Avicii leaves the studio...Nile calls up Adam out of the blue ...kinda begs Adam to come in and help with a track he is working on as he is leaving the next day. Adam agrees...jumps on his treadmill to get the birthday party libations moving through his system. He goes in helps with lyrics, sings it once. BETCHA...the "DETAILS" of how Avicii sets up his contracts was not made apparent to Adam at the late night work session. But, Adam does at some point agree to roll with it ...to have it on the album. At least he gets a few royalties with a writing credit ...for album sales. Something versus nothing! If it flew as a single even better....if not at least Avicii fans may read credits on an album purchase. A pick up of new fans comes in many ways. I love LMD. I strongly doubt that Adam did not know the "details" before he recorded the vocals for LMD. He has been in the music business for a long, long time. Featured artists do not get royalties, songwriters get a royalty share -- and Adam got a piece of every copy of TRUE that sold, worldwide plus a piece of every single sale, plus a piece of the licensing by Lipton, plus a piece of every stream, plus.... In other words, it was more than a "few" royalties. *** Pardon me ...for my use of the words ...." a few royalties" ...without a smilie or a wink face. (rofl)And ...Yes, I assume the "generalities" of contracts are well known to Adam. Did Nile share details of a contract style? Adam may have known the Avicii style of contracts...but details???...the lawyers were probably at home in bed? Adam went for it and I am very happy he got his butt over to the studio.

Q3 is hoping for 250K total sales, cumulative! Not 250 first week!
Also, I do not remember Adam ever saying Brian had "ideas" for Lucy. Just that Brian played the guitar riff. Nile played guitar on Shady. He was not a writer. Same situation. Brian is a performer on the track and it says, "featuring Brian May" on the track listing.

I got a notice from iTunes today via email that the titles were available. I just opened the email and they downloaded automatically to my iPod (that's where I opened the email). Went to my music and there they were. (did that make sense?) Yes, except I didn't pre-order it from iTunes but from his website store. For Underground they emailed a one-time use link to a direct download. Haven't gotten these yet though. Oops - sorry, I misread your post. Long day and my brain is fuzzy - I'm sure someone will have the proper answer

But I thought there weren't any credits for singers on the album. Why is this an issue? Because our dear, sweet, humble Adam has a healthy ego and takes great pride in his work. He likes to be the focus of attention when performing. He wants to be a superstar. He works very hard at it, and wants the recognition. He likes to collaborate with others, he likes to be part of a tribe, but he also wants to be front and center, not the chorus boy in the green hat at the back. We love how down to earth, genuine, and modest Adam is in conversations and interviews. And that is true. But, if anyone believes he has no ego or need to be the center of attention when performing, you probably haven't been around a lot of passionate solo performers. BTW, it is also possibly a reason Adam jokes about being difficult to deal with in a relationship. Like many artists, I imagine that his work, his art, his career, and his goals are his top priorities. In an interview a couple of years ago, Adam admitted that, and said his friends understood because they were the same. I know a number of folks like that. They are not narcissistic or egotistical, in the traditional sense. They are kind, caring, loving people. Their focus is just on their art, sometimes, (or more than some times), to the exclusion of other events and relationships around them. That is what it takes to succeed in the business. Excellently said Cassie!
