Adam Lambert: 'Hoping to have lots of singles from this album'
Vocal powerhouse Adam Lambert visited 93.3 Frankie and Geena Mornings in San Diego earlier this week and opened up about his new musical direction.
Speaking to the radio station, the superstar explained that this new era, which will see him release new album 'The Original High', began over a year ago and his goal was to create something fans could connect to:
"It started over a year ago and Max Martin and Shellback executive produced the whole thing. It's darker. I wanted to be honest about stuff, you know? I wanted to help people be honest about their lives... and be like, 'OK, yeah I've been through that, but you know what? I'm not alone. This guy's been through it too.' Then the beat drops and you're like, 'let's dance it out and get over it'!"
Lambert added that he hopes this new record will allow him to release many singles and music videos: "Well, not yet - we haven't planned anything yet. If I have my way, there will be a lot of singles off this album. I'll be going around and sharing them with people and shooting music videos, and performing them on TV if I have my way."

Time to cash in your roller coaster tickets!!
A new kind of ride has begun!
5.14.15 by Q3
After 6 years of riding a roller coaster, I think that ride is over. Adam has started a new promotional cycle (AKA Era 3) and the bumpy, chaotic promo world built by 19/RCA is over. I am not saying that it is going to be a straight uphill ride but I think that it will be a much steadier, upward movement – and with a lot of spins involved!
***
Yesterday, there were some posts about the Adam fan experience from 2009 – the Idols Live Tour. And looking back makes me recall how much fun we (Adam fans) had during that tour. I realize that I feel the same way now. Anything seems possible.
Yes, that Original High!
Being a fan is not supposed to be work….
If you are not having fun being an Adam fan, please try to recapture the way you felt in the beginning. The best way to help Adam is to have fun and to enjoy the music. He is a performer and we all know he loves a great audience.
If you are looking at radio spin counts instead of listening to the latest interview, think about readjusting your priorities.
If streaming “Ghost Town” is feeling like a job, quit. Instead, why not listen to some music and occasionally listen to “Ghost Town”
You get my point. So stop and get prepared for The Original High.
Some fans are clearly working a bit too hard…
Yesterday, the YouTube counter on the “Ghost Town” Music” video was frozen. It was still frozen when I wrote this and could be frozen for 24 to 48 hours. Longer if the adjustment needs to be really big.
YouTube freezes the count on videos when they are reviewing and potentially adjusting the view count. That is, when they believe that the views are not real eyeballs.
Here is how Google explains it:
Sometimes you might see that the video viewcount isn’t showing all the views you expect. Video views are algorithmically validated to be fair to both content creators and advertisers and maintain a positive user experience. This process assures that the video views are quality views and discards the low quality playbacks.
We want to make sure that all views are validated so during this process the views update less frequently and might occasionally freeze above 300 views to assure quality view count. This is the normal operation in YouTube videos.
YouTube video views are important to all members of the YouTube community – both to uploaders, as well as viewers. Views reflect how many times a video is watched and are an important measure of a video's overall popularity.
This is why we need to verify video views and it takes a bit of time to do so. You will notice the delay caused by the validation process once the video has at least 300 views. At this point, the viewcount may slow or temporarily freeze until we have time to verify that all further views are legitimate.
During the time in which the viewcount appears frozen, valid views will continue to be counted.

Let Adam and his team do their job
Adam has a great team. I am really impressed with what they are doing so far. “Ghost Town” is making great progress on Top 40 radio in the US and is starting to be played around the world. I expect to see the airplay ramp up a bit as Adam heads to Chicago, New York (Z100 ) and Boston. Looks like Miami's big station Y100 is on board. They've got this one.
Fans can help in a number of ways by voting in song competitions, by gifting “Ghost Town” but it is really important for fans to let Adam and his team do their jobs.
Fans have one big job to do
Without his fans, Adam would not be here. Adam cannot be Adam without an audience -- and we are part of that audience. Most of us have been lucky enough to be in the audience for a live Adam performance. All of us have had the chance to be in the audience for his music on radio, online or a video.
I think fans have only one job – to be part of the best audience any artist has ever seen or heard. Go back and listen to the video of the Idols Live Concerts when we thought we were loud, we were a lot louder and wilder at some of the Adam solo concerts I attended.
So join me. Cash in your rollercoaster pass and pick up your free pass for the Carnival Swinger Ride.
(I did not make that name up – it’s what it is called.)

Adam Lambert’s Friend Teases Unnamed Track From ‘The Original High’ On Snapchat
By: Mike Wass / May 13, 2015
Gray Joey [real name unknown] is one lucky dude. Not only did he have the pleasure of hiking with Adam Lambert (see his beautiful, black-and-white pictures above), he clearly has an advance copy of The Original High. Thankfully, the mystery man likes to share and played a snippet of a previously unreleased — and unnamed — track from the album on his Snapchat. Glamberts don’t mess around, so the video landed on YouTube approximately 3.5 seconds later.
“You got me hooked on you now I’m in trouble, trouble, trouble,” the 33-year-old croons over gloomy synths. It’s hard to get a handle on a song in 10 seconds, but it sounds like Adam is serving deeply textured pop music on The Original High. The content has (thus far) been raw and autobiographical — but still incredibly catchy and relatable. If you need yet another reason to get excited about the heartthrob’s third LP (due June 16), take a listen below.
Gray Joey’s Snapchat video was here but is now private.
(The video was 0:08 of an unreleased track from The Original High.)

How to buy "Ghost Town"
Make sure you buy "Ghost Town" 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.
Q3 recommendation: If you still are planning to buy copies of "Ghost Town" wait until after The Ellen Show performance. Buy when it is moving back up the iTunes chart.
