I think the"queen priority" came out of the post by someone here(sorry I can't remember the name) who has a friend at WBR....who said they love Adam and support him, but queen is "huge" now ..or something like that...which inferred Queen to be a priority.... Yes that and also he listed Lead singer with QUEEN on his new IG header, followed by solo artist on WBR. Some took that to be significant...not sure I agree. I think they both are priorities and which ever is going on at the present time is the priority. He is so fortunate to have both priorities...with a little actin as a bonus. I think the natural thing for him would be to mention his own career first. It started way before he ever met Queen. The fact that he switched it around is very meaningful imo. But you're right that he rights about whatever he's got in his life at the moment. I guess I'm dissappointed that what he got right now is QAL. The way he spoke about his own music in interviews, it sounded like it was going to be released very soon, nothing was holding it back except for timing. At least that's how I interpretted it.

I think we all have to keep in mind that Adam is not an indie artist who can do what he wants when he wants. He is with a major label and it has to work with their timetable and release schedule. I'm sure that Queen is a priority for Adam (and they should be) when they have concerts planned. I'm also sure that his solo career is just as important to him. Unless he says otherwise, and he is the one who knows how he feels, no assumptions from me. I know people keep saying that EP's are the thing but it seems to me that the major players are still releasing albums for the most part. So if they sent him back to get more material for an album instead of an EP, I would be more than happy with that and willing to wait a little longer. But Adam has two careers to manage and it is a bit different and more challenging than the norm.

He changes his instragram as needed. Queen is for the next few months as it is locked in. When he releases his own music and starts promoting his music he'll change his IG header to reflect that. That IG header will be changed as the situation calls for it. I look at this writing camp as an opportunity to write some great music for himself or for others, an opportunity to meet future collaborators, an opportunity to recharge himself for the upcoming Queen gigs. All positive. Maybe it makes sense to release new music in the new year and then have the time and opportunities to promote it then. He seems really happy. That has to inspire some kick ass music !!!

And, whether we like it or not, there are still a hell of a lot more people in the world who know who Queen is than know who Adam is...

He changed his ig bio to read " Lead singer for QUEEN, Solo Artist on Warner Bros Records, some actin gigs too! Out AF. I love my life". To me it read loud and clear that he's lead singer for Queen first, solo artist second, and actor third. But he also says that he loves his life, which to me means it's all a matter of choice and he wasn't forced into anything. If the new music is only due next year, I think Adam should say something to refute what he said previously. That would make people "chill". Why is it a negative thing that QAL is Adam's priority right now? His career is composed of many things. QAL is THE biggest gig of his life so far, and it won't last forever. I have no problem with his own music taking a back seat for a while. QAL has been a huge positive for him. It's just good business. I don't care is he lists "Lead singer for QUEEN" first on his ig bio. It's a huge eye-grabber to anyone just learning about him. He has years ahead of him, post-Queen. He will take every bit of advantage from it that he can. Many young singers would kill for that job. He knows how lucky he is. It isn't negative. I guess I'm ambivalent about it. On the one hand, it gives him a lot of credibility. People usually need some authority to tell them what to think, and if Queen takes Adam to be their lead, to them it means they got it from good authority that Adam's an amazing singer. His talent and skills are not in question, and that's very good for his reputation and his future. And the longer they tour the world, the more people catch up with it. On the other hand, on previous times they were able to maneuver between QAL and Adam's solo career. That's the first time that the QAL tour has directly inteferred with Adam's own roll out. I guess they did want to combine the two, but something went wrong. I think Adam's solo career shouldn't be pushed aside. If he's ever to be remembered, it would be because of his own songs, not because he substituted for Freddie for a few years. And besides, selfishly, I'm here for Adam and not for Queen. As much as I enjoy him in QAL, I had enough of hearing the same songs over and over and over for years on end. If they come here again - sure, I'll go, but I'd much rather Adam came here on his own tour.

To me, the interesting fact about the writer's camp is that there will be professional demos to be "pitched" by the end of the week. That's a lot of potential Adam music.

Adam's timetable has always been suspect. lol And yes, Katycake....he teases us with the "soon" and music being "polished", etc. to keep the fans and the public thru interviews engaged and interested. Perhaps he and WBR are just gonna wait till after the OZ QAL shows are done and then we'll get A4 early spring 2018. Fingers crossed we get a successful enough single to warrant a tour.
ETA It would be wonderful to know what all discussions are going on behind the scenes. Maybe WBR is building up Adam's profile thru QAL, or maybe the new music has changed directions or just isn't finished to everyone's liking, or they're going from an EP to a LP adding more songs. With all the changes and adaptations and uncertainties in the music business...there is much to consider. We'll prob figure it all out by this time next year....lol

I heard Ghost Town on Sirius radio yesterday and it reminded me of how I love hearing Adam on the radio and want that again (and to see him on TV singing his hit song too). I see this writing camp as a positive thing. I'm guessing it's probably arranged by the label, and my take on it is that they want to give Adam every tool and opportunity there is to create music. I'm willing to wait for 2018 for a new album or EP if it also means more support for his music when it's released.

I was thinking what I'd like to see from Adam the most and I realized that for my selfish self I NEED to hear him SINGING LIVE.. knowing that we have about 35!!! 2 hour concerts makes me really happy! QAL is a blessing! And given the current generous for us singing schedule I can easily wait till his own music reveals itself.... plus that rumor re a show in Israel makes me hopeful for Asia as well, and may be some summer 2018 festivals...
