how are you after the release of new eyes?

Hi Adam! I love New Eyes! Why "green color" in the video?
ADAM LAMBERT
Green represents life. (To me anyway) it represents a handful of other emotions/things too.

@sophdix
When are we going to hear more about the rest? 😋
ADAM LAMBERT
When I’m ready to put out another song. Hahah
Deborah Laumann
@deby_
What inspired you to make #NewEyes? (I'm in love with this song 😍)
ADAM LAMBERT
I wanted to create a track that had some contrast between the moody heaviness that loneliness leaves behind and the lifted euphoria of new romance.

@messymaricon
What themes/patterns from your life inspired the sound of Velvet/New Eyes?
ADAM LAMBERT
Velvet as a whole is def inspired by retro vibes but it’s not limited to one genre or tempo- there will be a strong variety as usual w all my albums. I think I just started listening to way more classic songs and fell back in love w the good old days.

@okdeku
is there a story behind new eyes?
ADAM LAMBERT
The idea is that each of the characters in the video are discovering or rediscovering a passion. Enchanted items are placed in each scene that act as a catalyst.

At the credit Joseph Lopez was “Lucy’s grandpa” is this somehow related to the song “Lucy” from TOH ????????
ADAM LAMBERT
No. Lucy is slang for what Grandpa uses to reopen his jaded eyes.

@pattihum
@adamlambert Love the production! Is the “ch” “ch.” sound during the guitar break, your voice or an instrument??
ADAM LAMBERT That’s me!!! HahHa. My voice. I kept hearing The Beatles’ Come Together production in my mind.

@velvetaml
have you picked a favorite song from the album yet? if so, is it fast or slower paced?
ADAM LAMBERT
I don’t really do favorites. Lol. I like different songs for different reasons. There’s one coming after the Queen your this summer that will make u dance - big bop.

@adamlambert How do you respond to those expressing angst about drug references in video?

Replying to @adamlambert
Your vocals have evolved since idol days; how does that happen?
ADAM LAMBERT I think with age/experience. Not every song calls for ‘look at what I can do’ vocal acrobatics. Sometimes it’s more about creating a vibe.

@a_L4life
@adamlambert Are there going to be any other music videos for the album for some songs?
😍😘
ADAM LAMBERT RYes. this whole project will be presented to you differently than how I’ve done it in the past. New team, new label etc. I’ve rejected the standard formula on how this is done.

@rockangel1960
@adamlambert Do you have a 70s song that is a guilty pleasure?
ADAM LAMBERT I don’t feel guilty about the 70s. Lol. It was a MAJOR decade for music.

@matty5130
How challenging was it to make this album different from the last?
ADAM LAMBERT I knew I wanted to go down a different path. That wasn’t hard. It was defining the sound that took a while.

@adamlambert Love the wardrobe in the music video #NewEyes Would you keeping some of them for your solo tour near future?
ADAM LAMBERT Retweeted
Yeah some of my favorite designers have been doing lots of very 70s influenced looks lately. Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Sav Noir, Tom Ford are some of the fashions I am wearing. (And will keep wearing)

@styleandchiche
@adamlambert I see influences of surrealism and baroque art in your video. Is that a theme you plan to incorporate into #VELVET ?
ADAM LAMBERT
Dreamlike and psychedelic were some of the words I was using when I conceptualized the video and photo shoot. So yes that will continue.

@aalex_he
@adamlambert Do you feel more freedom with this new project?
I mean you’ve a new team, new label and I feel you so much happier.
ADAM LAMBERT
Yes!! also because I am actively taking the pressure off of myself. Having ones music become popular is amazing. It validates. However, popularity shouldn’t determine its merit. I don’t like when music is a competitive sport. That’s not the point.

@s_back2luv
Sounds good to me! What has been the best part of making this album?

@adamlambert any surprises coming up that we should be excited about?
ADAM LAMBERT Retweeted Allie
Well if I told you, they wouldn’t be surprises.

@magsinict
@adamlambert oh honey...outside validation feels good yes; but ultimately happiness is about what you make of your experiences 😘
ADAM LAMBERT That’s just it! I’m shifting my focus inward and finding joy in the creative process, not in the mass approval.

@adamlambert You said you don't like when music is a competitive sport. Do you think the record industry has gotten any better or worse since your last album?
ADAM LAMBERT
They’re an industry. It’s a business. Don’t get me wrong- I respect the players, but the game can overshadow the art in some cases. That’s when I get frustrated.

Were you jumping for joy this morning with so much positive feedback this morning? #NewEyes

Looove when the chorus kicks in. That big low note. I thought you had horns playing.
ADAM LAMBERT
Interesting! this track is mainly live instrumentation. The big downbeat chord is a mix of Bass, Guitar, and Keys. The chorus vocals are 3 of me (for width) singing the melody in breathy falsetto and Paris (co-writer) a harmony above.

@lambertsvelvet
did your parents like #NewEyes?
ADAM LAMBERT
Yes! Dad said it reminded him of John Lennon’s solo stuff which from him is a MAJOR compliment.

@adamlambert Sooo the first album has three words, second has one word, third has three words, fourth has one word. Was it planned?

Certainly not planned. Lol.

@adamlambert did you know right away that #NewEyes would be the lead single?
ADAM LAMBERT
No. In fact, some will say there are other songs that are more obvious ‘hits’. But I trusted my gut in wanting to first put out a romantic song that best summed up where i was at this moment in time. in love.

what do you think about Taylor's reaction to new eyes?

@adamlambert i kind of love that the industry doesn’t have “rules” right now and that there is more choice in how artists want to present their music to the masses 🖤
ADAM LAMBERT
I completely agree. It’s actually a very liberating period.

@adamlambert I thought Feel Something was the first single. Is it part of the new album?
ADAM LAMBERT Retweeted Denny K. Schuldt
It wasn’t a single in terms of music video, promotion etc. it was a sneak preview
n d @mesmoreyes
@adamlambert do you feel this album will be more or less eclectic then your previous ones, or is velvet like a cohesive mini (musical) series almost telling a story or revealing a journey?
ADAM LAMBERT
I think it’s the most cohesive album of mine yet. Also executive produced by me and every track is co-written by me. This is the album I always wanted to make.
ADAM LAMBERT
Ok guys!!! Thank u for the great questions!!!! Love ya! Tune into Idol Sunday night!
Adam on Idol Finale!
He will perform “New Eyes” and a duet of BoRhap!!

Sunday’s American Idol grand finale is shaping up to be exactly that — grand! The episode will be an enormous super-concert, featuring performances from past Idol winner Carrie Underwood, former contestant (and current Queen frontman!) Adam Lambert, as well as judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and many more.
The finale of ABC’s American Idol, hosted by Ryan Seacrest, airs live coast to coast, Sunday at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, with the winner announced at the end of the episode.
See the first round of performers below:

Adam Lambert takes a sultry, Seventies-styled trip in his "New Eyes" video. See it below rol.st/2VFT6FH
See Adam Lambert Take a Sultry Seventies-Styled Trip in ‘New Eyes’ Video
Magical potions and mysterious gazes populate new Velvet single clip
Adam Lambert mines a retro Seventies vibe in his new video for “New Eyes.” The song will appear on his forthcoming fourth album Velvet, which doesn’t have a release date yet but will be available through independent label Empire.
In the new Miles & AJ-directed clip, Lambert hangs out and performs in a club, while a number of stories unfold that are fueled by trippy, mysterious green glowing potions. A couple becomes intoxicated by an amorous perfume that leads to a passionate kiss, another drops a neon-lit tablet onto their tongue and a glowing vinyl record also seems to wield mystical powers, all of which seem to open them to new possibilities./
Lambert’s sultry vocals reach falsetto heights as he sings about being taken by the romantic spell of someone’s mysterious gaze and the chemistry between them. “I really wasn’t seeing all the things I should see/Damn, I was getting jaded ’til the day you looked at me,” he croons. “You got those new eyes, honey/Virgin-like blue skies sunny/Everything that you try/Everything gets you high, baby.” The video ends with a teaser that the story is “to be continued.”
“I wanted my first single to reflect my current state of mind and to bring listeners into a romantic, earthy vibe,” the singer said in a statement. “‘New Eyes’ is a love letter to innocence and to finding new passions.”
Lambert, Paris Carney and Jamie Sierota wrote the Sierota-produced “New Eyes,” which follows the release of Velvet track “Feel Something.“
