The global music superstar has new EDM songs and a new album coming out, that is at once dramatic and dreamy — perfect for the Pride season.

Adam Lambert’s Pride festivities started off with a bang when he headlined WeHo Pride during the first weekend in June.

“It was great to see the community out there,” he told The Advocate recently. “It felt like a very supportive celebration, all of us together. You know, I lived in West Hollywood for over 20 years, and I've never performed in Pride, so it was a long time coming, and it felt great.”

For Lambert, attending Pride events began in his early twenties in San Diego, when he attended his first after just graduating from high school. Since then, he’s attended dozens over the years and he’s seen many changes.

“For example, drag was not what it was now. We have so many of our drag superstars in our community who have become such a focal point and an exciting sort of representation of everything we are. And so you see a lot more drag in Pride events which is a great thing.”

Since those early days in San Diego, another element has changed for Lambert. In 2009 he rose to fame, finishing second in the eighth season of the hit show American Idol. Since that time, and over a decade, he’s become a music sensation, selling millions of albums and singles worldwide. Since 2012, he has performed as the lead singer for the iconic rock group Queen. They just completed a global tour late last year, their first since the pandemic.

Now, as a confirmed global superstar, he’s also headlined Pride events. “I did London last year, and have been to Miami, Pittsburgh, and I’m did Mardi Gras in Australia, so it’s such a privilege to be a part of these events all over the place,” he said.

Lambert has noticed a spirit of rebellion that streaks through Pride events. “I think people really feel so much more empowered, and that they can be exactly what and who they are.”

This feeling of empowerment, at least sexually, is front and center in his new music, a collection set to release next month, of EDM songs and a new album. It includes two just released songs, “Lube” and “Wet Dream.” He’s releasing the third song from the EP tomorrow (midnight ET) called “CVNTY.”

“Very subtle,” Lambert jokes. “It’s a little bit of a break from rock and Queen music.”

He continued: “I'm singing about intimacy, partying, hedonism and lust and all the wonderful things that make us…bedroom creatures! It's a lot of fun. It's fast. There's some theatricality to it. It has some drama to it, and it’s dreamy, I think those are the two words that I would give it.”
