10.9.11 Adam News & Info

It’s been noted that Lambert is “taking the reigns” on this album much more so than on his debut, and Corson concurred: “Adam is definitely more involved than ever and I think he's really enjoying that. Those first records when you come off of Idol, the timelines are really tight, so it's an artificial experience. Now he has room to breathe and time, he doesn't have to come off TV, onto a tour and then have an album out for Christmas.”

On the other hand, RCA CEO Peter Edge opined that Idol was the perfect platform for an artist like Lambert. “Adam is a great example [of how] when you're right for that kind of format, it's a fast way to get attention,” he told THR. “I don't know that Adam Lambert would have found it easy to get a record deal, but from the show, you saw how unique he was, what a great voice and great performer he was. That would have been very hard to do through conventional ways.”
So when will his as-yet-to-be-titled full-length possibly see a release date? “February, March -- somewhere in there,” says Corson. “Definitely first quarter.”
