Adam Lambert has announced details of his new album and shared its lead single ‘EAT U ALIVE’.
‘ADAM’ is the sixth solo LP from the ‘American Idol’ star and is set for release on July 10 on his own label and distributed via The Orchard, with the album billed as his most personal work to date.
Clocking in at 12 songs, the record takes inspiration from the artists that influenced the ‘Whataya Want From Me’ hitmaker in the late ’90s and early ’00s.
Speaking about the lead single, he calls the track “the perfect primer into my next musical chapter,” before teasing that the remainder of the album fits “into a world reminiscent of the music that made a formative impact on me in the 90s and early 00’s”.
“Nine Inch Nails, Björk, Prince, Muse, Goldfrapp, Daft Punk, George Michael, Massive Attack and The Crystal Method are just a few who inspired the sound,” he elaborates.
“The album explores both the light and shade of life and the razor’s edge that separates a positive experience from a negative one.”
Lambert adds: “I hope these songs connect with anyone who has been through the confusing but necessary process of self-acceptance. There was a real liberation in acknowledging my own weaknesses and strengths.”
‘ADAM’ is released on July 10 and available to pre-order from Amazon, HMV, Rough Trade, Townsend and more. Listen to ‘EAT U ALIVE’ below.
