Adam Lambert Dropped Two New ‘Original High’ Songs While You Were Sleeping
By Bradley Stern May 22, 2015 6:17 AM
Warner Bros.
A lesson from Adam Lambert: Never sleep. Ever.
While you were busy snoozing (and, presumably, dreaming sweet Glambert dreams), the “Ghost Town” superstar casually logged onto YouTube late last night and uploaded not one, but two new night time-themed tunes from his forthcoming Max Martin executive produced effort, The Original High.
And…they’re both great. Obviously.
youtu.be/cXGpOAKG76w
First, there’s “Evil In The Night,” a genre-blurring blend of electronic rock, piano balladry and dance all in one, as Glambert calls out a rather criminal lover…and he’s positively thrilled by the sense of danger. “Baby, your love is a crime / Danger by day, but you’re evil in the night,” he purrs. Break out the whips and chains baby, ’cause Adam’s getting his kink on: “Keep me on a leash tonight…there’s nowhere for me to hide.”
Boy, you just beggin’ for trouble.
youtu.be/VVFie1N25lg
“Another Lonely Night,” on the other hand, finds the crooner getting all caught up in his feelings for a finger-snapping electro heartbreaker. “I don’t give a fuck if the sun comes up / It’s just another day, another lonely night,” he scowls above the dark, chilly synth pulse as he grows nostalgic (and increasingly bitter) post-break up. As with “Ghost Town,” Adam’s going for the haunting factor.
Along with the recently released “Underground,” this is shaping up to be a record best consumed in the midnight hour, that’s for sure. Night time isn’t just Sky Ferreira‘s time, after all.

Adam Lambert's New High: Inside the Powerhouse Belter's Latest Reinvention
'Idol' star and Queen singer learns the art of restraint while putting together reflective LP
By Maura Johnston May 8, 2015
Adam Lambert made 'The Original High' after reflecting on his life in L.A. Frank Hoensch/Redferns
After Adam Lambert left his contract with RCA Records, the former American Idol contestant and acting Queen frontman took a break to figure out the direction of his music, and the best way to put his powerhouse pipes to use. "I was taking the opportunity to, without anybody's input, experiment in-studio and work with some songwriters," recalls Lambert. "I started working with Axident and John West, and I recorded a song with them called 'The Original High.'"
"High" is a tense meditation on lost moments that splits the difference between disco and EDM, with Lambert showing off a softer side of his falsetto on the chorus. The song is the title track for Lambert's third full-length, which is due out June 16.
"The lyrics [to 'The Original High'] sum up, in the most beautiful, simple way, what I had been noticing about myself and my friends and the circle I'm in here in Los Angeles," says Lambert. "There's this underlying sense of longing that I've noticed that I feel and that a lot of my friends feel. It's hard to even put your finger on what it is that you're longing for.
"We spend a lot of time chasing that first-time feeling," he continues. "You're never going to get your first experience back with something. It's really hard to recreate the first time, and that's what we're longing for — that novelty, that discovery. You're in a big city like this that's full of dynamic people, and you tend to kind of always look for the next thing. It makes it very hard to be content and to be satisfied with life."
Lambert, who was thrust into the global pop spotlight in 2009 after his torrid Idol run and subsequent coming out, says that while the lyrics to "High" and the brooding lead single "Ghost Town" can resonate widely, they also caused him to reflect on his recent past.
"I've been out here since 2001," he says. "And that's the thing: There's a very fine line between the temptations and the excesses and the pure joy of being an adult in a city full of very competitive, creative people. I've been on both sides of it, where it's blown up in my face and been painful, and I've also had wild adventures out here."
Lambert signed to Warner Bros. last year and re-teamed with pop super-producer Max Martin, who helped write Lambert's first post-Idol hit, "Whataya Want From Me." This wasn't a simple reunion, though; Martin and co-producer Shellback had definite ideas about where Lambert should take his artistry next.
"When I brought ['The Original High'] to Max and Shellback, they got really excited by it — they loved the sound, the feel, they liked the way I was singing it," says Lambert. "'We're used to hearing you go over the top, but it's really interesting to hear you pull back and do something more intimate,' they said. I think that was what made them want to do an album with me. They said, 'This is a new color of your voice that we want to dig into a little bit more.'"
On Idol, Lambert was known for his over-the-top takes on songs like "Ring of Fire," and his dance-diva turns on "Shady" (from his 2012 album Trespassing) and "Lay Me Down" (from Avicii's True) showed how he could use his voice at full throttle. But here, he's pulling back slightly while still giving full emotional weight to his performances.
"One of the things I've learned over the last six years, with Max and Shellback's help, is that sometimes in order to affect the listener emotionally, less is more," he says. "When I was younger, even on Idol, I was a bit more raw in the sense that I would get my original high — my spike of adrenaline — from performing. I would get so charged up and so excited in front of the audience that it would throw my energy through the roof. That's why I tend to be an over-the-top kind of performer. Figuring out how to channel it a little differently is interesting, and I've been trying to do that more lately. Internalizing it more, letting it settle and being more grounded."
Swedish singer Tove Lo, the first of the album's two featured artists, worked with Lambert early in the sessions and recorded "Rumors" with him even before her "Habits (Stay High)" became a Top 10 hit. The second guest, Queen guitarist Brian May, dropped by the studio after Lambert toured with the pomp-rock legends last summer.
"Brian and I get along really well and trust each other," says Lambert. "I said, 'Look, I have this song we've worked up, and it has a hip-hop beat on it but it's still a rock song, and I think you would kill it.' It's sort of a 'Dirty Diana' type of record, and he killed it. He came in and had a great riff that he added to it. And of course, there's no feature with Brian May without one of his killer solos."
Introducing the Queen guitarist to the man behind pop blockbusters like "…Baby One More Time" led to an accidentally awkward encounter — a lighter moment amid the restless self-reflection.
"He walked into the studio and didn't realize Max Martin was Max Martin — they hadn't met before," Lambert recalls. "And Max is so chill, devoid of any ridiculous ego and down to earth. At first Brian didn't know it was him, and I didn't realize I was supposed to introduce them. We're sitting there for about 10 minutes talking, and Brian says, 'Where's Max?' And I said, 'Uh. . . ' And Brian laughed, and Max laughed. You would think a big pop producer would act like a big pop producer, but that's one of the reasons Max is amazing."

First Listen: Adam Lambert – ‘The Original High’
by Richard Baxter · May 21, 2015
In case you’ve been living under a rock, Adam Lambert will officially return with ‘The Original High’ on June 16th. His new single, ‘Ghost Town’, is just getting its start on Top 40 radio and we’ve already gotten the promo track ‘Underground’ to hold us over until the album’s release. What if we told you that we could give you a little taste of what the title track from the album sounds like?
Adam previewed a number of songs at an exclusive NYC showcase and ‘The Original High’ happened to be one of them. Thanks to a TwitVid (which we have since removed), the chorus of the title track has Adam giving full falsetto on top of a funk-driven 80’s guitar beat as Adam longs for the past and craves that “first time” experience:
Gotta feel the touch like the first time/Wanna breathe it out cause I’m going out my mind/Gotta feel the touch like the first time/This time, chasing the original high
Now Glamberts, your minds may wander to the title track of ‘Trespassing’ given the funk-pop sound it has as well, but rest assured that Adam isn’t recycling the same song again. Think more Prince-esque vibes than anything else!
So what do we think? Does it sound like a hit from what we gave you?

Brian May: Queen would like to play Glastonbury with Adam Lambert
Guitarist says the American Idol star who has been filling Freddie Mercury’s shoes as frontman is an ‘amazing artist’ – but they have no plans to make a record
Queen would like to play Glastonbury, Brian May has said. The guitarist was speaking at this year’s Ivor Novello awards, which took place yesterday in London, where he told Bang Showbiz the band would be interested in playing if Adam Lambert were available to join them.
“Look, these things get put on the table; it would be interesting to do Glastonbury if we were an operational unit at the time,” he said. “You see, this year Adam’s off doing his solo work at the moment so it wouldn’t have worked. You only look at things that are possible logistically at the time.”
Lambert has made a great success of standing in for the late Freddie Mercury as frontman of Queen. While the band may not have recaptured their stadium-filling status of the 1980s, they have garnered rave reviews for their arena shows. The Guardian’s review of their most recent tour noted that “this show succeeds because of Adam Lambert, not despite him. The 32-year-old has said he wants to celebrate the flamboyant, camp, gay Mercury rather than replace him, but he definitely has the Freddie factor.”
Speaking to Gigwise at the awards, May said there were no plans for Queen to enter the recording studio with Lambert. “It’s not coming along, no we’re not doing that,” he said. “Not at the moment anyway. We might do. At the moment, we’re watching with interest while Adam pursues his solo career, and it seems to be going very well. He’s an amazing, amazing artist, and there’s no getting away from that. It’s very interesting to watch him develop.
“We’re very conscious that he doesn’t want to be with us all the time – that would be so wrong, for us to just envelop him and never let him go off and do anything else,” May went on. “So it’s very important that his own career is progressing now. We’re looking forward to being back together in September to do Rock in Rio, and some dates in Argentina and Venezuela, I believe.”
Lambert releases his new album The Original High next month.
