Well, whatever he does to get his new music out there, I just hope he DOES it! So many artists are becoming more and more flexible with their strategies. Being with a major label shouldn't restrict effective ways to get music out there. As I said on the previous thread, Melanie has done TONS to promote her own music, get millions of views, make videos, etc. It's great that Adam is with a major label, but new ideas have to prevail if they work. I just don't want Adam left in the dust while others zoom ahead using every new idea in the book. Adam either does major performances (QAL, his own solo tours) or he does very little. Maybe a one-off performance here or there. Seems to me that there have to be a ways to keep him alive and active on YouTube, etc. I don't know what the answer is. The music world is changing by the second. And yes, getting excited about the Point Honor show! That may be more of a personal choice tho. You don't see Melanie hanging out at clubs or with friends. She seems to be working and touring all the time. Don't know if that is good or bad. When one tour ends she is on another with the same album. She even went back to tour Australia on her own after opening there with Adam. Her album went platinum in the US and gold in Uk. 3 singles went platinum and I believe 3 gold and with almost no radio play. I don't think she has come up for air with all she always has going on. But WMG/Atlantic kept putting out singles for her and it paid off. Maybe Adam does not feel the need to do it that way because he also has Queen and more financial security and wants a personal life.

Well, I don't care about Melanie. But I think Adam works really hard (2014-2016 were pretty crazy years for him) and he deserves some time to relax, hanging out at clubs or with friends. And he still keep us informed about his work and his private life a lot - I confess I'm really grateful for everything we've got from him (music, vids, performances, pics...). And I love QAL as well and look forward to their Europe tour. Adam loves his life and I love to be his fan.

Just being selfish, but I would love to see some more music videos from Adam. He is so creative and visual; I'm sure he had some great ideas for his songs. I see other artists like Melanie and Pentatonix doing this and it makes me want more! I have no idea how the music industry works. Does being on a major label restrict what you can do? What does it cost to make a video and would you get back the money through people viewing? Is the cost worth it because a video is promoting your music? Lots of questions, but I listen to his music and wonder how Adam would visually portray that song.

She does it her way and what works best for her.

Adam is with Sauli now?! Whaaaa?? The obvious question for me is...what may have been the conflict that kept Sauli from joining Adam in Ibiza? I am happy, regardless if they are just friends at this point. You are assuming that Sauli was asked before Dana. :D Observing this friendship/fwb relationship.....all we know is that Sauli meets up with Adam several times a year and Adam is single and mingling the rest of the time. This has been going on for over 4 years now and I expect it to continue until one or the other finds a new significant other. This is what happens when things aren't finalized and one or the other is hanging on or playing games..."Can't Let You Go". JMHO

JMHO None of us know the truth about their relationsship, so Let's just enjoy the fact that Adam (and Sauli) are having good times. The bond between them seem very strong to me. What ever the nature of their relationship is. One thing I am sure about is, that neither of them keep each other "hanging".

I am happy, regardless if they are just friends at this point. I have a theory that Sarina invited Dana and Adam when they were all in Provincetown. And the conflict was that Sauli had a professional commitment that week of Ibiza.

I know for fact that he has clients but also at least one steady class during the week, propably more.
