www.out.com/entertainment/2015/6/23/adam-lambert-original-high-august“I wanted the album to be a real snapshot of my life, my real life, my authentic life in L.A. over the past 15 years," Adam Lambert tells Out in the August cover story. "I wanted it to sound like music I listen to when I go out or when I’m at the fucking gym or in Runyon Canyon or in my car. It’s a bit of a melancholy album, you know? It’s talking about the ups and downs of life in Hollywood.”  “Six years is a while, and now I’m in a new space and time in my life, and I’m hoping that my music and my image all match where I’m at.”  “I chilled out a little bit. I don’t know if it’s just being in my 30s. When you’re younger and you’ve got a skill, you tend to show off more—you feel like you have more to prove. Over the last few years, I’ve gotten into a place where I feel a little more confident in what I do, and I don’t feel I need to prove myself as far as ‘look at all the tricks I can do.’ Now music for me is more about wanting to prove that I can feel something.”

www.out.com/entertainment/2015/6/23/adam-lambert-original-high-august “It was just the way things went down. At that time, how many mainstream music artists did we have that were out? Elton John and George Michael—and his whole coming out was tabloid fun. There hadn’t been a blueprint to follow. That was the one thing I wished I’d had: a little more guidance. There were definitely moments of frustration and pressure, but there’s been a lot of goodwill as well, a lot of support from fans and media people, and it’s balanced out. I don’t have any sort of bitterness about it.”

There’s also a point where I was working really hard to achieve a look that I was really into, and it was really fun and I wanted to stand out and be crazy and be weird and make a statement with the stuff I was wearing. I look back on some of those red carpet looks, and I’m like, What were you thinking?”

Interesting Article in this weeks Entertainment Weekly- Andy Grammar released "Honey I'm Good" LAST August- I'm hoping Ghost Town doesn't take that long to make it up the Charts. HIG is an anomaly -- a sleeper hit. "Ghost Town" is not likely to be as big, nor be around for a year -- but it appears to have a while to go. Long lasting singles are a very good thing. |

 Adam Lambert’s new album, The Original High, finds solid ground in uneasiness. BY MATTHEW BREEN JUNE 23 2015 10:00 AM EDT Photography by Jack Waterlot | Styling by Alison Brooks | Groomer: Abreea Saunder For Adam Lambert, Hollywood isn’t just a metaphor for success or disillusionment. It’s a real place — his city for the last 15 years. It was his home before he ran away with all the accolades (if not the title) on American Idol, before he debuted an album at the top of the Billboard charts, before guest starring on Glee, and before fronting a stadium-rock band that ranks among the biggest of all time. When it came time to write and record his new album, The Original High, he knew where his material would come from. “I wanted the album to be a real snapshot of my life, my real life, my authentic life in L.A. over the past 15 years,” says Lambert. “I wanted it to sound like music I listen to when I go out or when I’m at the fucking gym or in Runyon Canyon or in my car.” He pauses. “It’s a bit of a melancholy album, you know? It’s talking about the ups and downs of life in Hollywood.” If Lambert had been singing specifically about his time in the music industry, the ups would certainly include the debut of his sophomore album, Trespassing, at the number 1 spot on the Billboard 200 — a historic first for a gay artist; or being handpicked by Brian May and Roger Taylor to be heir apparent to Freddie Mercury as Queen’s frontman in a globe-trotting tour. The downs might include disappointingly little radio play for Trespassing’s singles, despite that auspicious launch. Or it might include the reaction from his then-label, RCA Records. During the downtime following the release of Trespassing, Lambert was going out, going to dinners, and hanging out with friends. And his conversations with them had a new and different purpose. He began asking friends heavy stuff: What is it that you want? Why are you in this city? What are you looking for? He says, “Most of the people that I asked weren’t able to answer it. ‘How the fuck are we supposed to know? I don’t know what I want.’ And I understood that. I was like, Exactly. What is it that we’re chasing? What is the driving force here? Is it happiness? Is it success? Is it sex? Is it love? Is it validation?” Read more |
