Adam Lambert discovers artistic liberty with new solo album ‘Adam’
Adam Lambert has recently unveiled his latest independent album, named ‘Adam,’ in a move that gives him complete artistic freedom. Reminiscent of legendary artist Frank Sinatra’s autonomy in his creations, Lambert’s journey into producing melodies inspired by the alternative rock and electronic styles that defined his musical upbringing in the 90s and early 2000s has finally come to fruition on his self-owned label.
Diving into the multifaceted realms of his musical expression, Lambert explains the intricate layers of his latest work. He articulates, “This album kind of has a couple different facets musically, you know. I’ve never really wanted to define myself by one genre. I like being able to do more than one thing and try to stitch it together. And I feel confident that this album, like sonically, there is a throughline.” The singer’s embrace of the freedom that comes with being an independent artist has allowed him to reclaim creative control over his musical journey, a decision he celebrates.
Operating from a space of pure instinct, Lambert embarked on a path guided by creative intuition. In his own words, “I was operating on instinct a lot of the time. I was like, ‘I don’t know why I like this one or why I think this is the song, but I just do.’” The traversing of his album’s sonic landscape instigated bouts of self-induced madness, albeit a necessary step towards manifesting the artistic vision embedded within each track. Lambert acknowledges the vibrancy and liberation felt during the throes of the creative process – a liberty that resonates throughout the album.
The introductory singles from the album – ‘Eat You Alive’ and ‘Under the Rhythm’ – provide a glimpse into the contrasting facets of Lambert’s sonic tapestry. While the former boasts a heavier, rock-laden production tinge, the latter serves as a rhythmic jive, complete with a resounding message of resilience and perseverance. The duality showcased in these initial tracks lays the foundation for a transformative listening experience, bridging the gap between varying musical genres and emotional landscapes.
When it came down to selecting his personal favorite track, Lambert found himself consumed by indecision, unable to choose between his sonic offspring. “I stressed the hell – I made myself crazy. Because truthfully, I love them all.” The journey towards self-discovery embedded within each composition prompted Lambert to seek validation from his intimate circle, ensuring that the album’s essence accurately captured the multifaceted persona he embodies.
As Lambert gears up to hit the touring circuit once again, the unveiling of ‘Adam’ signifies a new chapter in his musical narrative. Set against the backdrop of independence and creative rejuvenation, the album promises a dynamic live experience, fueled by the infusion of fresh, evocative music. With a keen sense of anticipation, Lambert embraces the forthcoming journey, eager to share his creative pursuits with audiences worldwide.
