Adam Lambert Lays Down Some Vocals For Avicii


Adam Lambert Lays Down Some Vocals For Avicii
Posted by Anthony Deluca ON Sep 10, 2013 IN Electronic / Dance

With the rise of disco inspired tracks surfacing across radio airwaves, it's no surprise that artists are latching on to the success of 70's throwback tunes (Get Lucky, Blurred Lines, etc...). With pop radio embracing different genres (albeit slowly, I'm being positively optimistic here), we are seeing unique and seriously unexpected collaborations. Avicii shocked the EDM world with his country inspired track previews at Ultra, and for good reason. I was not thrilled in the slightest with what he shared back in March and feared that he made a grave mistake. I fully admit now that I was wrong...

Wake Me Up has broken boundaries for electronic music and it looks like the rest of Avicii's album will be held to this standard of crossing over musical styles. In recent news, it has been reported that American Idol Alum Adam Lambert has collaborated with the man himself, alongside the genius that is Nile Rodgers, for a track on the new album. With a preview that has been released to the public, Lay Me Down is everything that I hoped the song would be. While many had hoped that Lambert would choose to make music in the same vein as his performances on Idol, he went for a more pop-oriented album, leaving a hate it or love it divide from the general public.

As a long time advocate for Lambert's amazing vocal abilities, this news comes as a sigh of relief. With recent news that Lambert separated from his label, many were fearing that his music career would reach a stand still (He has now been cast on the television series GLEE, the details of which have yet to be announced).

With an octave range that parallels the likes of Freddie Mercury, lending his talents to Avicii's production only heightened the magnitude of the track. While provocative and racy performances in the past have distanced many from truly giving his music a chance, Lambert's talent is undeniable. Of course it goes without saying that his AMA performance shocked much of the entertainment industry and left many wondering if his Idol persona was an act. Despite the backlash, a cancelled GMA performance, and social media going into a frenzy, Lambert has proven that talent should always prove more successful than shock value.

With two successful albums ('Trespassing debuted #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart), the world wide 'Glam Nation Tour', and several performances with the legendary rock band Queen under his belt, I have complete confidence that this song will be a massive success. Singles like 'Whataya Want From Me' and a Grammy nomination lend themselves to the unique talent that he alone possess. While many are outspokenly against his 'campy' performance styles or unapologetic views on being a proud member of the LGBT community, his work speaks for itself. I highly suggest you check out both albums, his vocals are ridiculous!

This song will either be something that everyone loves or loves to hate...It throws itself back to Earth, Wind & Fire and Donna Summer inspired 70's tunes that really embody the soul that pop radio seems to be lacking (This is a generalization, but not completely unfounded). Avicii deserves huge praise here, he has definitely taken a risk that, I think, will pay off. And no, this isn't 'Get Lucky' 2.0...There is almost no semblance of comparison. Check out Lay Me Down below!

The Best Adamtopia Contest Ever!!

The wackiest, wildest Adam FANtasy battle!
9.8.13 by Q3

I am often reminded by fan friends that we live to speculate and create rumors and evaluate rumors and play what if games and imagine and discuss alternative realities. I believe that is why we call it FANtasizing.

So here is the challenge...

Come up with the wackiest, wildest Adam CAREER/MUSIC FANtasy ever and you could win a great prize. You can be part of the FANtasy but that is not recommended and, if you include yourself, be really creative about it. (Yes, I think we all would like to be at Adam's table when he wins the Oscar, so your presence in this fantasy will add little.)

> You can write up to 500 words, plus include up to 3 photos or videos.

> All Adamtopia rule apply.

> Career/Music Fantasy does not include sexual fantasies or the type of material typically found in fanfics. (Fan fiction)

> Post your Adam FANtasy in the daily news thread from now until 11:59PM PDT on September 15, 2013.

> Put this at the top or your entry Adam FANtasy Contest Entry.

I will pick the best 3 FANtasies in my own capricious and arbitrary way! The ultimate winner will be selected by Adamtopia members (1 vote per member) in a secret ballot (an online poll).

I will be looking for originality, creativity, wackiness and wildness. Extra points for absolute insanity. You can add illustrations, photos, videos, anything you can post on this forum, to bring your vision to life.

The prize....

The winner will receive an Adam collectable prize of some sort yet to be determined -- and will win the biggest prize of a special title on their Adamtopia profile.
