Will “Lay Me Down” be Avicii’s next single?
8.12.13 by Q3

At 7:00AM US ET tomorrow (August 13, 2013), Avicii will reveal his album cover and the name of his next single in an interactive live event fueled by Twitter. The "True Reveal" event will be live-streamed and as fans tweet #TrueReveal parts of the next single will begin to be gradually revealed – audio layer by audio layer. Eventually, the sound will be loud enough to break glass and reveal the album cover.

Avicii’s new album [TRUE] will be released on September 17th. The lead single and global hit, “Wake Me Up” a collaboration with Aloe Blacc kicks off the album’s 12 tracks. The album is loaded with collaboration including appearances from Audra Mae and Incubus’s Mike Einziger, Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons, and a pair of collaborations with disco legend Nile Rodgers including “Lay Me Down” featuring vocals by Adam Lambert.

TRUE Tracklist
1. Wake Me Up [feat. Aloe Blacc] (the lead single)
2. You Make Me [feat. Salem Al Fakir]
3. Hey Brother [feat. Dan Tyminski]
4. Addicted To You [feat. Mac Davis & Audra Mae]
5. Dear Boy
6. Liar Liar [feat. Blondfire]
7. Shame On Me [feat. Nile Rodgers]
8. Lay Me Down [feat. Adam Lambert & Nile Rodgers]
9. Hope There’s Someone [feat. Linnea Henriksson]
10. Heart Upon My Sleeve [feat. Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons]
11. Long Road To Hell [feat. Audra Mae]
12. Edom

Avicii fans and fans of the artists featured on this album have been speculating about what the next single will be. The recent announcement that Avicii will join Nile and Adam Lambert for this week’s AFTEE benefit concert has really fueled speculation that “Lay Me Down” will be the next single, but there are a few contenders for the next single… including the collaboration with Audra Mae “Addicted To You”….



… and Avicii and Joakim Berg “Liar Liar”




And some tracks that seem unlikely in the concert remix versions could have a single/radio version for example, 10. Heart Upon My Sleeve:



One track, 12. Edom, is not likely to be the next single -- soundcloud.com/aviciiofficial/preview-avicii-edom

Aside from that, it is hard to figure out what Avicii will do next but since the current hit single features a country/folk vocal, all I can say is I am prepared to be surprised. For all we know, he will reveal a 13th track on the 13th and that track will be the next single.




Adam on Future Collaborations with Queen

‘I think it’s really up to the guys’: Adam Lambert’s unsure how far Queen collaboration will go
by Something Else!

The news that Adam Lambert’s collaboration with Queen will make a long-awaited U.S. debut next month begs the question: Is this becoming a long-term collaboration with founders Brian May and Roger Taylor?



“I’m having a great time with Queen,” Lambert says in this video from Hooray Henry’s LA opening. “I don’t know; I think it’s really up to the guys.”

Lambert first worked with Queen — stepping in for the late Freddie Mercury — back in 2009, during an appearance on American Idol. He then sang with Queen in 2011 at an MTV Europe video awards program, which led to a series of dates together last summer.

Up next: An appearance at Las Vegas’ iHeartRadio Festival, set for September 20, 2013.



Though Queen has appeared with other lead singers since Mercury’s passing in 1991 — notably Paul Rodgers — Lambert says he still entered into this musical partnership with no small amount of trepidation. May and Taylor, he adds, helped smooth the way.

“At first, it was a bit daunting, you know,” Lambert says. “These are big shoes to fill. Freddie Mercury is huge, a huge icon for me — an amazing vocalist, one of the best rock singers of all time. So, it was a little nerve-wracking in the beginning, but they’re such nice guys. They’re so friendly, and down to Earth. They were very warm, and that made me feel very confident.”
