NEW INTERVIEW - Roses, Stranger You Are (Live), Loverboy (Live), and FYE videos embedded in article. STACKAdam Lambert chats lustrous new album ‘Velvet’Adam Lambert VelvetAdam Lambert’s second album was the first by an openly gay artist to top the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. Now boasting a decade-long career as a recording artist, he sits down with STACK to discuss collaborating with Nile Rodgers and “working with more queer people” to create the funky, soulful feel of Velvet, his lustrous forthcoming fourth LP. When Queen + Adam Lambert played Sydney’s ANZ Stadium during their recent Rhapsody tour, the scheduled start time was delayed due to a downpour. “We didn’t have any rain during the actual show, which was great – it was a blessing,” Lambert admits while sinking into an adjoining couch in the living room of his luxe Crown Towers hotel suite (and, yes, the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows is fab!). “We still have the structure that we had built down on the B-stage; it was like a very ugly gazebo. Unfortunately it was a bit of an eyesore, but Brian [May] didn’t want to get his guitar wet, because that guitar is very precious.” The fo llowing day, Queen + Adam Lambert took to the very same stage for Fire Fight Australia (a benefit concert to raise funds for national bushfire relief) – reprising Queen’s 1985 Live Aid set – and Lambert admits that the setlist “was something [they] wanted to keep a surprise”. “We’ve opened up a whole new fanbase with the movie [Bohemian Rhapsody],” Lambert enlightens. “Now we’re seeing a lot more young people at the shows, families – it’s so exciting but, yeah! It’s like I have to win over new people now, which is a good challenge, you know? It’s funny to see how people were really protective of Freddie after the film and I love that, actually; he deserves that, his memory. I love that he’s at this icon status and he’s a hero, you know? I think it’s really beautiful to see that. I like that people get defensive of him, because I get it. Like, I get it! Hallowed ground. I’m doing my best. “Freddie was unbelievable,” Lambert extols. “I’ve watched Freddie and instead of copying him it’s more like, ‘Well, what was he trying to get across?’ you know what I mean? Like, ‘What was the idea here?’ That’s what I try to focus on.” < Roses video > During a day off from Queen duty in Melbourne, Lambert is here to spruik his upcoming album, Velvet. His energy is welcoming and we immediately sense that no topic is off limits. Lambert sports a long-sleeved taupe shirt with “Smokin'” embroidered above the left breast pocket (accurate), Gucci GC pattern trousers, trainers with leopard-print trim and slightly tinted designer sunnies with bedazzled frames (want!). He says he approached the creation of his fourth studio album with a clear intention. “I just started to realise over the years – now having some experience under my belt – that pop music can become dated so quickly, and also if you’re so busy chasing some sort of trend, or if you’re chasing chart positions and streams – and all the business side of the music thing – it’s really easy to lose the integrity,” he shares, “and I consciously was like, ‘Okay, I need to shift my priorities a little bit, and really make this album for myself first and foremost. And just make it something that I love, that I would want to listen to’… And so that’s what drove it.” The first single to be lifted from Velvet was Roses, featuring the unmistakable funk of Nile Rodgers. “We’ve worked together before,” Lambert reveals. “He and I and Sam Sparro wrote a song together called Shady, on Trespassing, and he was so lovely to work with. After that, I did some stuff with him: I went and sang with him and Chic at a couple of different events, and he and I wrote a song with Avicii called Lay Me Down that was on that big Avicii album [True]. We have a collaboration relationship now. And so I wrote this song with Fred Ball and some other guys, and it was cool, but it was like, ‘It needs a groove,’ so we rang up Nile and he said yes! He transformed it. He made it dance. He made you wanna groove to it.” More.. stack.com.au/music/music-interview/adam-lambert-chats-nile-rodgers-collab-lustrous-new-album-velvet/

sternAdam Lambert wants to be a role model as a homosexual artistAt the beginning of his career, he was advised to "downplay" his sexuality. Adam Lambert is happy that times have changed.
US pop star Adam Lambert ("Whataya Want From Me") wants to be a role model for others by dealing openly with his homosexuality.
«I hope that I am showing that I am proud of who I am and who I am. It's not something I want to hide or downplay, »said Lambert of the German Press Agency . His fans should know about it because they could identify with it. "As confidently as I handle my sexuality in the spotlight, it may also help someone who feels they have to be strong."
At the beginning of his career, he was advised to "downplay" his sexuality, reported the 38-year-old, who became known in 2009 by participating in the casting show "American Idol". "That was recommended to me because it made people uncomfortable or because they didn't think it was marketable," said Lambert. «I think in the past you sometimes had to look good to play bad so that you had a chance to get your music out. You had to endure that as a homosexual artist. »
Lambert was relieved that times had changed. «It's nice to live in 2020. We have come a long way in ten years, »said the musician, who is also the front man of the rock band Queen (« Bohemian Rhapsody »). On Friday Adam Lambert released his new solo album “Velvet”, on which he sings about “relationships, sex, love and all that stuff”. "It is interesting to know that I am a gay man."
