UPDATE: I’m hearing the response from 19 on this is, “We have not announced Adam’s single yet”. Take that for what you will.
DJ Brian Douglas of Cincinatti’s Q102 FM is claiming to have the skinny on Adam Lambert’s new single.
He blogs:
I spoke with Adam’s record company today and we will have a brand new song written by Pink and Max Martin. It is not the song from the “2012″ movie. As soon as I get my hands on it we will put it on the air. I was told today we will have it by Monday at the latest but sometimes these things change. I will update you here when I know more. I am excited to hear Adam’s studio work.
In a recent EW interview, Adam mentioned a song called “What Do You Want From Me” written by Pink and Max Martin.
Adam described the song, “It works on a relationship level, but I also relate to the sense of talking to the public. Like, ‘This whole thing’s a little freaked out, but please have faith in me because I won’t disappoint you.’
According to one of Pink’s fansites, the song was considered for, but not used on Pink’s Funhouse album.
The name of the single has not been confirmed by either Adam or 19/RCA.
But, with so many rumors swirling, I’m sure we’ll hear something definitive soon.
cover reminds me of Bowie!!!! what does everyone else think?
retro glam and twitter is blowing up!
WOW.. that is one beautiful album cover… it’s like ART…
yep… I love it for that reason… Adam is doing his thing…. screw trying to fit into anyone else’s idea of what he should be…
Don’t throw rocks
Very feminine
OH MY GOD HE IS BEAUTIFUL.
4Msrmyn,
It is meant to be feminine, toward androgyny, like Prince, Bowie, etc
think we may need a new thread….
That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw it – Bowie. I like it a lot.
best album cover EVER IMO from an Idol alum…
It’ll be a love it or hate it cd cover, just like Blake Lewis and his Audio Day Dream cover.
I like it but then I expect a New Wave or Ziggy Stardust feel to the music so the cover should follow suit.
It was a shock at first, too feminine, but after looking at it for awhile, it’s androgynous, very glam, and NO ONE can say that Adam isn’t being true to himself with this pic.
It’s beautiful. Good on him!
The cover is beautiful. Definately retro/Bowie. I know some people are going to hate it but I love it. This guy just always does what we don’t expect. He did say he would surprise us!
Uhh, that was … special. Weird mix of masculine and feminine… don’t really know what to think.
blow it up and really look at the details… A lot of people will say it’s too airbrushed but it’s really not… his pores are visible and the details in the makeup are visible… his eyes are AMAZING! WOW…
and yes Studio.. no one can claim he’s not being true to himself with this cover… he’s straddling the line between masculine/feminine… it’s HOT
I have to admit that I laughed when I first saw it. It reminds me of the first time I heard Adam sing RoF, just amazement and disbelief. I love it though, and I think ppl who were worried that the record execs were trying to bland out Adam should be relieved. It should definitely stand out on the shelf.
It’s not just that he stayed true to himself but this is gutsy. I have to give him major props here.
I might get in trouble for asking this question but I’m so confused.. you say you’re an adam fan but I’ve yet to see you actually LIKE anything he does. what am I missing?
Didin’t Adam say that you can’t truly be sexy until you let go of gender stereotypes? There you have it…
It’s definitely out there, but I think it’s meant to be. Certainly will grab your attention when you’re browsing in target LOL.
Now, what really matters, is what’s inside of it. I hope we get some of that music type stuff soon
At first glance, didn’t love the cover and thought Adam looked too feminine. He really is gorgeous so it’s not a stretch to get a pic like this! Picture is growing on me. I read all the posts from loving the hating it. It will get people talking…already is (as everything Adam does do), and it’s controversial..(again very Adam-ish). Adam always says he likes to push buttons, get people thinking, embrace differences and I think this has accomplished all of that. Now what will the people outside the AI bubble who don’t know him think???? Album covers don’t matter in the long run, it’s all about the music and that determines if it will sell.
I don’t think the Pink song will be the first single btw. Just a guess. WHen Lyndsey Parker was allowed to hear Adam’s songs to review, none were the Pink song. Just seems weird that the first single would not be one of the songs Parker was allowed to hear/review. JMHO!
