"The former San Diego singer and 'American Idol' alum discusses his new album, touring with Queen and being older and wiser at 33."

Excerpts from the much longer (4 page) article/interview

Goodbye, glam-rock, guyliner, vocal pyrotechnics and glittery, over-the-top theatrics. Hello, musical maturity and comparative understatement.

That may not have been Adam Lambert’s creative mantra, at least not in those exact words, when he was making his new album, “The Original High.” But the 11-song release, which came out Tuesday, is easily the most assured, sophisticated and carefully calibrated work so far by this Indiana-born, San Diego-bred vocal powerhouse. Or, as he declares in one of his new songs: "I'm a grown-ass man."

"As music fans, it’s really easy to think something goes one way, and then you find out it goes the other way. You find out that what’s most surprising is how much business is part of the music business. There are a lot of politics and financial things involved. It’s more complicated than anyone realizes and I’m still learning my way through this. Luckily, I’ve learned a lot and that you have to have right team around you, and I feel I do now."

I seen Adam come out to present. He looked so handsome in his tailed black suite, and patterned white shirt. Most well dressed. He looked fantastic. Love him so much.
