Listen to “Ghost Town” by Adam Lambert
It’s like the Glambert faithful and the whole world of pop have been waiting on the arrival of new material from Mr glam himself Adam Lambert.
Whilst, we’ve seen Adam step up front of house with the vocalist duties for rock/pop icons Queen, its new pop turns from the charismatic performer that we’ve been the most hungriest to recieve.
Each and every little snippet of info and tease that we’ve been tantalised with over the past few weeks has now culminated in the full track reveal of “Ghost Town” the highly anticipated Max Martin collaboration with the singer from the upcoming album “The Original High”.
What has been hinted at by many as being a pop triumph is now revealed to be the truth!
Ghost Town” is brilliantly tripping off a fusion of styles that act in heading the track into the direction of slapping bass, and dance accented groovy breakdowns. Together with this seasons must-have accompaniment of the whistling interlude, according to both Hilary Duff and Katy Tiz anyways!
If there’s anybody out there who in some way have never heard of Adam Lambert before, come the end of summer this will simply no longer be the case as “Ghost Town” is literally going to be everywhere, starting now peoples, they’ll be no escaping its intoxicating grip, we’re telling ya.

Adam Lambert Talks Meaning Behind ‘Ghost Town,’ Working With Tove Lo on ‘Rumors’
Fans can pre-order "The Original High" before it drops on June 16 and receive an instant download of "Ghost Town" on iTunes
Apr 22, 2015
By Marc Inocencio
After releasing his new single “Ghost Town” and issuing June 16 as the release date for his upcoming album The Original High, Adam Lambert joined On Air with Ryan Seacrest in the green room to answer some burning questions about his new project.
During an intimate Q&A session, the American Idol alum responded to fan questions on Twitter about the heartache lyrics in “Ghost Town,” working with Swedish artist Tove Lo, and a lyric that has resonated with him in the past couple of months.
youtu.be/5Lky6LQoqE8
“I would say that the lyrics from the title track ‘The Original High’ on the album are kind of very true to what I observed over the past couple of years,” he says, revealing his most cherished lyric at the moment. “The title track, it says, “Chasing the original high,’ that’s the hook. I feel like we all do that on some way. Whatever the original high is to you … The first time, for me, [when] I got onstage and that adrenaline rush, that kind of high.”
For his third studio album, the 33-year-old teamed up with Tove Lo on a song called “Rumors.” The collaboration came about when he began the writing process for The Original High in Stockholm, Sweden and linked up with the “Habits (Stay High)” singer.

“I love this girl,” he admits. “We just had such a blast writing together. She’s funny, she’s normal, she’s like a normal down-to-earth girl and we went and we got dinner [one] night. We sat and had a couple glasses of wine and talked about dating and life and music. This is a really cool girl. I’m really excited for her.”
youtu.be/-seQ6xxfBzw
For his final question, he reveals that “Ghost Town” was written vaguely so listeners can relate to the track.
“The lyrics of ‘Ghost Town’ were intentionally vague because I really, really want people to find their own meaning in the song,” he says. “To me personally, it’s about questioning your ability to love. We all go through a lot of things in our lives. We maybe go through heartbreaks, or doubts, or hardships, and it causes us to maybe close off a little bit, or to get a little bit bitter or jaded. There are these moments where you have to ask yourself like, ‘Is it still possible? Am I going to fall in love again?'”

I had the pleasure of interviewing Adam Lambert about touring, the message he aims to deliver to fans and his brand new song, “Ghost Town.”
On having put out a Greatest Hits album already, Adam Lambert says, “it’s been an interesting few years… lots of music to give to fans.”
He also says “Ghost Town” is a different than he’s ever done before and he’s been getting great feedback.
Here’s the full interview…and I think I love him more than ever.

Must-Hear Music Podcast: Adam Lambert, Kurt Cobain, Florence, Rihanna & More
By Joe Lynch | April 22, 2015 5:49 PM EDT
Getty Images; Courtesy
It's a diverse lineup on this week's Must-Hear Music podcast. We go from Adam Lambert's '90s house-influenced new song "Ghost Town" to Kurt Cobain's haunting acoustic cover of the Beatles' "And I Love Her," recently unearthed for the Montage of Heck documentary.
Back in 2015, we (Jason Lipshutz, Joe Lynch, Erika Ramirez) talk about Panic! at the Disco's surprisingly soulful new single "Hallelujah," and Florence + the Machine's pleasantly Smiths-y new song "Ship to Wreck."
We also talk about our mixed feelings on Rihanna's Spingsteenian "American Oxygen" and Raekwon's awesome A$AP Rocky collabo "I Got Money."
Download the Must-Hear Music podcast on iTunes or listen below. Beneath the SoundCloud, check out the tracks we talk about this week.
P.S. Yes, we discuss the fact that both Madonna and Lambert have competing "Ghost Town" songs out.

How to buy "Ghost Town"
Make sure you but GT from iTunes. It is the real time music chart that matters the most.
If you want to buy more than one copy, you have two options:
1. Send an iTunes gift to people who you know will accept your gift. It only counts as a sale if you download it. I am a fan of real gifting because it spreads the music around.
2. If you don’t want to deal with gifting, you can buy a second copy from Amazon and maybe from a few more places that report. There are 28 places in the US that sell digital music: whymusicmatters.com/find-music plus Adam's official store.
