I know we have discussed this before and I have never interpreted this as Max came before WBR. IMO, the wording proves just the opposite. WBR talked to DMG, then (in the quote) the MM partnership started to form. Not vice versa. The two relationship discussions must overlap. I believe the sequence is..... End of April 2013 -- Adam and RCA agree to split. I have been unable to find out the actual separation day but I think it may be mid-June 2013. It would take some time to do the legal stuff. July 13, 2013 -- Adam announces he and RCA split. July 14, 2013 -- WBR contacts DMG about Adam. They have a relationship with DMG and they would not contact Adam directly. if they did contact Adam, he would refer them to his management. Sometime in Summer 2013 -- Adam meets with Max Martin and Shellback. They want to be EP for his album. (I think DMG probably is heavily involved in this. They have a deep relationship with Max Martin. Adam did not just call up Max.) September - October, 2013 -- DMG lays the groundwork for a deal -- with Adam + Max and Shellback on board as producers. I am guessing this but it would make Adam's contract worth a ton more and that is DMG's way of working. November 12, 2013 -- Adam says, “I’m the studio, I’m working. I’m talking to a couple of labels, big producers. Things are turning.” A couple of labels would be Warner and UMG. Because Sony was not on his list. I think the "big producers" = Max + Shellback. The deal -- Adam + Max and Shellback + WBR had to have been signed late in 2013 or very early in 2014. Probably when Adam was in NYC. February-March, 2014 -- Adam was in Sweden for his album writing camp. March 20, 2014 -- Billboard story about writing camp and the new album. Max Martin revealed but no label revealed. All in all, it is brilliant. The wording that Shirley uses to describe the calendar are: which I interpret to mean the WBR contract not until after M&S agree to EP. And I'll lay odds that while Adam may have discussed contacting M&S with UMG that this was too important to not make the first overature personally. If I was contacted by his management I'd think they might be shopping it around multiple places. He communicates directly with his fans I'd think he'd do it for this too.

I think it made sense. If I'm not mistaken the chronology was like this:
March 22, 2013: End of The We Are Family Tour in Helsinki and he's back in the US.
April - June 2013: Adam was ready to write new music for A3, meeting and conversation with RCA went nowhere.
July 08, 2013: THR article i.e. All 80's album cover.
July 12, 2013: THR article i.e. Adam parts ways with RCA.
Within 24hrs after the parts ways announcement, he got a call from Warner Music and Adam reached out to Max Martin. So I think it's possible that he didn't have music when he came to the collaborations. He may have ideas what he wants to make, but he didn't have material at that time. Adam parted with RCA in April though. It was made public in July. Isn't the April a guess though? I think the discussions went back and forth on whether the one/two punch was all pre-set or if it was real time.

Wow - that's what I call a RAVE review - one of the best I've read so far. Love it! Great review, but I didn't quite understand this part. Help??
Even with his first album "For your entertainment" presented itself Lambert, still a bit chubby and then something too hard on sexy, as a musician, Glam Rock in the new millennium can again revive even back then he gave Mercury, as well as Madonna and David Bowie as a musical influence, and the one noticed also
Here is a slightly better translation Even with his first album "For your entertainment", Lambert, still a bit chubby and trying a bit too hard to be sexy, presented himself as a musician who can resurrect Glam Rock in the new millennium. Even back then he named Mercury, as well as Madonna and David Bowie as a musical influence, and one noticed it too...

Has anyone seen a mp3 for the Munich concert? I would love to make a CD of the individual songs. Dancygeorgia...do you have mp3's of the individual songs to the concerts you attended or any of the other ones? Could you PM me information..I have yours that are no broken down into individual song. They are great but I really like to make a separate CD that I can take out some songs (the middle part of the concerts) for a separate CD. Thanks. I have to go pick up my son...BBS. So far, I have uploaded individual song audio in M4A and FLAC for Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, & Nottingham. I posted the links near the end of each concerts thread.

Can I make a CD with the M4A file because I have just made CD's with mp3's before? I don't know about M4A's. Thanks for your help.

This must have been a lot of work, and I really appreciate being able to download the individual songs. Adamrocks, I haven't tried to burn a CD from M4A files, but I've had no problem burning them from MP4s. (Not sure this info is helpful, but for what it's worth.....)

If I was contacted by his management I'd think they might be shopping it around multiple places. He communicates directly with his fans I'd think he'd do it for this too. The order IS very, very important. And this whole thing has been brilliant. Think about how much more attractive A is versus B: A: Adam Lambert November 2014: Great vocalist, songwriter, large-passionate-loyal fanbase, charismatic celebrity + current Queen frontman getting great reviews and currently partway through a world tour filling arenas + Max Martin and Shellback on board and Max Martin EP of album (he was EP of the biggest album in ages, 1989). B. Adam Lambert July 2013: Great vocalist, songwriter, large-passionate-loyal fanbase, charismatic celebrity And think how much better a contract A got vs. B would have gotten. Sure Warners would have signed B, but A is worth a lot more. >> Plus, Max is working with an artist he wants to work with vs. working for a label A&R exec like he did no FYE/WWFM and IIHY on his one day in the studio with Adam. I would bet a lot of real money that DMG contacted Max Martin and set up the meeting. (I am not saying it was their idea, but just how the process would work.) In addition, DMG has the relationship. Adam worked with Max Martin for 1 day, and met him at one event. DMG's executives have worked closely with Max Martin for years including for Katy Perry's albums. Adam would not have talked directly to any labels until very late in the process. None. DMG is run by pros and pros do not work like that. Also Adam is a very smart business person and he knows how to get things done and how to let his management do their job. Note: on Jan 15, 2015 Adam said, "The next day, Warner Bros. contacted us....."
The parallel between Adam's situation and Katy Perry's history are uncanny. When talking about Katy Perry in 2012, DMG's Marti Kirkup said... **** Note: Somewhere there is an interview from 2011 when Adam talked about working with Max Martin on WWFM and IIHY. it was around Apr 27, 2011 when Max and Dr. Luke got their 2011 ASCAP Awards from Adam and Ke$ha.
