Adam Lambert on Music Biz Mistakes, Triumphs and One 'Ballsy' Request for Exec Producer Credit (Q&A)

As his second album "Trespassing" is released this week, the "American Idol" season 8 runner-up opens up to THR about music industry lessons he learned the hard way.

The Hollywood Reporter: Your first album was hard to categorize in terms of genre, and since then, music has become very urban- and dance-heavy. Did that factor into your approach as you worked on Trespassing?
Adam Lambert: I actually find it a little irritating how everyone has to classify everything. I don't really get why we do that so much because if you like a song, you like a song. I wanted to make something that was like pure pop. But pop is everything, so what does that mean? I think that on the last album and coming out of Idol, I had a little bit of pressure that I put on myself and maybe from some of my fanbase to have this classic rock fame. There's still a lot of that energy on that album and there's still a lot of that sensibility and spirit, but I think the genre is less exploited.
THR: You also record for a company, RCA Records, that’s fixated on Top 40 success…
Lambert: It's been an interesting experience. And I think going into it the first time, I didn't really understand the business of it much at all. Maybe as a consumer, I did, but not as much as I do now from the inside out. And it definitely does inform you and teach you things. First and foremost, I wanted to write music this time. I wanted to write from my perspective, figure out what I wanted to say and if it fit on the album and the executives liked it, then great, but it came more from me first this time. It's been really cool too, because, yes, it is a business, but I've been working with incredible A&R who's incredible who’s into the sonic sophistication that I think the album has, and my new management [Direct Management Group] has been really fantastic. So I think I have all the necessary tools to kind of be able to accomplish what I wanted to accomplish this time.

Adam's "LA Weekly" cover in HQ FROM @_ninni twitpic.com/9ltel7/full


Adam Lambert: Now 50% More Fabulous

One of the fascinating Angelenos featured in L.A. Weekly's People 2012 issue. Check out our entire People 2012 issue here.

You do not want to mess with the "Glamberts." Adam Lambert's superfans eat up everything written about the singer, and Lord help a writer if it's not 100 percent positive. They will defend their man to the death.

Interestingly, the Glamberts are mostly female, and their feelings for Lambert are decidedly not platonic -- even though he's been out as a gay man since 2009, soon after his American Idol run ended one step from victory.

Adam Lambert Headed for No. 1 on Next Week's Billboard 200 Albums Chart

The Good News: Adam Lambert is vying for his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart next week.

The Bad News: His Trespassing set may only sell around 70,000 to 80,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, May 20, so say industry sources. It could mark the smallest sum at No. 1 on the chart since last August (chart dated Aug. 20), when Adele's 21 sold 76,000 in its 12th nonconsecutive week atop the list, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
