After hearing the additional songs’ snippets I can’t bring myself to listen to the full songs. That’s the first for me. BUT the good news is that I can put this music on when my kids are visiting, I’m 100% sure they’ll love it. (although the “cvnty” thing would create a conversation  ) |

Well, to quote Adam: "I just want to feel somethin'. Guess it's better than nothin'." I'm not naive about how these songs and albums are counted and rated. Spotify and YouTube carry more weight apparently. But it's just nice to see Afters and the songs do well on itunes, too. I really didn't expect it.

I am trying to post a picture Adam drew of Germany and the Kit Kat club in February of 2012. I hope he gets the part in Canerwt Adam did party at the KitKat Club here in Berlin during his time here with Hair. That club was an eye opener for him and I‘m sure that experience has something to do with him taking on that role. In this interview from Germany he talked a bit about that time, it’s towards the beginning of the interview, within the first couple of minutes. Unfortunately I can’t find the more detailed stories, that I‘ve heard or read from him right now. youtu.be/Zgn65YsyLdg?si=r5ZgD0KgWbl1WW1p |

Adam Lambert Was Once Scared of Pushing Boundaries. Not Anymore: 'I Don't Have Anything to Lose' (Exclusive)"It's an EP that hopefully sets the mood," Lambert tells PEOPLE of his new six-track project 'Afters,' which was inspired by "bedroom conversation"
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(749x0:751x2):format(webp)/Adam-Lambert-new-album-tout-071824-ae248b3ba64b4a39aa1b6da17939616e.jpg)
Adam Lambert is unapologetically embracing his sexy side.
A little over a year after releasing his last album High Drama, Lambert is back with his new EP, Afters. The "hedonistic and unfiltered" project of House/EDM music sees Lambert, 42, exploring his sexuality and capturing the "essence of modern queer culture" in a six-track extended play.
"So often in the past, I'll be in a writing situation and you're with a couple of songwriters and you're all trying to come up with a rhyme to something, and my silly little dirty mind will come up with a naughty little lyric," Lambert tells PEOPLE exclusively. "And then we all laugh and go, 'Oh, no, no, we can't put that in there. That's too much.'"
"And so with this one, it was like, 'No, let's do it. Let's do the naughty rhyme,'" he continues of the EP, out July 19. "It just felt like I was finally going, 'Yeah, let's do it.'"
Lambert's idea for Afters came about after the pandemic allowed him to "hit the pause button."
"I spent so many years on tour and working, heavily focused on my career, that once the pandemic happened... it allowed me to sort of recalibrate a bit and reprioritize certain things," he explains. "The couple of years that have followed have been great. I've been able to have a bit more of a personal life for a little while, and I'm in an amazing relationship and we socialize a lot and put on a lot of parties and we go out, and I just wanted to make music that sort of reflected that experience, that reflected that reality."
Though Lambert is no stranger to high drama and showmanship, he says the EP is rooted in reality and "pretty authentic to certain experiences that I've had."
"It's not afraid to lift the veil a little bit," he explains. "This is a bedroom conversation... It's an EP that hopefully sets the mood and makes people feel inspired to be sexy — whatever that means to you. Whether it means you're going to hook up with somebody, a stranger; whether it means you're going to have an amazing night with your partner that you're already with; whether it means that you're going to stay single, liberated and just feel powerful. It's meant to make you feel a certain kind of way."

While he's pushed boundaries before, Lambert says this album is unlike any project he's done as he was able to explore "new parts" of his voice, including "lower" and "moodier stuff."
"It's definitely not as much about, 'Hey, look what I can do.' It's not like a show-off kind of energy," he explains. "It's more of a, 'Look at the mood that I can set.' That was sort of more of the goal. It was creating an energy. It was creating a vibe."
With songs like "Lube", "Wet Dream" and "CVNTY", Lambert also knows fans may see a parallel to other major artists — and they happen to be ones that have inspired him in his career.
"There's an audience out there that responds positively to someone saying, 'I'm going to do what I want,'" he says. "Some of my favorite artists have been artists that had pushed buttons and were provocateurs. Look at Prince, look at Madonna, look at George Michael after he got busted, he leaned into it. He was like, 'I'm going to make this part of my art.' And I've always really admired that spirit of pushing things and saying what others might not."
In fact, that inspiration became so clear that Lambert even says a friend who listened to the EP told him, "'This is totally your Madonna sex book. This is your moment,'" he recalls, adding how the end of his final track, "Face," also "reminds me of Madonna 'Justify My Love'."
"It kind of gives that sound, and that made me really happy," he adds. "I was like, oh my God, we've kind of accidentally created that vibe."

Adam Lambert breaks down the raunchiest lyrics on ‘Afters,’ reflects on 15 years of ‘For Your Entertainment’ Adam Lambert just out-gayed himself.
We realize that’s saying a lot for the guy who was introduced to the world on American Idol with an audition to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and who, later that same year, made headlines when he dared to kiss another man on stage during a televised performance at the American Music Awards.
But once you give the singer-songwriter’s brand new EP, Afters, a spin—filled with uninhibited, addictive, club-ready bangers—you’ll see we what we mean. This is exactly (in Lambert’s words) how a homo take it home.
While Lambert might sound especially fun and feisty on tracks like “Wet Dream” and “Cvnty,” that freedom to be his gayest self possible was hard-won. Since publicly coming out in 2009—hot on the heels of finishing in second place on Idol—he’s managed to forge a multi-faceted career on his own terms in spite of constant pushback from gate-keepers and pearl-clutchers trying to tell him he should behave a certain way.
So, even if some of his long-time fans gasped at hearing the lyrics “gonna make you nut” in early single “Lube,” Lambert’s more than comfortable with a little shock and awe by now.
Afters‘ pulsing six-track run will definitely leave you feeling shocked and awed—and plenty of other feelings we can’t mention here. With the EP available to stream, we sat down with Lambert to talk about his lifelong love of dance music, and to reflect on the upcoming 15th anniversary of his debut album, For Your Entertainment.
In the video interview below, watch as we have Adam Lambert explain some of the wildest lyrics from Afters, then scroll down further to read the rest of our conversation with the star who will forever be our idol.
When most artists say they’ve made their “most authentic and honest” music yet, you expect these intimate, stripped-down songs—maybe just vocals and guitar or piano. But your version of “authenticity and honesty” is a new EP full raunchy, gay bangers. What does Afters mean to you, a what does it say about the real Adam Lambert?
So, what dawned on me in that moment was: Where are the rules? Because I think, for a long time, it felt like there were more, and now it feels less so. Not only do I feel like, personally, I’ve been in the game a long time and I’ve earned the right to sort of throw certain rules out the window, but I also just think the game has changed. The way that we can put music out and get it right to our fans and right to a specific audience is different than it used to be. There were a lot of gatekeepers that ran the show. And, for a gay man, it was always a bit of an obstacle course—especially back in 2010 when I released my first project. Some of that first chapter—of dealing with pushback and homophobia and apprehensive business people—it created a teeny bit of PTSD in me, in a way. But we don’t have those gatekeepers anymore; we have social media and streaming, where you can put out whatever the f*ck you want, and get it to the people that want to hear it. And I just felt really ready to follow my instincts on that.
I want to write music that’s that’s kind of overtly sexual, and hopefully makes you feel powerful when you’re listening to it, inspired, maybe a little horny, maybe a little bit like, “Yeah, this is what I want to listen to when I go to an afterparty.” And, also, it’s funny! It’s fun! It’s fun to put “‘Gonna make you nut” in the chorus of the song— that made me smile and chuckle. And I think if you get it, you get it. If you don’t, you don’t. You know?
