What’s the craziest thing you witnessed on the Glam Nation Tour with Adam Lambert?
Oh my god. Do you have two weeks? What didn’t I see?! Probably the funniest thing from that tour was this thing Adam coined called “tongue diving” where he’d be on stage and pick out a cute guy or girl int he crowd, and start making out with them. That whole tour was crazy and so fun and it was just an amazing year. I was on the road with him for a year. I don’t think people realize how hilarious Adam Lambert is. Like, I think people see him as this serious, brooding musician but in reality, he could be a comedian – for real. We’d be in a different city in the US and Europe every day and we just had so much fun. I’m working with him now on his new record – I wrote one song and I’m producing another. I just love him – he’s like a brother to me, really.
What can you tell us about Adam’s new album?
Well, I wrote this song I love called “Dreamer” a few years ago and had been looking for a huge, powerful voice to sing it. Originally Christina Aguilera was supposed to sing it, but that didn’t happen so when I started thinking of songs for Adam it was just like “of course!” It’s perfect for him. I co-produced it with Brad Thomas Ackley who worked on Black & Blue and Nocturnes with us and and, even if it doesn’t make his final album I’m just like, oh my god! To have someone with that caliber voice and hear them do little tricks on on a song you wrote.. I REALLY hope it makes his album, it just sounds so amazing. He’s working with these big, huge producers like Pharrell, and then it’s like… us *laughing*.
Adam Lambert is a teaser. Since debuting Outlaws of Love at a concert in Quebec, Glamberts have been hungry for new material from the outspoken star.
The 29-year-old singer-songwriter felt generous over the weekend and tweeted three different lyrics from his upcoming sophomore album. Here’s a taste of what to expect:
“I’m swingin off of my hinges, I’m cocked and I’m ready to go”
“all along, I tried to pretend it didn’t matter if I was alone…”
“lost inside communication breakdown, better just read my lips. Comin’ in clearer when we get down. iceberg. Just the tip”
Adam is one of the sincerest celebrity I’ve ever met and I’m mega-amped about his new record which is #2 on New York Magazine’s “Vulture’s Anticipation Index.” While, I’m looking forward to ‘Urbanambert” – I hope he doesn’t abandon the RAWK tracks I lurveeeee so much by him!
Can’t wait to hear the upcoming lead single!
Adam’s new album, the follow-up to his 2009 debut, For Your Entertainment, is currently scheduled to drop in early 2012.
What are some common characteristics of Glamberts?
There’s really nothing ‘common’ about us. However, our ability and desire to raise money and awareness for charities and causes that Adam has inspired us to support is something that we all have in common. That is such a huge focus of this fandom –- making this world a better place. Last Friday was a very special day for Adam and his fans. Through the sale of Adam’s Penny Royal Peace Pendant to support the Trevor Project, we reached the milestone of over 1 million dollars raised for charity by Adam and his fans!
Adam’s fans love and respect him for the artist he is and for his art, but also for the person he is. Adam Lambert — well, he’s just a good person — an all around good guy. Adam has inspired his fans to be actively proactive and to help others. And he’s very intelligent, honest and really, really funny and very, very handsome. And Adam is tall…
