Just received a release date for "Better Than I Know Myself"!

LiamMcEwan Liam McEwan
Sorry peps, would love to say it, but I think that should be up to Adam!

SOOOOO. Jason and I heard it FIRST. Adam Lamberts new single "Better Than I Know Myself" and its FIRE. It totally brings it back to vintage Lambert and reminds me of his original and amazing hit "Whataya Want From Me" but has that new, fresh feel to it. And, I mean...isnt that what we want from our favorite artists? Keep it classy but fresh all at once? Welp, he succeeded.

The lyrics and melody is great,you can sing along to it, feel the energy and sultry vibe to the song.

He has such passion in all of his music and this just seriously exceeds expectations. We cant post the audio just yet, but the second we can you guys will hear it!!!!

So, Lambert fans.....Keep eyes and ears open for this one. You wont be disappointed.

xoxo

@adamlambert Thanks so much for the retweet — hope you liked the piece! Also, your fans are mind-blowingly passionate. Really inspiring!

Are these amazing @adamlambert fans seriously going to push me into 1000+ followers territory? My @klout is going to skyrocket!

My sources tell me that "Better Than I Know Myself" is a piece of flaw-free radio candy, a stunning midtempo with a powerhouse chorus
11.08.11 by Sam Lansky in Celebrity, Music

Oh, hey there! I'm Sam Lansky, and this is Pop Think where I write about political unrest in developing nations and subtextual themes in the short fiction of Anton Chekhov. LOLOL, just playin'! We're talkin' 'bout pop music, y'all, which is actually the most important thing in the history of ever.

This week is officially (i.e., not officially) Adam Lambert appreciation week, because I've declared it so! Also, because anticipation is running high for the Idol alum's happening-any-day-now comeback single, "Better Than I Know Myself," and sophomore album, Trespassing.

But seriously, Glambert is back in business, and this is a very good thing. So don't trip off the glitz that he's gonna display -- sit back and listen, because that Lambert reign is just kicking off.

Since rising to fame as a contestant on the eighth season of "American Idol," Adam Lambert has enjoyed a level of fame that most Idol alumni only dream of: His debut album, For Your Entertainment, debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200, and his Pink-penned single "Whataya Want from Me" cracked the Top 10 and earned him a Grammy nomination. With writing credits from A-list stars 'n scribes like Dr. Luke, Lady Gaga, and Ryan Tedder on his first album, it's no wonder that Glambert's record got so much attention.

That album, though, probably deserved even more praise than it received; releases from Idol vets aren't always as sophisticated and, well, entertaining as For Your Entertainment was, from its ironic '80s glam-queen cover art down to the crunchy pop hooks that comprised its many stellar songs. But Adam's promotion of the album was fearless and ferocious, with controversial performances and his always-glamorous image giving a spectacular visual counterpart to the already-impressive sonic onslaught.

This makes news of his upcoming album all the more exciting, given his track record for pop excellence. For lead single "Better Than I Know Myself," Adam's teamed up again with Dr. Luke and Claude Kelly, who helmed the title track from For Your Entertainment together as well as little ditties you might've heard like Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A.," Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You," and Britney Spears' "Circus." My sources tell me that "Better Than I Know Myself" is a piece of flaw-free radio candy, a stunning midtempo with a powerhouse chorus that's like a pumped-up "Whataya Want From Me," and it should cement Adam's place in the pop A-list.

But more than that, Adam's also worked with some other top industry hit makers on Trespassing, the sound of which he described as "existential pop" (squee!), saying that it has "a thread of honesty in that it's real and personal" (double squee!). The title track was produced with Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes, who also helmed one more track on the album. Other collaborators include the consistently amazing Sia, who cut several tracks with Christina Aguilera on her last album and Evan "Kidd" Bogart ("Halo" by Beyonce, anyone?).

The best news of all, though, as far as I'm concerned, is that Trespassing will bear the mark of my #1 music industry crush Bonnie McKee (who I recently spoke with about Katy Perry's album), the gloriously talented popsmith du jour responsible for Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" (among many epic hits). On the red carpet of the BMI Awards, Bonnie said, "Adam has the biggest range [of any singer] I've ever worked with, so I can write big melodies and he can really deliver on them." Dude -- when Bonnie McKee says "big melodies," you know she means business.

Adam's transparency about his personal life makes him an important role model, and in an era where divas dominate on the radio (and pop's last bastion of male superstardom, Justin Timberlake, is off chasing thespian dreams and ignoring our suggestions to reunite with *NSYNC), we need a dude like Glambert to bring dignity back to the male pop star. And with this new era, Adam should be bringing it hard. After all, he's doing it for our entertainment.

The Adam + QUEEN rumors continue to swirl around!!

Adam Lambert In Talks To Become New Lead Singer Of Queen

Queen stars Roger Taylor and Brian May are in talks with American Idol star Adam Lambert about becoming the rock supergroup's new frontman.

The rockers teamed up with Lambert for the 2009 American Idol finale and again at the MTV Europe Awards last month, where the trio performed a stirring medley rendition of Queen hits The Show Must Go On, We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions, and drummer Taylor admits he's a big fan of the gay star.

He tells Billboard.com, "He has grown into a really great performer with an astonishing voice with a range that's great. We would like to work with him again. There's nothing signed just yet but we're talking about live dates. It could be very exciting."

I feel a little funny posting this here, in part because it's OT, and in part because it feels a bit like revealing someone's personal stories, although they were of course consciously published by the person in question...so mods, if you deem this inappropriate in some way, please feel free to delete...

Like all of you I loved the Sam Lansky piece on Trespassing, and the astute writing and his subsequent lovely interactions with fans via twitter made me curious about him and his other work. His website is rich and interesting; I particularly recommend the section linked to on the top right called "literary nonfiction" and an article he wrote for The Fix about Britney Spears and addiction. He has a lovely, conversationally direct and very candid style. He is indeed as young as he looks, but perhaps only in years... And something about Lansky's history makes me appreciate the frank pleasure he takes in pop music (ebulliently evident in his piece on Adam) even more. He's a wonderful combination of worldly and yet still open to easy enchantment.

I am so happy to find him on Team Adam.
