pi, I found all the grammatical errors in the Hunger article distracting. Perhaps it was written by a non-English as a first language person. They should have an editor, though. Yeah, it really distracted from a good interview article. I actually was an editor for 13 years (for environmental engineering companies - boring!), and I can't stop myself from editing everything in my brain! And you see it everywhere, even in articles and op-ed pieces in mainstream media like the NYT. Just yesterday I saw "soft-pedaled" (didn't pedal your bike very hard?) instead of "soft-peddled" (didn't sell your point very well). And then there's rein/reign, effect/affect, etc. etc. Aaargh! To bring it back to Adam - I like that he's so well spoken so that I can listen to him without my brain going haywire, haha!
I would suggest watching Weird Al's "Word Crimes" music video in case you haven't done so yet...

It seems the promo is kicking in big time now! This is interesting and is taken from the Hunger interview. twitter.com/BLABBERMOUTHNET/status/1130886725490790401BLABBERMOUTH.NET @blabbermouthnet ADAM LAMBERT Isn't Sure It Makes Sense For Him To Record New Music With QUEEN www.blabbermouth.net/news/adam-lambert-isnt-sure-it-makes-sense-for-him-to-record-new-music-with-queen/Adam Lambert says that he isn't sure it makes sense for him to record new music with QUEEN. Lambert, drummer Roger Taylor and guitarist Brian May first shared the stage during "American Idol" in May 2009 for a performance of "We Are The Champions". They teamed up again in 2011 at the MTV European Music Awards in Belfast, Ireland for an electrifying eight-minute finale of "The Show Must Go On", "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" and in the summer of 2012, Lambert performed a series of shows with QUEEN across Europe as well as dates in Russia, Ukraine and Poland. They have since completed a number of tours and performed at some of the biggest festivals in the world. Speaking to Hunger, Lambert said about QUEEN's plans to release more music: "People always ask if we want to record together, and I'm not sure it makes total sense, because it wouldn't really be QUEEN, because, to me, QUEEN is [late singer] Freddie [Mercury]. My favorite thing is collaborating and putting these concerts together and creating on stage — it's super fulfilling and exciting. To present these ideas to these two gentlemen — especially when they like the idea." Asked how his experience with QUEEN has changed him as a musician, Lambert said: "I think the power of the songs is that their timelines — they didn't really follow any trends; they experimented with different sounds and musical styles; they were fearless. I've always enjoyed that side of things — they are proof it works. Playing to huge audiences all around the world and seeing them sing along and understanding the power of music is transformative to a person. It's uniting. Everyone sings along. It's bringing an entire arena together, which, in today's world, is pure magic." May previously described Lambert as the only singer the band had found capable of filling the shoes of iconic frontman Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 of complications from to AIDS. "Adam is the first person we've encountered who can do all the QUEEN catalogue without blinking," said May. "He is a gift from God." Taylor echoed the guitarist's sentiments, adding: "[Adam's] incredibly musical, and we certainly take anything he says quite seriously." Lambert, for his part, downplayed the Mercury comparisons, saying: "There's never going to be another, and I'm not replacing him. That's not what I'm doing. I'm trying to keep the memory alive, and remind people how amazing he was, without imitating him. I'm trying to share with the audience how much he inspired me."

idolator @idolator "I believe in the music so much." @adamlambert poses for 'Hunger' and opens up about his new LP, 'Velvet': idola.to/2JTGcwL Adam Lambert strikes a pose for Hunger magazine, serving (slightly sinister) supermodel in a series of pics taken by famed photographer Rankin. The pop star also opens up about his ’70s rock-inspired new single, “New Eyes,” in the accompanying interview. “I chose this song [as lead single] because of the message and the mood,” the 37-year-old begins. “It’s a romantic song about needing someone who you are so inspired by, you see the whole world differently through their eyes.” It sets the tone for his much-anticipated 4th LP, Velvet. “I look back on the last 10 years and in the past I’ve been confident but a lot more apprehensive when bringing out an album, but this time I’m just relieved and really calm about it,” Adam muses. “I believe in the music so much, I feel like I’ve followed my instincts and my intuition more than I ever have. Overall the album has more of an organic feel and you can hear all the instruments in it… it’s not dependent on computerized sounds, there’s a lot more instruments going on.” Read through the full interview here and click through the pics up top.

twitter.com/ETCanada/status/1130861573298434049ET Canada @etcanada .@adamlambert on his new album #Velvet: "I believe in the music so much" etcnda.com/3RB35qAdam Lambert is applying his life lessons to his new album. The Grammy-nominated singer opened up about his personal journey in a new interview with Hunger Magazine. “I was lucky enough to grow up in a really open family; they were really supportive of me when I came out at 18,” he shared. “Then I moved to LA and I became an adult and had my share of relationships and adventures.” “Over the next 10 years, I had my own personal journey of identity and relationships,” he continued. “By the time I became a public figure I had already had 10 years to decide the man I wanted to be.” Lambert, 37, is currently working on Velvet, his first solo studio album since 2015’s The Original High. “I look back on the last 10 years and in the past, I’ve been confident but a lot more apprehensive when bringing out an album, but this time I’m just relieved and really calm about it,” he expressed. “I believe in the music so much, I feel like I’ve followed my instincts and my intuition more than I ever have.” Lambert added. “Overall the album has more of an organic feel and you can hear all the instruments in it – I wanted to get on stage with a four-piece band and play. It’s not dependent on computerized sounds, there’s a lot more instruments going on.” The singer-songwriter and Queen collaborator released the album’s first single “New Eyes” on May 15. “I have a lot of different moods and energies in the album all living in this Velvet world,” he shared. “I chose this song because of the message and the mood – it’s a romantic song about needing someone who you are so inspired by you see the whole world differently through their eyes.” There is no confirmed release date for Velvet yet.
