Adam Lambert Enlists Nile Rodgers for New Album

Nile Rodgers is everywhere these days, from your local bookstore, where his just-released memoir, Le Freak: An Upside Down Story of Family, Disco, and Destiny, is a hot item, to the New York Times, to a New York City studio where he and Adam Lambert are finding their groove.
The two have been trading tweets for days and now comes video of the American Idol alum and the guitar great and super-producer working out a riff on a track possibly destined for Lambert’s forthcoming second album -- albeit muted so as to “protect the integrity of the song” (see clip below).
But even if we don’t know what this enthusiastic jam sounds like, one thing we can deduce is that a Rodgers-Lambert collaboration has the makings of a special pairing. After all, Rodgers has produced some of the most seminal records of the 1970s and 1980s, including Diana Ross’ Diana, Madonna’s Like A Virgin, and Let’s Dance by David Bowie, who is among Lambert’s own idols.
