IMO The Original High = Sex/Love It's more universal than music. The "High-Lust" that you feel when you first fall in love. No matter how much Adam loves music and performing SEX SEX SEX is just in his DNA!
With Max Martin at the helm, I'm sure that there will be lots of songs with great hooks and clever lyrics. I'm not worried about that, however I also think that the genre will be more Rock than Pop. More PINK's Funhouse than Trespassing. Adam has said (something along the lines of) that his time with Queen has made him rediscover his rock sound. Adam wants to be heard on radio. He wants to be a star. I think with Trespassing he tried to fill the album with electronic dance club music because he is, after all, a "Club Kid" and he wanted HIS music to be club hits. Unfortunately club music doesn't always translate to radio. My club days are over (I had my time in the late 80's 90's Ha Ha) so I don't know if Trespassing songs ever made it to the dance floor....but they sure the heck should have. Don't get me wrong, I think that the new album will be totally danceable..just not so electronic.
My predictions for the sound of the new era:
* at least 1 heart breaking Love Lost Ballad: Nobody does a ballad like AFL!!!!!!!!!
* I also think that there will be a "makes you tear and fall in love all over" profession of love ballad. (Ahhhh Just the thought...you know, the kind of song that makes you want to hold your spouse's hand after 20 years of marriage...ahh) This ballad may be a duet with Tov Love or Sia.
* I think they will borrow the sound from "Runnin" (I think Adam was surprised how well received that song was with both fans and critics.)
* I also think that they will do a song similar to "Marry the Night" (for the same reason as above.)
* I DO NOT think that they will try and replicate WDYWFM or IIHY (Been there done that..not current any more)
* There will be a Funky song (because Adam can't help it Ha Ha)
* I have a sneaky suspicion that he has collaborated on an new Rock Anthem with the band 'Queen" (Of course that may have just come to me in a dream and not actually be real)
* I think that the song about "going down on a girl" with Avicci and Nile will actually surface on Adam's album. (kinda as a shock/humor factor)
* Sex Sex Sex fun dance/rock songs will make up the rest of the album.
That's my prediction so far....a girl can dream can't she? LOL
