It has some interesting sections but it's a bit of a clunky read. I can't tell when he's referring to something Adam said or something the author is thinking. Even when using quotes like about the friend it's hard to tell if it's Adam's friend or the author's friend. And a variety of phrasing not matching from the first part of sentences to the last part like in the Madonna section. Perhaps he's not an English first writer? This interview may have some clunky spots in its wording, but I think it's one of the best interviews of Adam I've read in a long time. He states so clearly what his goals and strategies are in this new era where he has grown up a lot, has been through some pretty manipulative business experiences, has made decisions about who he wants to be professionally and personally. He's really come a long way. He is still the sweet, witty, intelligent, gentle, grateful, sexy guy we have always known. But now he has his life more in control. I love him all the more for it. I think he is becoming a public figure for reasons far beyond his music. That's one step to longevity and a place in music history.

And it's curious that he DID change the lyrics for the live performance but there was some censoring anyway. Somebody messed up but it wasn't Adam. He looked and sounded fabulous. And NE and CIH sound great live. I could actually understand the words! And his vocal embellishments were perfect and added a lot, IMO.
Please stream and view as much as possible. If we don't, these songs might as well be playing only at a private fan party. We have to make our support public to make it count. Looks like CIH its doing ok, but use all the help we can give it.

An interesting read for those of you wondering what Spotify is doing to music - yes doing as opposed to reflecting. I listened to some of the artists listed and found the article's description pretty accurate. thebaffler.com/downstream/streambait-pop-pellyHere's a portion: The Spotify sound has a few different variations, but essentially it’s a formula. “It has this soft, emo-y, cutesy thing to it,” Matt says. “These days it’s often really minimal and based around just a few simple elements in verses. Often a snap in the verses. And then the choruses sometimes employ vocal samples. It’s usually kind of emo in lyrical nature.” Then there’s also a more electronic, DJ-oriented variation, which is “based around a drop . . . It’s usually a chilled-out verse with a kind of coo-y vocal. And then it builds up and there’s a drop built around a melody that’s played with a vocal sample.” It makes sense that pop has been going largely in this emo-ish direction, one that is more “chilled” (to use a word that platform seems to like) despite taking on heavy topics. We live in an increasingly isolated culture, and, more and more, music listening is something that happens in solitude via headphones as opposed to collectively. Pop music today is less about big, upbeat, going-out-partying anthems, which have been replaced by smaller, more introspective tunes about internal quandaries. The sound of Spotify, as Matt defines it, is also “very Lana”—“When we think of pioneers of a sound, there’s almost no one else I can think of more than Lana del Rey . . . Her singing style and that bleakness, and the hip-hop influenced production, paved the way for all of this.”
