Oh, Gianlevi is in LA from Amsterdam and just did a IG story from the hillside in LA. Very similar background to Adam's IG story. Hmmmm. lol www.instagram.com/gianlevi/I keep seeing his name....is he one of Adam's friends? We've been joking that Adam has been liking lots of his pics lately. They started following each other back during the EU tour. Not sure if they knew each other prior to that.

Yes. It is the point but on the other side, what happens if the existing management doesn’t want their client as the artist hasn’t performed to their expectations. In other words. No sales, songs underperforming. I wish there was a clause in said case, the artist has the option to opt out I’m sure the existing management would be glad. As they have no intent in promoting that said artist. Oh well I’m just impatient having to wait another year. I want new music now. Queen is great but his music would be better imo I‘m not sure, what happens, when the artist underperforms. I guess, the label tries to find a way to make money, for instance by asking for a cover album. 😉 If a contract runs out, the artist should be free to do, what he wants??? I don‘t believe, that Adam underperformed in a way, that Warner wanted to get rid of him. I think there were creative differences. None of Adam singles or releases after Ghost Town were really successful though. „Two Fuxx“ is not really a song every label would put out. He had Max Martin as executive producer for his last album and another song from Max‘s writers‘ group with „Welcome to the Show“. Max must have been expensive for the label. But although Max is absolutely successful with most artist, it didn’t work for Adam. So another plan was needed. At this point (end of 2016?) I believe, that Warner wasn’t ready to pay for another album with Max (Adam had said, he would be working with him again until then). There had only been plans for an EP from there on. Whatever Warner was planning with Adam, he seems to have opted out, when he saw a chance. Possibly after the head of the label had changed. We will probably never know. I only hope, that Adam finds/found a new „home“, that gives him artistic freedom, good guidance and most of all great support. . I agree. TOH went platinum in Poland and Russia. Not huge markets but something. GT went gold in the US and gold/platinum/platinum plus in several countries. And it went to 17 on HAC and 20 on CHR in the US. Not a huge hit but a hit and his streaming numbers were really good. But he may want more and was looking for a change to try to get there. OT. I just watched the Amy Winehouse story on Netflix. Very sad. I knew her story without really knowing her story. Those arena shows and big awards came with a price for her. She could not find her peace.

I envy how easily Adam makes friends. I'm so not a people person, my circle is tiny...mostly my immediate family. Adam has such a huge circle of friends, and I bet they're all loyal to him, as is he.

Trespasser has uploaded Rock in Rio in 4K. If anybody has a 4K TV....it will probably be super duper. I only have a 1080 PC monitor, but I clicked on 1440 and it's great. I don't know how all this works...I think the audio is better on 1080...may be my monitor.
The audio on this is excellent. Very good Adam vocals.

I keep seeing his name....is he one of Adam's friends? We've been joking that Adam has been liking lots of his pics lately. They started following each other back during the EU tour. Not sure if they knew each other prior to that. I missed out on that joking...maybe you folks on twitter ... but I have certainly been thinking exactly that. Lots of likes by Adam...maybe we will see more in the next days.

Yeah I don't think you can say Adam underperformed with WBR. And that is why he left them. GT has amassed over 250 mill streams. It was a Top 10 Pop US Hit. Problem was the follow up. WBR failed to captilize on the momentum. Need more music like GT from Adam imo. IT just happens when you switch management and label. IT takes time to release music. Its all logistics. I expect music at least end of year. And Album next year. On what chart was GT a Top 10 Pop US Hit? I am not seeing it on Billboard.
