British singer Adele, who has been ruling the pop charts both in the UK and here in the US with her fantastic new album 21, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine … where she belongs. Last month we had to deal inexplicably with seeing Nicole Snooki Polizzi from MTV‘s Jersey Shore on the cover … but this time, it looks like Rolling Stone finally got their coverstar right. Check out photos and excerpts from Adele‘s RS interview below.

The new issue of Rolling Stone, on stands and in the digital archives on April 15th, features an interview with Adele in which the British soul singer discusses a defining romantic relationship, her childhood and reveals that she doesn’t worry much about her fluctuating weight. “My life is full of drama and I won’t have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like,” she tells Rolling Stone contributing editor Touré. “I don’t like going to the gym. I like eating fine foods and drinking nice wine. Even if I had a really good figure, I don’t think I’d get my tits and ass out for no one.” But Adele has no beef with other female recording artists who choose to flaunt their bodies. “I love seeing Lady Gaga’s boobs and bum,” she says. “I love seeing Katy Perry’s boobs and bum. Love it. But that’s not what my music is about. I don’t make music for eyes. I make music for ears.”

Other highlights from the story:

• Many of the songs on her hit album 21 were inspired by a break-up with her boyfriend. “He was artistic, but not romantic,” she says. “We’d just bicker over a cup of tea or the fact that my lighter wasn’t working.” Nonetheless, Adele says, “He made me an adult and put me on the road that I’m traveling on.”

• Despite the fact that she’s one of the most successful new recording artists of the past few years, Adele still has terrible stage fright. “I’m scared of audiences,” she says. “One show in Amsterdam I was so nervous I escaped out the fire exit. I’ve thrown up a couple of times. Once in Brussels I projectile vomited on someone. I just gotta bear it. But I don’t like touring. I have anxiety attacks a lot.”

• Adele says her dad was never in the picture. He recently talked to a British tabloid and said that he regretted his actions. “I never knew my dad,” she says. “He has no fuckin’ right to talk about me.”

Adele is just THE BEST. Her voice is haunting, her lyrics are powerful and her music is just … perfection. I was impressed with her debut album 19 but, man, I am CRAZY in love with her follow-up album 21. This woman is the real deal, genuine talent … she is it. It’s about time Rolling Stone featured her on the cover of their magazine. Every single person I know who has spent any time listening to Adele‘s new album has fallen desperately in love with it … here’s hoping this kind of exposure here in the US will get more people to fall in love. Believe me, y’all know I love me some Britney Spears … but that is frivolously fun pop. Adele‘s music is different, more important. I urge y’all to check out her new album 21 … I really think it’s fantastic. I am seeing Adele live in concert for the first time this Summer and I’m really looking forward to hearing her live. Any Adele fans out there? Is she not the best new artist ever?
