I never hear people talk about "Heavy Fire" but that is one sexy song to me and I love it. I have often wondered why in interviews Adam mostly talks about the dance songs when there is so much more depth to his albums. Could it be that many casual fans who read the articles and might buy don't because they think it is all about one genre and dancing in the clubs? They could be unaware that so much more is there if it is not talked about. I love all of his albums because of the diversity. GT and TOH were favorites but TISI, Heavy Fire, Lucy are favorites also.

This single is not about radio and it's success will NOT be measured by radio airplay. Watch the streaming and to a lesser extent sales numbers. 1. Radio is no longer THE path to a song becoming a true hit. Streaming is now the most important media and accounts for 34% of US Music Revenue. Radio is an expense. 2. The US market is NOT the Holy Grail -- GLOBAL HITS are what matter. US market is only 30% of global music revenue. (Far less for EDM artists, higher for Adam.) 3. Adam has two hits that are widely known -- WWFM (due to radio) and Ghosttown (due primarily to streaming). 4. Everyone does not live in the US. Finally, there will not be "Oldies stations" for decades to come. We are 5 to 10 years away from the death of broadcast radio. Well, I guess I'm willing to stand corrected on most of what I posted. If radio play is less and less important for new music, than I guess that's a great advantage for Adam and most other artists. I just want him to be hugely successful and have a long career legacy. BUT, I stand by my statement that there will ALWAYS be some form of "oldies" radio. I do believe that there will always be stations out there that will play songs from every decade since rock and roll began in the 1950s. I know those songs can be accessed many ways, just like new music, but I think that, as long as radios still exist, there will always be a radio nostalgia market for "classics." Elvis, Beatles, Stones, etc. etc. etc. JMO I was not trying to "correct" you but I think it is really important to look at the current music world and realize it so much has changed. Regarding a market for "classics" -- Elvis, Beatles and Stones are rapidly vanishing from broadcast radio, being replaced by the "classics" from the 90's - Nirvana, Pearl Jam, U2 and so on. It is demographics -- and advertisers place ads on these stations to reach people who are 45-55. If someone is 50 years old, they were born in 1966 and are too young for Elvis, Beatles and Stones to be part of their 12-25 year old high-interest in music years. There are many, many studies about age and music preferences. There are also a lot of research studies about radio and the future. Here's a fun one based on Spotify data and age: www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/21/taste-in-music-age_n_7344322.html**** US radio is now ruled by country music -- so if we want Adam to have a big radio hit, we should be pushing him to move to Nashville. Top Radio Formats (by total audience size): 1) Country 2) News/Talk 3) Pop Contemporary Hit Radio

Finally, a video actually showing two male lovers in bed. Way to go Adam! Looked ambiguous to me. I had to stop video play and take a close look. One behind could be a twink, or could be a petite female with short hair and her small boobs pressed into his back.

I stopped the video as well , which leads me to believe that the figure is intentionally androgynous. I think that is perfect!

EDM on TOH: GT, The Light, Maybe Shame? Maybe These Boys? That's it! Heavy Fire & Lucy = Pop Rock UG = Sexy Rhythmic TISI= power ballad Everything else is pure Pop. A few are more HAC leaning than they are CHR Okay you got me lol. I was just saying Adam loves EDM and has alot of it on his Album. Maybe over exagerrating saying all of it, I apologize. No need to apologize. Adam does indeed like EDM. I think he has eclectic taste!

However, i am hoping for same sex lovers in the actual MV. Would sure stir up more press!
