MAX MARTIN AND ADAM LAMBERT work in the studio
"EXCLUSIVE! FABULOUS NEWS: Adam Lambert Signs New Major Label Deal, Max Martin to Executive Produce Album ~ Billboard"
The intro to the article:
"It's said that you can't keep a good man down, but in the case of Adam Lambert, he was down barely 24 hours.
The American Idol season-eight runner-up and current frontman for Queen tells Billboard that he has found a new home at Warner Bros. Records, and that the label got in touch right after news broke that he had split from RCA Records.
"The next day, Warner Bros. contacted us, which I thought was pretty amazing and it was a kind of relief," says Lambert. "It was just a scary thing to make that announcement to the world."
Ever the go-getter, Lambert and his management team at Direct Management Group regrouped and brainstormed, deciding to reach out to Swedish songwriter-producers Max Martin and Shellback. The two first worked with Lambert months after his Idol near-win and the collaboration yielded two hits, "Whataya Want From Me," which reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "If I Had You," which spent 20 weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 30.
"So I scheduled a meeting with Max Martin and Shellback. We started talking about life, politics, fashion, everything under the sun," Lambert recalls. "They said, 'You seem different, Adam,' and I said, 'I feel a little different.' And I just asked them for their help."
Four years after their first sit-down, the trio picked up where they left off, with Martin and Shellback offering to executive-produce the 32-year-old singer's next release, his first under his new multiple-album deal with Warner Bros., due out in early summer...."
And about his new single, out in April!!!
"There have been rumors of Tove Lo guesting, among others. Can you reveal any collaborators? Lambert: I cannot, but I can say the first single will be out in April. I think people are going to be really surprised. The album feels like a new era for me -- emotionally, lyrically, sonically. It feels fresh, it feels new. It's still me. It's still stuff that fans know and love but it's a new chapter 100 percent."
MUCH MUCH MORE to the interview with Adam, so go to this link:

Here it is ... THE BIG NEWS!!
SO happy for Adam! Warner Brothers contacted him 24 hours after he left RCA and he's keep it under his hat all this time. Wow!
He is SET!
xo laura
I was able to read the whole article and I'm ecstatic!!!
My favorite part is in the last paragraph:
"With Trespassing, I learned a lot about radio. I learned a lot about my fans through the years -- the big picture of it and how you have to listen to them. Being on stage with Queen and remembering the most important things about music and performance are the most timeless things: it transcends trend and popularity contests. It is more about truth, emotion, honesty and the connection with the audience, the music and the moment. [The Queen tour] has been good for me on a confidence level. It's made me feel like I'm on the right path, and humbled at the same time."
When Adam first posted the link, the Billboard article was only available to subscribers... And apparently he wasn't one either.. he got THAT straightened out in a BIG hurry!! I was scrambling to keep up with his tweets and first posted the link to the Adam Lambert Fans post..of the same article.. and then Adam made it available to all.. So I scrambled to update the info here!
Never a dull moment in this fandom!!
We've been hearing rumors for a couple of months re the probability that Adam had signed with Warner Brothers Music.. Very strong rumors..
It's awesome to know that he was label-less for only ONE DAY!!
And so excited for THE NEW MUSIC!!!
Congrats Adam!!!!
Just saying this:
ADAM was never down, not for a moment!
It just took the W Bros 24 hours to get their sh... act together, he hee!
ADAM LAMBERT, CONGRATS!
Trust the Bitch, never truer words!
YAY!!!!!
What great news! Finally it's what we have been waiting to hear. This makes my day even better in addition to watching Adam on Idol tonight. Adam must be so happy with the great response to the QAL tour and now releasing the news about new music and album in the summer.
Wow wow!!! Yeah, baby!
(You go, GFG :))
.... And all this time we had been concerned at times thinking Adam didn't had a label till recently. Lol....
Should of known that, of course, he knows what he's doing and is going to make sure he's covered :).
So glad to hear that major label reached out to Adam... And he was pursued. Obviously, the PTB at Warner are smart cookies!
So great!!
What a great day! Hearing about Adam's label, new single and album! I'm so happy for him! Seeing him on Idol tonight - I can hardly contain my excitement! I have given notice to all concerned (i.e. my husband) that I am not to be disturbed during Adam, I mean Idol. So thrilling!
OMG times a million! What great news! Love the fact he was indeed signed immediately after leaving his label. All those who doubted that he was really working with Max M. can now eat their words. There is obviously big faith in Adam. The key is to promote promote promote and get his radio play. TP was very worthy of radio play but didn't get the promotion.
This time will be the charm! Love his comments on how much he has learned over the past few years. The Queen experience has been priceless. Can't wait for that new single in April!!!
I was watching the tweets from Adam fly across my screen and it just felt so personal. I love how he keeps his fans informed but am amazed how he kept a lid on this kind of news for so long! Good for WB for going after him and immediately after hearing the news of his departure from RCA. That says A WHOLE LOT!
Love that guy so much! He is a magnet and I'm stuck.
Thanks for posting the link, glitzylady. It's definitely worth reading the WHOLE ARTICLE & reading where Adam is coming from & the Queen influence.
Got a chance to read the entire article. It was FANTASTIC. Such a good read about Adam, his new writing partners and record deal. This is a MAJOR landmark in his career - and I know we're all more excited than words can say! Adam has matured so much as an artist and young man in a few short years. Can't wait to hear his new single, and experience this incredible journey - celebrating along with him. He deserves this!!! :)
As I thank You, Lord, always for Adam, I thank You for this answered prayer!
And for the continuing more answered prayers for Adam.
I'm humbled.
Well if Era 3 album isn't a huge hit with all this positive publicity, Adam's talent plus top-ranking songwriters, then there's no justice in this world!!
It's Warner Bros Records. Records, not Music.
