Pop Shop Podcast: Adam Lambert on 'Ghost Town,' New Album & Why He Rejected a Covers Project
By Jason Lipshutz, New York | April 23, 2015 10:32 AM EDT
On this week's episode, Adam Lambert stops by the podcast to discuss his new "existential dance goth rave" single "Ghost Town," contemplating (and ultimately rejecting) an 80's covers album, finding his new sound in Sweden and why his new album The Original High will offer "something for everybody." (Note: there's more with Adam coming to Billboard.com soon!)

Adam Lambert on His 'Ghost Town' vs. Madonna's 'Ghosttown': 'I Thought, What Are The Chances?'
By Jason Lipshutz, New York | April 23, 2015 12:27 PM EDT
"Hers is like a post-apocalyptic love song, mid-tempo, and mine's like an existential dance goth rave thing," says Lambert.
Ghost towns are all the rage in pop these days: just a few weeks after Madonna announced that the power ballad "Ghosttown" would be the second single from her new Rebel Heart album, Adam Lambert released the trippy house tune "Ghost Town" as the lead single from his upcoming third album, The Original High. In a new interview with Billboard's Pop Shop Podcast, Lambert says that the similar titles of Madonna's single and his own new track are just a strange coincidence -- although that coincidence did make him panic when he initially realized that the Queen of Pop had her own "Ghosttown" to release.

Adam Lambert has recruited the legendary Queen guitarist Brian May to feature on a track from Lambert's forthcoming album The Original High.
Acccording to Noise11 Ferry is set to appear on the track 'Lucy' on Lambert's hugely anticipated new LP. Lambert was recruited by the remaining Queen members to embark on a worldwide tour in 2012 to perform the classics. Upon landing the 'dream job' Lambert was adament he wasn't there to 'replace' iconic frontman Freddie Mercury. "There's never going to be another. I'm trying to keep the memory alive, and remind people how amazing he was, without imitating him."
The pair are clearly fond of each other and are continuing to work together after a string of live arena dates around the UK in January 2015. Guitartist Brian May praised Lambert as "a gift from God." Going on to explain "Adam is the first person we've encountered who can do all the Queen catalogue without blinking."

How to buy "Ghost Town"
Make sure you but GT from iTunes. It is the real time music chart that matters the most.
If you want to buy more than one copy, you have two options:
1. Send an iTunes gift to people who you know will accept your gift. It only counts as a sale if you download it. I am a fan of real gifting because it spreads the music around.
2. If you don’t want to deal with gifting, you can buy a second copy from Amazon and maybe from a few more places that report. There are 28 places in the US that sell digital music: whymusicmatters.com/find-music plus Adam's official store.
