I am totally confused about who wrote "Ghost Town". > Warner Chappell lists some writers but does not include Sterling Fox. > It does list -- written by Max Martin, Tobias Karlsson, Erik Tobias, Ali Payami, and Brandon Lowry. Source: Warner Chappell se.warnerchappell.com/song-details/WW010474375000 The Warner Chappell registration is partial and Ali Payami is listed 2 times, there is an unknown publisher. So that could be to hide Adam? But if Adam and Sterline Fox are added that is 7 songwriters? And why keep Sterling Fox secret? Brandon Lowry is Sterling Fox's real name en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_FoxOh thanks you!! Ya'll know not to pay attention to me in the middle of the night when I sometimes sleep-post! {duh -- hits head -- wanders off to get some sleep} ETA: Just to give you a good laugh -- I actually read his Wiki page yesterday because I was not familiar with him before this. They certainly did not skimp on talent for this album!

Hm, I must've missed the post informing us about the shoot location and date as well as the magazine origin... It's inevitable that these photos won't be everybody's favourites. I like them though and they keep up the imaginary scenarios for Ghost Town. I should think that's good promo when it intrigues our minds and invites different interpretations. I think it's just fun dress-up with a dark vibe for the publication and not necessarily a look for the whole era. What the song will be like and what it talks about has not been revealed. He's clearly playing with the mystery and the song could be happy ghost dance for Halloween or heart-wrenching cry of abandonment or anything in between. There will be next snippet and next photoshoot to either perpetuate the dark ideas or turn our notions upside down. I think this launch makes a good story and I cannot wait for learning more hoping that it's the same with casual audiences too. A new twist will generate more articles and music lovers cannot escape knowing that there's new music coming. Great job! Oh, and didn't he say 'hypnotizing'? That'll seal the deal I guess.

Ha! They really *do* mean to break Adam in the UK this time !! Looks like it to me -- it seems to be a totally separate promo plan running almost parallel to the US promo. And intersecting with the US promo. Very nicely done so far. With his fame from the Q+AL tour/TV appearances, he really has a shot of making it in the UK this time. While I do not believe being associated with American Idol is a issue in the US or most other countries, being knows as an American Idol runner-up in the UK seems to have been a real barrier. The UK produces so many reality TV singing stars of their own, they really do not need "imported" reality TV singing starlets. And they have so many American artists on the UK charts that US artists have to fight each other to get airplay there. So American + Idol is really not a plus there. Being a great frontman for Queen -- that is a whole nother story! That = credibility. Q+AL give Adam the kind of credibility in the UK (and other places) that is almost impossible to acquire. And the huge exposure of the NYE concert certainly was unbeatable.

I will always drink the Kool-Aid....sometimes taking little sips and sometimes guzzling the whole glass. I like all Adam photos....love some more than others. I totally respect those who don't like these latest ones much or at all. These really professional magazine type spreads tend to be "different" to how some of us might like him portrayed.....but they're interesting, sexy and artistic IMO. Remembering The Details shoot, Flaunt and Mike Ruiz (I barely could swallow the kool-aid on that one...lol), etc., these latest images are just another photographer's take on Adam. There will be many more interpretations to come and that fascinates me. Can you imagine stanning a guy who is predictable and one dimensional? NO way. JMHO, etc. I love it that 'edgy magazines' want to do photoshoots with Adam and I enjoy seeing Adam take on different looks....it fascinates me. I don't always appreciate some of the pics but I look at it all as "art".LOL I respect that everyone has a different taste and might not like some of the photographers' ideas that do a shoot with Adam. It's all good with me because Adam is 'relevant' and people want to photograph him!!

Shoshanna tweeted about 2 photoshoots in February 2015 -- when Adam was in London.

That chaise-longue tech dude should be an actor actually.

I didn't like the Details photos that much - love the current ones. Hated Frankengump :-). But most importantly he has never been same old same old. That is important for me

Queen + Adam Lambert - Behind The Magic (Short Version)Queen Official That chaise-longue tech dude should be an actor actually. Yep, he's great! And as for the prop, it was so lucky for me that the UK/Eur tour happened and people actually called it 'chaise longue' (long chair in French) which makes sense. During the summer I couldn't wrap my head around what 'lounge' had to do with it. Mystery solved six months later, LOL! Still don't know why I didn't decipher the word earlier, perhaps because there are two foreign languages involved.
