Adam Lambert and Conrad Sewell: "Mutual Admiration Society!"

Backstory on this post: I was listening on the radio to a wonderful new single by Kygo, a Norwegian DJ and record producer, called "Firestone," a very poignant song both musically and lyrically. I wasn't sure who the actual singer was because, same as Adam has done for Avicii, it likely wasn't Kygo himself but a guest artist.
I was delighted to discover the singer to be Conrad Sewell, the rising Australian recording artist whom Adam praised on his iHeart Guest DJ broadcast and played his song "Hold Me Up," in addition to having mentioned that they met backstage at a show and later did some songwriting collaboration together.
In researching that collaboration further, I could not find any more details, but I did find several back and forth communication/tweets between Adam and Conrad throughout the summer that we somehow missed....
On May 28th, Conrad tweeted the following:
Then from USA TODAY's "Playlist: What's Adam Lambert Listening To?" which we posted on 24/7 back on June 16th HERE and within which Adam included:
To which Conrad replied:
This was followed on July 14th by Adam:
And Conrad's response:
And that's what I call "Mutual Admiration Society!" And, speaking of Adam's excellent iHeart Guest DJ show —which glitzylady originally posted about HERE back in early June and which is still being promoted on iHeart stations around the country — if you haven't yet listened, you can find it on the iHeart site here:
And something we've never posted before, a list of all the songs Adam plays on that webcast, as compiled by a Russian fan who calls himself/herself The Citizen Vein:
Do note that that there are several current Top 40 songs that Adam does not introduce and likely did not choose, but appear to have been inserted into his broadcast by iHeart's programming department.
To listen to Conrad Sewell's song that Adam loves, "Hold Me Up," as well as the above-mentioned Kygo song "Firestone," which Conrad is featured on, as well as other available tracks, you may find them here:

Hold Me Up, Conrad Sewell
This guy's voice is crazy good! The melody here is super strong and inspiring.
To which Conrad replied:

It is so nice to see some reciprocation back to Adam when he gives one of his shout-outs to a fellow artist. It doesn't happen all that often. Adam is so comfortable with giving praise to others. He doesn't feel threatened by the success of others. His generosity is a great legacy to have.
Yeah at least this one reciprocated. I wished Adam didn't do so much pimping for others when they don't reciprocate.
I find it an endearing quality that he is enthusiastic in his 'likes'. I checked out this song and singer.......I liked his voice and the song. Though, like many songs today, the lyrics are exceedingly repetitive.
