like You" hitmaker so long to finish her highly-anticipated project.

"She's kinda like, 'OK, guys, I'm gonna open my diary for 20 minutes.' So it's like, OK, you have 20 minutes, or 32 minutes really," he explained. "Then she gives it to you and closes it up and disappears, and she's off with her beautiful boy - and that's what it's all about."

Pharrell went on praising the Grammy-winning star, "She is a masterful writer. You listen to her albums and the intention is living and breathes."
