It makes absolutely zero sense the believe that this is related to some faux contract dispute. Adam already released an album, in 2009. He's also released numerous EPs and a DVD.

The fact that Welsford is just NOW asserting this conflict speaks volumes, especially on the heels of his failed attempt to exploit Adam's name with the release of BFM and the subsequent squashing of same by TPTB within Adam's camp.

This is much ado about nothing but obviously Adam and his team would want to clear it up before proceeding with the release of his new music because they do not want that becoming the focus of all the interviews that should be focused on the new album. Better to resolve fully and then start promoting because they can issue a statement and then stipulate that they will not be commenting further without looking like they are hiding something.

See what fucking happens when I decide to get a good nights's sleep?? *siiiigh* First of all, I do NOT think the delay has anything to do with the quality of material, as evidenced by these tweets this morning. These people don't HAVE to say that, if anything, they have a rep to maintain w their readers/viewers/listeners. They can easily tweet and say, "Had a lovely meeting! Very nice guy ..." I have the utmost confidence in the quality of the album. It's the rollout that takes an assload of time and coordination.

Adam has kept in the public eye. The EMAs was seen by millions and no, the "mainstream press" in U.S. didn't cover, but like Q3 said, they never do unless scandal is involved. I mean they go on and on about Lindsey being in jail for five minutes. Talk about someone without a career, yet she's in mainstream press every freaking day for being a train wreck.

The saturation they're doing w UK music peeps right now is laying a strong foundation and thus IS going to be a worldwide rollout. Do I think some of the issues might be a result of bastard album? Yes, at least indirectly, as everyone had to get sidetracked with it. Like a dastardly villain spreading thumbtacks in the road in a cartoon or something.

Adam has NOT been out of the public eye; he has media mentions constantly. Yes, they're entertainment media, but that would be the same w album regardless. The lawsuit IS scandal and lol, it's getting him mainstream mentions. Really doesn't bother me that much, because it's BSand nothing they can do about his AI success now.

Now, my HUGE damage in this is another (at least) two months of the doomsayers saying, "I told You So," and more angst, unknowing, worry, speculation, day-counting, second-guessing and code/clue reading. And no, I'm not even pretend that I will be able to not follow it, just like a football junkie stops watching in mid-season because things aren't going well. That part is going to suck unless he becomes much more forthcoming - like allowing these tweets and having the articles and interviews. That takes the sting off the news substantially for me. Well, I guess when single drops, we'll switch to the angst of spins, adds and numbers-watching. That's been delayed, anyway. :\
