Adam Lambert's Sophomore Album, 'Trespassing,' Will Be Amazing. Here's Why.
Posted 40 minutes ago by Sam Lansky in Celebrity, Music
Oh, hey there! I'm Sam Lansky, and this is Pop Think where I write about political unrest in developing nations and subtextual themes in the short fiction of Anton Chekhov. LOLOL, just playin'! We're talkin' 'bout pop music, y'all, which is actually the most important thing in the history of ever.
This week is officially (i.e., not officially) Adam Lambert appreciation week, because I've declared it so! Also, because anticipation is running high for the Idol alum's happening-any-day-now comeback single, "Better Than I Know Myself," and sophomore album, Trespassing.
But seriously, Glambert is back in business, and this is a very good thing. So don't trip off the glitz that he's gonna display -- sit back and listen, because that Lambert reign is just kicking off.
Since rising to fame as a contestant on the eighth season of "American Idol," Adam Lambert has enjoyed a level of fame that most Idol alumni only dream of: His debut album, For Your Entertainment, debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200, and his Pink-penned single "Whataya Want from Me" cracked the Top 10 and earned him a Grammy nomination. With writing credits from A-list stars 'n scribes like Dr. Luke, Lady Gaga, and Ryan Tedder on his first album, it's no wonder that Glambert's record got so much attention.
That album, though, probably deserved even more praise than it received; releases from Idol vets aren't always as sophisticated and, well, entertaining as For Your Entertainment was, from its ironic '80s glam-queen cover art down to the crunchy pop hooks that comprised its many stellar songs. But Adam's promotion of the album was fearless and ferocious, with controversial performances and his always-glamorous image giving a spectacular visual counterpart to the already-impressive sonic onslaught.
This makes news of his upcoming album all the more exciting, given his track record for pop excellence. For lead single "Better Than I Know Myself," Adam's teamed up again with Dr. Luke and Claude Kelly, who helmed the title track from For Your Entertainment together as well as little ditties you might've heard like Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A.," Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You," and Britney Spears' "Circus." My sources tell me that "Better Than I Know Myself" is a piece of flaw-free radio candy, a stunning midtempo with a powerhouse chorus that's like a pumped-up "Whataya Want From Me," and it should cement Adam's place in the pop A-list.
But more than that, Adam's also worked with some other top industry hit makers on Trespassing, the sound of which he described as "existential pop" (squee!), saying that it has "a thread of honesty in that it's real and personal" (double squee!). The title track was produced with Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes, who also helmed one more track on the album. Other collaborators include the consistently amazing Sia, who cut several tracks with Christina Aguilera on her last album and Evan "Kidd" Bogart ("Halo" by Beyonce, anyone?).
The best news of all, though, as far as I'm concerned, is that Trespassing will bear the mark of my #1 music industry crush Bonnie McKee (who I recently spoke with about Katy Perry's album), the gloriously talented popsmith du jour responsible for Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" (among many epic hits). On the red carpet of the BMI Awards, Bonnie said, " Adam has the biggest range [of any singer] I've ever worked with, so I can write big melodies and he can really deliver on them." Dude -- when Bonnie McKee says "big melodies," you know she means business.
Adam's transparency about his personal life makes him an important role model, and in an era where divas dominate on the radio (and pop's last bastion of male superstardom, Justin Timberlake, is off chasing thespian dreams and ignoring our suggestions to reunite with *NSYNC),
we need a dude like Glambert to bring dignity back to the male pop star. And with this new era, Adam should be bringing it hard. After all, he's doing it for our entertainment.

Glamazon you sure about it coming out tomorrow? Adam said details from the single would be out soon but he didn't refer to the single itself.
Also from less than an hour ago:
adamlambert Adam Lambert
I'm my OWN frontman.  maybe an special occasion guest, sure, but #Trespassing is my next big obsession.
I'm kind of relieved he's not touring with them.

NEW** Adam Lambert
SOOOOO. Jason and I heard it FIRST. Adam Lamberts new single "Better Than I Know Myself" and its FIRE. It totally brings it back to vintage Lambert and reminds me of his original and amazing hit "Whataya Want From Me" but has that new, fresh feel to it. And, I mean...isnt that what we want from our favorite artists? Keep it classy but fresh all at once? Welp, he succeeded.
The lyrics and melody is great,you can sing along to it, feel the energy and sultry vibe to the song.
He has such passion in all of his music and this just seriously exceeds expectations. We cant post the audio just yet, but the second we can you guys will hear it!!!!
So, Lambert fans.....Keep eyes and ears open for this one. You wont be disappointed.
xoxo

Glam girl it's coming SOON
Alot or radio execs are saying we're gonna DEFINITELY know by tommorow. And I'm GLAD Adam isn't doing the Queen band, I wouldn't want him to face the criticism of him being a "cover artist" anymore.

Adam Lambert is His Own Frontman!
Renee Snyder
December 8, 2011 -
With all the hoopla in the media lately about the possibility of Adam Lambert being the new frontman for Queen, he finally felt it time to set the record straight. Rumors began about Adam becoming the lead singer for the band when Queen’s drummer Roger Taylor commented to Billboard earlier this week about Adam. He said “We would like to work with him again. There's nothing signed just yet but we're talking about live dates. It could be very exciting.” The media ran with it and within a couple of days there were more than 50 articles about the possibility of Adam joining Queen.
However, Adam has cleared up the situation, tweeting on Thursday, “I'm my OWN frontman. maybe an special occasion guest, sure, but #Trespassing is my next big obsession. By special guest, he is probably referring to his recent performance with Queen at the MTV European Music Awards. And who knows, maybe he will do a show with them again in the future. But as Adam stated, his number one priority right now is his sophomore album, Trespassing. The album is expected to release in the spring, with the single possibly coming out soon. Adam tweeted on Tuesday, “Details on single coming any day now... I'm getting so excited!!!” Hopefully the news will be sooner, rather than later, as fans are going crazy with anticipation!
