I am blown away with how well the album is doing worldwide, including the US! Eachh song is a real gem. Love seeing those great UK fans meeting Adam at the signing. He is such a doll with everyone.
Can't wait to see Fairy Land. Sounds like Adam did a great job.I hope it gets a distributor for theater release or possibly a release on a major streaming service like Netflix.

High drama Adam Lambert has never shied away from being his authentic self, and he’s not about to start now On a bright, bitter cold day in Park City, Utah, Adam Lambert trudges to a photo op, stepping carefully around icy patches of the sidewalk.Even bundled in a knee-length puffer coat, he’s giving glam and can’t help but catch the eyes of passersby, many of whom cut through snow to get closer, to ask the former American Idol contestant for an autograph.Lambert pauses to offer warm hellos, but the life of a rock star never stops moving — except when our entourage nearly collides with a marriage proposal.“Oh my gosh, congratulations,” he says excitedly to the newly affianced couple. The eyes of both widen as they realize, “Wait, Adam Lambert’s the first person to tell us congrats!” As if their special moment wasn’t already memorable enough.This kind of random celebrity run-in isn’t uncommon in Park City — at least not this particular week, when the Sundance Film Festival takes over the scenic ski town with independent movie premieres and the kinds of intimate yet star-studded parties that typically only happen in Hollywood.But even when every third person you walk by is a famous actor, there’s an undeniable rush in encountering a larger-than-life artist like Lambert, who’s loud and proud style of performance has been blowing minds and raising eyebrows for nearly 15 years.It’s here at Sundance that Queerty catches up with the rocker, on the eve of his dramatic film debut and the release of a brand-new album. Fittingly — nestled between the towering peaks of Utah’s Wasatch Mountains — Lambert’s ready to take his career to some thrilling new heights. “Even though I’m not writing the songs, I’m still getting to flex my creativity,” says Adam Lambert of his new album High Drama.“I think I understand my brand more than I ever have,” says the singer-songwriter, who turned 41 at the end of January. “I’m known for being over the top, theatrical, camp, and all that sh*t. I love to put a wild outfit on, wear my makeup … everyone knows when it’s me walking by.”It’s with that mentality that Lambert has assembled his fifth solo studio album, High Drama — a soaring, shimmering selection of cover songs that burst with new life thanks to inventive arrangements and goosebump-inducing vocals, which remain as powerful as ever. Lambert lays out the criteria for the track list: “Is it a song that I love? Is it a song I feel like I can reinvent and change drastically? And, thirdly, is it ‘high drama’?” he adds with the appropriate flair.
Since the early days of the pandemic, Lambert has been hard at work on a long-brewing original rock musical that he’s keeping under wraps until the time is right. The cover album presents an avenue to tide his fans over, all while allowing Lambert to do what he loves most: perform.
“Even though I’m not writing the songs, I’m still getting to flex my creativity,” he says, citing the tight-knit team of collaborators who helped bring the covers together, including, among others, producers Tommy English and Andrew Wells. “It just sounded like a fun challenge, and I knew it was something we could quickly put out for fans and be proud of. We did it fast and hard,” Lambert says, laughing, “and I’m so happy we did.”
High Drama’s concept was partially inspired by Lambert’s performance of Cher’s “Believe” at the 2018 Kennedy Center Honors — a soulful rendition of the Goddess of Pop’s best-selling hit that had everyone in tears. Even Cher.
