Adam Lambert to Release Acoustic Album 'Around Thanksgiving'

Adam Lambert revealed plans to release an acoustic album "around Thanksgiving time," breaking the news during a videotaped interview with Australian personality Dylan Lewis.
"There is going to be an acoustic CD," the "American Idol" runner-up confirmed. "I don't have an exact release date. Probably around Thanksgiving time -- November, December." Lambert is the second high-profile pop star to announce such a project this week, after Justin Bieber confirmed a Nov. 23 release date for his own acoustic album on Twitter.
Lambert explained that the acoustic tracks were recorded as he traveled to promote his debut album, 2009's "For Your Entertainment." "We went around Europe in the earlier part of this year...and we did a lot of promo, so I had Monty my guitar player, and my drummer at the time," Lambert explained. "We just did very stripped-back versions of the songs, then we also recorded some of the stuff from the actual Glam Nation tour, so it'll be a mix of both."
As for a proper sophomore set, Lambert said "there's a new album that's def being theorized...I have things that I'm writing down, little notes that I'm writing here and there, but nothing's started yet on it. But hopefully it'll be out by the spring or summer of next year.
Asked about which artists he'd like to collaborate with next after working with P!nk and Lady Gaga on his debut, Lambert said, "I'd love to sing with Christina Aguilera. I think that would be a real big treat...her voice is power." Lambert added that he's put the request "out there a couple of times, and she may have received the message. [But] I have yet to meet her face to face."
Lambert's "For Your Entertainment" album has sold 744,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Awesome news. I would expect it before Thanksgiving to catch all the Christmas shoppers.
Can't wait!!
I don't quite get it. He said he didn't have enough time for the last album (3 Months).
He'll be doin' GN tour until the end of the year, he hasn't started anything yet as he says for the new album. He says it'll be released around spring or summer. And he says he won't release a new single, in order to not to get too occupied and to have time to work on the new album? That gives him max 1 to 3 months to work on the new album...!!!
What does it mean?!?! I'm worried... :(
Sorry Way OT:
I've friggin livid! Was just looking at Stubhub for possible seat at 12/16 LA show, and they have 25 tickets for the 12/15 show at The Music Box listed already!!!! How the f**k is this possible? Ticketmaster says they are not on sale yet.
SERIOUSLY....WTF PEOPLE???? There is some serious bullshit that goes on with these ticket sales. I'm furious!
...And Anon 2:16, he's gonna release an acoustic album which will need a lot of promo itself! I don't get it either!
Maybe the 3 month period last time wasn't enough because he was also doing the idol tour and since he will be free this spring, he will be able to put 100% on the new album. IF it will be released summer. I don't know about the spring comment, I'm puzzled!
Sounds like the same BS from all these shows. I read a story about how all this works, and it's about par for all artists. Hopefully, when Adam is doing bigger venues less of this will happen. Forgot what I wanted to say. Oh yeah, Hope the Acoustic DVD available through Fan Club site. BTW, not sure, but think the only thing Adam has a say in are the M&G's, not ticket sales--Venue usually in charge of that and the Co. they put in charge of selling seats.
People where is Adam ??

Off Topic:
Does anyone know which song and where the gorgeous photo on Adam lying on the stage in the striped coat is from?
I have yet to find a video of it, and have looked at lots. (It's not Music Again or Strut in Sydney, as someone suggested on that thread.)
I asked on the original post, but I know most people won't go back to that post over and over like I do! (grin)
:)

The acoustic CD is going to be awesome! I've seen some of the YouTube vids he did while on the Europe promo...unreal! My fave is one he did of WWFM in Germany (Berlin?), just him n Monte in a small studio...his voice..WOW! I hope that makes the new CD!! Thanks BB for my early Christmas present :-))
Sweetie, yes me too! Cant find it. Adamluv
To the person who was puzzled about Adam's new CD, he said it would be a mix of recorded acoustic songs from his promo in Europe and some acoustic songs from the glamnation tour. It sounds great!
nancdruuu2
Fantastic news! I can't wait to get a hold of one. I ♥ ♥ ♥ the idea of Adam releasing an Acoustic EP!!! ☺☺☺
TO 2:31 I READ AN ARTICLE REGARDING JINGLE BALL, ADAM IS DOING MIAMI, BUBLEE(?SPELLING) IS DOING NEW YORK.
Adam doing Miami and Phyllys. I guess Q102 ( Phyllys) gonna be at December,8th.
Honestly, I don't care about any puzzles about Adam acoustic CD. I soon as it will be released I go and buy 2 or 3 these CD:)

I also would like to know the song and venue where Adam is lying on tage. I looked at Sydney, Brisbae and Auckland but found nothing. If anyone find it post please.
And, just think, his acoustic CD will have LP on it and no one, NO ONE can tap the tom-toms like LP. Can't wait!!!!!!!
delilah5, just went to q102 and you can still vote. Where did you hear that adam will be at Jingle Ball in Philly? OT but here's a link to AO = http://tinyurl.com/2fzler4 where you can say how much you'd like a GNT DVD. They are sending these messages to RCA. Sounds like a good plan. Adamluv
I think Adam could put out an amazing CD of cover tunes altho he might not want to. (imagine his voice in an accoustic album of love songs..) I am almost getting tired of these same songs on the CD, maybe because I listen to his CD almost daily and watch all the tour videos over and over. I'd like to see the next release be different songs (don't throw tomatoes at me...)
I know everyone's excited about "Sleepwalker" coming out as a single in Australia and perhaps the U.S. and I love it too. However I think "Aftermath" is equally as powerful and considering all that's been happening and the "It Gets Better" spots celebs are doing how appropriate it would be as this song sends a powerful message to everyone! Just a thought...
Agree with 8:13 - Aftermath would be very timely and it's a great song
Beiber is putting out an acoustic album? How can you autotune acoustic? hahaha
Wonder what the tweenies will do when they hear his real voice. hahahaha
God, Sweetie, you don't know what you did to me! I felt compelled to look into my Adam database and search YT in order to answer your question. Couldn't leave my house without knowing that. :-)
Sweetie & Adamluv: Here you are, my darlings.. I think this is it! MA in New Zealand:

Now I can go to protest against my government! LOL. Hoping for a good day today,

ha, ha, thats what I've been thinking since I read that about Beiber, don't you actually have to be able to sing to do acoustic?
HK fan
Ucch, not looking forward to Adam collaborating with Aguilera. He has mentioned this many times over the past year. Frankly, he'd be doing HER a favor at this point. Her last tour had to be cancelled due to lack of ticket sales. If he has put feelers out there and she hasn't responded, then she's an idiot. He could revive her sagging career. But I kind of hope she doesn't respond. I just don't think that many Glamberts are also Xtina fans.
Really wish Adam would head more towards rock/acoustic, and get off the Pop train...
@anon 6:47pm. Phylly's Jingle Ball list was confirmed at October 8th. Very strange it still possible to vote. Adam, Justin B.,Selena, Train and somebody else in line-up.
Thank you for link
delilah5
whoaaaaaaaaa!!! Yay!! Excited!!! :)Bring it on Adam :) Katie
GlammyLadybug, you're an angel!!!
Thank you so much!!
I've even sent both of those to friends...
swak
:)
Sweetie
Very excited to hear the news about an acoustic album. Listening to Adam Lambert in any style is one hundred percent better than most of the stuff that is out there in the music industry today. The man has a set of "pipes" that is phenomenal; it is vocal perfection. Can't wait. Great gift idea for all those Lambert fans out there to give or receive.
Sweetie, you're most welcome.. but, damn, I had to look up for that 'swak' too! LOL.
It was worth it anyway.. Hoping that it's not about 'Society of Women Addicted to Knitting', but about kissing.
:-)) GLb
