Fans who pre-order from the store will also have first access to exclusive album configurations and upgrades.
Lambert describes TRESPASSING, which he executive produced as "an exciting journey through the past two years of my life. It's been a transformative period and I really wanted to make music from what I've experienced. All these songs honestly explore the ups and downs of my reality."
In addition to co-writing many of the tracks, Lambert collaborated with an all star list of award winning artists, producers and songwriters including Pharrell Williams, Dr. Luke, Claude Kelly, Benny Blanco, Bonnie McKee, Nile Rogers, Sam Sparro, Bruno Mars, Nikka Costa and BC Jean.
Since the release of Lambert’s debut album For Your Entertainment in 2009 it has sold over 1 million copies worldwide.

Adam Lambert's Sophomore Album, 'Trespassing,' Will Be Amazing. Here's Why

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.
Pharrell Williams Says Adam Lambert “Has a Voice Like a Siren”

American Idol alum Adam Lambert keeps the delightful sonic surprises coming — first with his controversial 2009 AMAs performance, and now with his collaboration with Neptunes producer Pharrell Williams. Pharrell is working with Glambert on his second album, Trespassing, due out in early 2012. The album also features the handiwork of hit master Dr. Luke and pop stars Britney Spears and Katy Perry.
In a recent Rolling Stone interview, the two musicians gush about each other. "This kid has a voice like a siren — there's no guys singing in that Steve Winwood- Peter Cetera range," Pharrell says about Adam’s vocal range.
Adam Lambert fans are celebrating an embarrassment of riches this weekend as the American Idol alum promised and dutifully revealed the title of his long awaited second album and its first single.
It all went down on Twitter: Trespassing is the name of the full-length (a song of the same name, which Lambert worked on with Pharrell Williams, is also on the album) and the first single, co-written by Dr. Luke (Britney Spears, Ke$ha, Kelly Clarkson) with Claude Kelly (Bruno Mars’ “Grenade,” Jessie J’s “Price Tag”), Ammo (Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream”) and Cirkut (Rihanna’s “You Da One”), is called “Better Than I Know Myself.”
Minutes after posting the tweet to his 1.2 million followers, the hash tag #BETTERTHANIKNOWMYSELF was trending on the social media site.
Other writers and musicians who worked on the album include songwriters Ryan Tedder and Evan Bogart and Chic founder and veteran producer Nile Rodgers, although it has yet to be revealed which songs made the final track listing.
As for a release date, Lambert announced only that it would be “dropping” in 2012. Back in September, RCA Records CEO Peter Edge and president Tom Corson told the Hollywood Reporter that the album would be out in the first quarter, which ends March 30.
