Lindsey Parker of Yahoo music sat down earlier today for an interview with producer Rob Cavallo, who worked on 6 tracks for the upcoming Adam Lambert album. He also produced the 2012 soundtrack theme, “Time For Miracles”.
Finally, we’ve got some song titles. Cavallo leaks a few: “Winners”, “Music Again” and “Suburban Decay.”
Cavallo is full of praise for Adam, calling him one of the most gifted singers he’s ever recorded, in addition to being a great guy and fun to hang out with. Cavallo promises “amazing” songs, and calls the album, “a whole new thing.”
When pressed for a release date for “Time for Miracles”, Cavallo settled on October 18, but he didn’t seem entirely sure.
A glam rock, electro pop, glam robot invasion–classic rock, but with a lot of pop and dance elements to it is how Cavallo describes the album. He says his songs have the rock element, but with something new.
“Winners” — I could see this working as a catchy dance song. I suspect it’s the sort of title that sounds better with a song behind it, like TFM. It could also be a ballad… about how we’re all winners in the end… but, how about not.
“Music Again” — Hmm. What would this be? A “we’re finally hearing good quality music again on the radio” celebration? Or “DJ play that music again”? Or like a getting over a breakup song. I’m finally over him, and can hear the music again.
“Suburban Decay”– This. Could be interesting. Please be interesting and edgy, Suburban Decay.
Ooh, I’ll play. Maybe “Winners” is like “We are the Champions.”
And “Music Again” is like Madonna’s “Music” – a dance song.
“Suburban Decay” – no idea. It’s a mouthful. Maybe the emotional ballad about vulnerability. Though Adam’s been quoted several times that he doesn’t like emo lyrics (what was MW then?) so maybe it’s an anthem rock song?
I think Adam was referring to the type of “overwrought” emo lyrics. He is too sunny for overwrought lyrics.
” Maybe we need to let the public decide, even though we know who it should be.”
We are the public!!!! One of the first thoughts that crossed my brain after I mourned for MJ’s death was…”It’s OK Michael, your heir apparent has safely arrived.” “I believe you will aprove.”
So why all the hesitation? Fear of looking silly? So let the brave commit!
Putting Adams video for TFM in front of MJ’s “This Is It” show is marvelous marketing, and ,IMO, implicit agreement of a foregone conclusion!!
This is my first and ,probably, only go round as a Fan girl, as I just hope to make it through to hear his initial single and and his first album. No,
I’ll challenge myself to to see him with his first grammy nomination.!!!
That is hope on the fly.
So I don’t care what you call him, but,” HE IS THE ONE”.
Fun to see all the contributions to providing a name for his Album.
I just really hope they don’t just self title it,…that is such a bore, as they have done that for all the idols. So, lets raise the bar for Adam.
Hmm….A D A M Fraternizes with Robots
Robot Rock, Electro Pop
Lambert Landed
came to sing
Fierce
love affair with a mike
The mic, The man and The Singer
L A M B E R T Rising Up A D A M
Invasion
classic Robot POP!
OK, I give up……time to find slumber!!!!!!!!!
For his album cover and title – it will probably have something to do with his name ADAM . They might even do a take on Michaelangelo’s painting – The Creation of Adam - that fresco at the Sistine Chapel.
The Creation of Adam – might work as an Album title. They can show his metamorphosis into a glam rock star.
ITA wrt “Winners” and “Music Again” – latter definitely has a dance vibe going for it – a party, pop track, my guess – solid hooks and beats, etc.
“Suburban Decay” – my guess is edgy rock, veering into Green Day territory (which I think was brought up in the interview too). I’m guessing it won’t be a slower song, though.
“something new” LOL….my favorite over-used phrase when describing a debut album. im just hoping its has elements of pop/dance without being euro trashy. and a rock vibe thats more Emo less Bon Jovi (aka Times of Miracles).
I really get no Bon Jovi from the small snippet of TFM that I’ve heard. What Bon Jovi song would you compare the snippet to? Aerosmith, maybe. I agree, I’m waiting to hear the actual album. I thought I would be getting something new from the American Idol last year and I got the same-old, same-old. Oh well, I guess the new for me will have to be Adam’s unique voice.

This thread is about to die but just wanted to say about the ’something new’ comments: Redone said he wanted to help Adam find his sound and Cavallo said that it is Adam’s sound. How many sounds are there under the sun? Johnny Cash was said to have his own sound. I think Cindy kind of hits on it with Adam’s unique voice. That is ultimately part of the sound of an artist (right, duh?, my duh, not your duh) My guess is that he glam rock songs will have “his” sound. How long has it been since anyone has done glam rock? A while, so it could be very new to a lot of people.
