I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but I adore all the personal references in Stranger You Are: ◦ Dressing up (Versace) ◦ His dog ◦ His boots ◦ His strut (FYE) ◦ His shades (numerous and varied) ◦ His height (but with boots on, of course) ◦ Tequila Plus, horns, baby!!! I'm also wondering if "Imma fuck up a check and spend it all" might instead be, "Imma fuck up a check and send it off" because that would be strange and the recipient couldn't cash it. Makes me wonder if he actually did after a couple of tequilas one day. "... spend it all" makes more sense to me in context of the other lyrics.

I look forward to the CD that will presumably come with the lyrics. It's always fun to see what changes and Adam is a little less clear in his enunciation on this album. I am good because I'm loving the horns. I wonder if he will have horn players on his Velvet tour? ETA: Well there went my avatar again. Hmmm, it's still on twitter. So strange. ETA2: I uploaded my avatar straight from my laptop this time (you can do that now on Proboards) so hopefully it will stay right where it is now. Fingers crossed.

That's great! And welcome. I think Closer to You is a standout. It is so different from the other tracks. It also got picked up on some New Music Friday lists so that's really helped it this week. Welcome to Adamtopia, deb5anne !! Is Closer to You your favorite song? How long have you been following Adam? "Closer To You" didn't instantly hit me as much as other songs, but I am starting to play it more and more now. I think the falsetto adds softness, vulnerability, and a touch of sensuality and thus makes it quite ear wormy for me. I also really like the lyrics. I don't know anything about the intricacies of dare I say how to best play the "radio game" but I am wondering if Adam's team might want to consider sending CTY to HAC. I do think his team feels CTY would be the next single pushed to radio but how soon they would do so depends on what happens to SuperPower first since it's going to HAC (not POP) and has to figure in the holidays too and when that xmas freeze occurs. His team would have been the ones to select CTY as the song to go on Spotify's New Music Friday playlists (the artist picks, not Spotify) so they've got their eye on how it does.

ETA: Well there went my avatar again. Hmmm, it's still on twitter. So strange. It appears that "fucking up a check" is writing a check for a larger amount than you intended. Like you intended to write a check for $100 and you added a 0 too many, so you "fucked it up", and then you spent the $1000... Probably similar to what Urban Dictionary defines as "fuck up some commas" www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fuck%20up%20some%20comma%27s

Thanks Lol, I just opened up the link and "fuck up some commas" is pretty funny.

CTY is prob the next single. It’s a nice contrast to SP. seems to be making a few playlists on Spotify.

For a moment I thought if it would be possible at all to send CTY to radio instead of SP. But that was just a random thought. And I love SP. Let's see how things roll...
