This just popped up in my email describing his new EP:
Audacious New EP AFTERS To Be Released July 19 First Two Tracks “Lube” and “Wet Dream” Out May 31
GRAMMY-nominated international superstar and LGBTQ+ trailblazer Adam Lambert ushers in his boldest and most unapologetic era yet with today’s announcement of his new EP, AFTERS, set for a July 19 release via The Orchard. Fans will get the first taste of the new project on Friday, May 31 when Adam will release two songs from the EP – “Lube” and “Wet Dream” – ahead of his WeHo Pride performance. Both tracks are now available to pre-save.
An exploration of sexuality and liberation, AFTERS captures the essence of modern queer culture with pulsating beats and sultry lyrics.
Discussing his inspirations for the EP, Adam says, “Creating AFTERS has been such a liberating experience as I chose to craft an EP of house music that’s unapologetically queer and sex positive. I throw many house parties and my aim was to create a soundtrack inspired by wild nights, giving a voice to our communities’ hedonistic desires and exploits. Feeling more confident than ever, I wanted to get shamelessly raw and real with the listener. AFTERS is meant to make you move, sweat, fantasize and connect!”

Well stated jujubee2. Not going to lie but it makes me a bit sad but I hope it will soon pass. And we will get something new a bit after Pride. You can't really go back in time and have something that may have worked at twenty, work at 40. Not sure what Adam wants his legacy to be but many in the media view him as a rock star/pop star with charisma, sex appeal, class and talent. I'm not even sure he is still with a label. This era feels a bit tawdry and sorta like some of those theme parties or photos where he (and Joey) looks a bit out of place but has to participate, lol. His community is important to him but many LGBT fans in all parts of the country/world look to him as a successful and great representative. And I don't think most of them or his fans need or want crass/vulgar from him. Or want him to be Troye or LNX or the new Sam Smith. This reminds me of his friends from the Zodiac Club days in 2004 trying to curb his desire to wear something on his head with flames shooting out for a performance, if I remember correctly. Well, we all know Adam will do what he wants regardless of our opinions.

The countries seemed to have submitted videos of their performances in February and this month from what I have seen. The semi-finals will be held on May 7 and May 9, 2024, while the Grand finale will take place on May 11 in Malmo, Sweden. Here's Golan's audition with Rise Up. She reminds me of Beverly Knight, only the notes seem to flow as easily as they do from Adam. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc62eDAeHTg

That show was hilarious. Russell was definitely out there and Kristen (?) delivered some great lines while Adam seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself. Don't know if anyone is interested in Eurovision but I wanted to share a video I just saw from Israel with Eden Golan as the singer. I kept envisioning Eden and Adam performing a song together. Her voice is amazing and I believe she had some classical training as well. Let me know what you all think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJYn09tuPw4

Oh, Lord! That photo above is t die for. Sheer beauty. Eyes perfect, face perfect. Hair, short but perfect. Faint hint of a smile, perfect. The gene pool that Adam swam in before he was born was a mixture from the gods. Adam looks so HANDSOME!!!! The shape of his lips does it for me. If this is the No Botox look, please keep lips au natural because they look FABULOUS! If this is all due to Editing, still like the lips better than overblown ones. LOL

It seems that the condition of jealousy can get out of hand when someone is insecure and they project that when being a fan by dissing another artist.
Isn't this the night when Lady Luck will be attending QAL? So excited for her! Haven't seen any posting recently but hope she gives us a review tonight.

Adam shared a couple of posts re the situation in Israel, and while his intentions are good, I believe he isn’t fully informed. I agree whole-heartedly with the notion that one atrocity should not lead to another, but the post that was shared here states as a fact that fleeing Palestinians were bombed by Israeli forces. That has not been corroborated, and there is another theory that says the road had been boobytrapped by Hamas, as they are known to do. It is sad that a post which presumes to bring clarity, recites what could amount to Hamas propaganda. I hate to bring politics to this board, but this post, like all others I’ve seen, does not offer an alternative and better course of action. Adam also reposted an ultra orthodox Jew saying how Jews and Arabs had always lived peacefully side by side, until Zionism came along. While it may be so, his underlying conclusion is that Zionism is bad and Israel should not exist. He’s part of a section of the Ultra Orthodox that believe Israel should only be resurrected at the coming of the Messiah. I’m quite sure that is not Adam’s position. http://instagram.com/p/Cyc1JINgz8z thank you for your post, katycake. Frankly, I am surprised and appalled by Adam reposting that nonsense. Coming here late today, I share your dismay over Adam's choice of quotes in expressing his sentiments about Israel. I was heartened to read your firsthand response with clarification, katycake and your reaction, nica575. The propaganda spin has been going full force since the day after the massacre and will only be amplified.

Katycake- please take care. So hoping these attacks don’t spread north to your area. This is not a political statement. Just expressing concern for our longtime Adamtopia member. Thank you so much! Seems like we're in for a war. Let's hope for quiet times soon. I love coming here and experiencing some normalcy My heart sank when I turned on the news this morning. Hoping this ends soon and all the people are brought home safely. Stay safe.
