OK, so Adam said the Album will describe a Journey of self discovery, of finding your way from a dark place to hapiness. Where do you think ne and fs fit? As i understood him fs is where it started in the drenges and ne is where it "ends", a lighter place? The rest of the songs tell the story in between would be my guess. What do others think? I think NE is not quite at the “end “ of the journey the album will follow. I think there will be a song that visits the idea of a “peace,” a place, even beyond the flush of new love and happiness, to “contentment” (I think Adam has used that word a few times now, lately, to describe where his mind and heart are.). He has also mentioned “smooth sailing” a few times - I can imagine a song/mv that is much “lighter,” maybe inspired by sailing or canyon hikes, hippie-ish, “Earth Daddy,” maybe including his loves (Javi, Pharoah?), another (less “glam”) side of Adam but still also part of who he is. Or not! I also expect a song that is about peace and art coming from self-love, awareness, learning inward, trusting oneself. (I think that because of recent interviews.). Or not!

He's said there are some up tempo songs...various vibes, etc and there are also a couple of what he called "hits" on the album as well. It's going to be really interesting with each song to see the puzzle pieces fit together. He definitely wants to tour this music, has promised a tour and has said the Velvet music really works live so I feel sure he'll make that happen sometime in 2020.

@j_Kentros: .@adamlambert you don't have to call it Queen. If Brian May and Roger Taylor want to make new music you say yes and find a way to make it work for everyone. The world is running out of icons who still want to be artists.

The world is running out of icons who still want to be artists. This statement may be all well and good but Brian and Roger already tried this once with Paul Rogers and it went nowhere. The Queen fans did not want it. They absolutely want the band to keep playing the original Queen music and I think Adam knows this. I'm sure it's been discussed with the band and so far it's a no. I don't think they want to go down that road again. I would personally love it but it would be a big risk in my opinion. Touring has been so successful why spend months in a studio, besides Adam has his own music.

I'll never understand how some think they know more than Queen and Adam about how they make or don't make new music.. pretty unbelievable,don't ya think?

This is a long article, but interesting about the rise in bio-pics using BoRhap as the gold standard. twitter.com/billboard/status/1131560509852069888A few weeks before the November 2018 release of Bohemian Rhapsody, Brian Monaco, president/global chief marketing officer at Sony Music/ATV Music Publishing, sat down for an early screening of the Queen biopic. Having administered the band’s song catalog for years and licensed many of the group’s biggest hits for the movie, Monaco -- who oversees the company’s licensing of songs for film, TV and ad campaigns -- watched with some trepidation. Almost 10 years in the making, Bohemian Rhapsody had traveled a troubled road: Early in its development, the actor originally cast to play flamboyant frontman Freddie Mercury, Sacha Baron Cohen, had left the film, as had its first director, Dexter Fletcher, only to return when replacement Bryan Singer was fired with only a few weeks of shooting remaining. As Monaco watched Rami Malek, who eventually took the role of Mercury, and the other players portray Queen’s rise to stardom, his skepticism evaporated, particularly during the movie’s finale: Mercury’s 1985 performance at Wembley Stadium for the all-star Live Aid concert. As Malek strutted across the stage wielding half a microphone stand, dressed in a white tank top, faded jeans, Adidas Country running shoes and a studded black leather belt and armband, Monaco marveled not only at the performance but the details of the reenactment: the massive crowd waving and singing Mercury’s trademark “Ay-o’s” back to him; the black grand piano at center stage littered with half-drunk cups of beer and Pepsi. It wasn’t fake and cheesy-looking. “It blew me away,” he says....... It will be interesting to see whether Rocketman will perform on par with Bohemian Rhapsody at the box office. “I hope that the appetite is there,” says Aronson. The picture is rated R (eliminating a big portion of the under-18 crowd) and features Taron Egerton singing John’s songs (as opposed to lip-syncing, which Malek mostly did in Bohemian Rhapsody). Early results are promising. The film, which obtained licenses from both UMG’s recorded-music and publishing divisions, got a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival on May 16......... An analysis of Nielsen Music data by Billboard indicates that biopics and docs do result in streaming and sales bumps in the weeks following their releases -- even when the project in question bombs. In the six months following the debut of Bohemian Rhapsody, on-demand streams of Queen’s music more than tripled compared with the six months prior to its opening -- from 588 million to 1.9 billion. Sales were even stronger, with tracks jumping from 527,000 to 1.9 million units and albums rising 483%, from 184,000 to 1.1 million units. That amounts to nearly $18 million in revenue versus the $4.4 million that Queen’s catalog had earned in the preceding six months, Billboard estimates.
