I do not always like Adam's music -- and sometimes the tracks I come to love are not a favorites for me on the first listen -- for example, "Runnin'" crept up on me. I can't even listen to NCOE or BTIKM -- both were not worthy of Adam IMO. NE was love at first listen for me. I love all the layers of vocals and vocals used as instruments and real instruments and that blue baseline. I think that part of this may be what other music I listen to and know. NEs is not a pop or pop rock track so for people who listen to HAC-type music (not me), it is really different. For people who listen to indie rock, blues rock, post-puck, neo-psychedelic rock, and alt, and vintage music (me), this fits right in without being a clone. I am so happy to read comments comparing this track to Black Keys and Arctic Monkeys. I also have noticed a lot of comments on the video from people who look like they are men. All good signs that Adam is in the right place.Good take! I do listen to HAC more than Pop stations but I also like and listen to those that you highlighted. I really love NE now and I feel bad that I let the video throw me off. But if Adam gets radio play, do you think there is a chance that he can get on the alt stations as well as CHR/HAC? I would really love to see that because his music fits. We'll see what happens. I think this song deserves to be heard -- so I hope so.
Adam has had a fair amount of Pop and a lot of HAC airplay, so that and his Idol and Queen connections should help this track on CHR. And many HAC station play Alt music. So my bet is it gets airplay on both formats.
I am interested to see what it does on Spotify over the next week -- and what happens after the Idol performance on iTunes -- because that will influence the radio programming.
And I would love it if Adam got Alt airplay in the U.S. -- that would be surprising. But the comments on this video are also very surprising to me -- in a good way.

Now you guys are making me miss Prince all over again. What a loss for the world of music... Hey, was just thinking ,Whatever would this fandom do if Adam released a video prancing around like the Purple One??????

As Vivian (Julie Roberts) says in Pretty Woman "Don't you just love Prince?!"
KISS by PRINCE
Meant to repost this video with my comment!

I hope his Idol performance is clear as a bell, vocally. The lyrics to this song are important. It will be interesting to see how it is staged. I just want to song to be less orchestrated and more vocally centered.

I just want to song to be less orchestrated and more vocally centered. I think the performance will be killer! I am encouraged that Peter Dyer, who did such a fantastic job as music director for the TOH tour, will be there. He is in the Idol house band this year and since the two already have a good working relationship, Peter will have Adam's back. Great set-up.
