Just tossing an opinion out here.. but after the twitter party and the new development with Niles and Avicii.. I am wondering if Adam is flying solo for a while, really is trying out the singer /songwriter/ ARTIST role - going where the spirit moves him, the projects and people and causes that connect with him. Similar to Niles and Pharrell.. I am wondering if he is giving the idea of being a "pop star" a rest and pursuing other artistic causes.
I've been wondering too.. how Adam , who has said that he wants to be his own master kind of thing,is going to sign his life away again with a, money is the bottom line,record label.IMHO If he does sign on that dotted line,he will want a lot of control over his music and art. Is there a label out there willing to fund Adam's projects because it is more interested in creativity an money???? I've been wondering the same thing. I'm not sure how he "flies solo." He doesn't play a musical instrument. He's not a songwriter in the sense of sitting down to a piano or with a guitar and coming up with a tune. He himself says he's more of a lyricist (and just learning the process at that). How does he write songs without a label to pair him with producers and songwriters? I'm not clear on how songs are written these days anyway. It's not like Lennon and McCartney sitting in a hotel room and working out a new song. Or Elton John writing a melody and giving it to Bernie Taupin for the lyrics. Or a band jamming on a riff they build around until they have a song. Or the principal songwriter in a group being someone other than the lead singer. It's a whole bank of producers and writers that "contribute" in some way into a finished product. This is one reason I always wished he would be working with great musicians in a band that could feed off one another. Monte was too old-fashioned rock and roll but he had the chops; Tommy has gotten better but doesn't really have the chops. None of them can write songs, as far as I know. If anyone could clue me into the process, I'd much appreciate it. Another thing is that he has not been talking about all the ideas and vision that he has now or how he is charged with creativity as he has in the past--and plus it seems there is no studio to go into anyway. (I understand how creativity works--how it ebbs and flows). I just don't want to think of him floundering, but aside from contributing to others' albums, not sure how he can do this. If anyone knows the process, I'd love to know. I really don't understand it. Too bad about Sam being in Europe. I still love Shady and think it could have been a hit. I think one problem with the song was the "pull it out" lyric, as ridiculous as it seems. My semi-homophobic but Adam-appreciative husband said "ew" when we were in the car and I was playing "Underneath" and the lyric "you inside of me" came on with a male singer. I know we're supposed to be post-gay, or well on our way, and antigay sentinments sicken me, but it's a reality that straight men do sometimes have a visceral reaction that we haven't moved past. I think it's one of the reasons Adam never had any hip-hop collabs on an album, that culture known particularly for its machismo and homophobia. (yes, yes, getting better, and all that, but I'm trying to be realistic). Ok, so, this also brings me to wondering about if, say, Sam WERE in the country and went to the Hamptons. Would it be problematic now for he and Adam and Nile appeared onstage to do Shady. Is this now unlikely with Adam having 'parted ways" with RCA? eep, long post, but I'm on a laptop for once and not my phone! |

I think Adam is much too new in the business to "fly solo" successfully. I think he needs the clout of a major label behind him. It seems that most or all of the Idols who have no label have fallen by the wayside.
Maybe that solo flying works when the artist is very well-established and financially able. I don't think Adam is at that point.
And I sure as hell don't want to see him drift out of sight:-(

I don't see a problem for Adam to sing all his songs from FYE & Trespassing live. It's almost like he sang those cover songs during his concert, Is This Love, AYGGMY, Stay, Purple Haze, etc. It's his own song. |
