Adam sounds in such a good place personally and professionally and that makes me so happy. I never saw him as anyone's victim, even when I wish for more or the best for him. He seems to work his way around any setbacks, disappointments or challenges and moves forward. He is a strong and talented man. Things have not gone perfectly with the album release (it is doing pretty well tho) but he seems to be moving on and doing what he does best. Promote himself. As for US radio play, he has not had a ton of it even when he was on a major. But majors have the biggest say in who gets on the radio in the US and how much. It is not up to the artist of even the DJs. Corporate will decide if they are getting enough from the label favorites and priorities to play ball. So if he gets any radio as an indie that is a plus. But other than Superpower, we don't know if Adam will try with another single. It may change if an artist finds an avenue to blow up on streaming but that is unlikely to happen for Adam. I do think with the positive reviews of his album he could get some Grammy consideration if he avoids pop. The critics are not calling it a pop album so that is a good step towards getting in a non-pop genre. They are mostly calling it funk, glam, rock and soul. Two things that stood out to me in your comment that I agree with. The music business being quite corporate, and despite that reality Adam might have a shot at The Grammys if he doesn't go "pop". I had not thought about the latter yet.

LOVED the interview from HuffPost Australia. Adam appears to be quite open and honest about where he's at right now, and I agree that his music supports all of that and resonates. Good to know that he is in the right headspace to find love again. I wish him the very best. It might actually not be a bad thing for him to "re-group" a little while social distancing. I'm sure it's a good idea, not just for Adam, but for all of us to "re-group" a little, while social distancing . . . While we all ponder Adam, I'm thinking it's a worthwhile idea to ponder our lives, our priorities, and our perspectives, as well.
