Melty: Hi Adam! So happy to be in Paris?

Adam Lambert, singer: Yes I love Paris! Unfortunately I never stay long.

Compared to Trespassing in The Original High, your last album, a little rock edge tone is felt that emerges, with real instruments, even if you keep a few electro passages. You wanted to go back to something more authentic?

Yes of course ! Let's say I wanted this album really starts from the heart, it's really a story of emotions. So it was important to have organic instruments like a piano, a guitar, which are the basic elements of these songs. The electro side rather allows me to build a mood, an atmosphere to create space and texture to everything. And I love this album because the voice is situated exactly between the two parties, that is the main instrument.

You left your label for this new album, why, and what does it changed for you?

Ah it was just some disagreements in terms of creation. After Trespassing they wanted me to do a cover album of new wave songs of the 80s I thought about it and I said "no, I do not want to do that." Because I'm here to make new songs, MY songs. So I said, "Ok, Peace!" and I left.

In this album you also have a duet with the singer Tove Lo is worshiped. How was it working with her? You knew before?

No, I met in Sweden while we recorded the album. In fact, I lived in Stockholm for two months to make this album. And is one of the first people I was presented there. I fell in love with his song clothes, it's so honest! As I am the same, I think that's why the feeling is past. She's so nice, with a great sense of humor that is easy to work with. We discussed and as it arose many questions of fame and the things that implies, that's how it came the song.

Ghost Town is the first single from your last album, The Original High. It was released in April, almost simultaneously Ghosttown (March 13) Madonna was a coincidence? Were you aware of the release of this song by Madonna?

It was hilarious because we had already chosen the first single to October or November and then we just sent mix. And in December, I see the tracklist on Itunes the next Madonna album and there I see Ghosttown and I say "Whaaat?" For a moment I wondered if I had to single currency and I told my team and they told me "the song is so different, it's good." So I was not very worried. But after I saw that she had also chosen as a single and they left together. It was funny !

Three albums you had the opportunity to collaborate with Bruno Mars, Max Martin, Pharrell Williams, Dr. Luke, etc. Are there other artists you would dream with whom to collaborate?

I would like to work with Gorgon City or Duke Dumont and many other DJ. As for other artists, for sure I would love to sing with Beyonce. Pink too! She wrote Whataya Want From Me so I already had the chance to sing his songs but I would really like to have the opportunity to sing together because it is really fantastic.

You were in January with Queen at the Zenith in Paris before a packed audience, how was it?

It was so cool, there was a great energy! And I think it is because of the shape of the Zenith. We used to play in more traditional rooms but then it was found that the Zenith space, its form is very special so the energy that emanated was new for us. But already I think I'm lucky because I love the French public, there is a form of connection because I feel we understand each other, we are in phase.

It was only your second date in France, do you plan to return soon?

Oh yes I would love to! I have not anything planned for now unfortunately. I start my tour in January where I Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Now we are seeing to go to America, the UK and Europe, but there is nothing decided yet.

Apart Queen, who else you got inspired to do this job?

In fact it happened by chapter. When I was a teenager, I listened to a lot of pop music, even a little hip-hop and rap. Moreover many of these artists of the late 90s were produced by Max Martin, it's funny. In my twenties, I had a heart for rock, then there was a period where I listened only neo soul. I really work phase. And now we can say that I listen to everything.

Is there a song or artist you're listening loop now?

There are some artists that I love right now such as the album Years & Years.

There's a question I love to ask in interview: what did you do in 15 years?

When I was 15 I wanted to be an actor on Broadway. In fact, when I was 9, my parents enrolled me in a theater group and I fell in love musicals and I was also much. It was a bit my first contact with music.

So there is a series that our readers especially love is Pretty Little Liars. You also participated in the special Halloween episode of season 2. Tell us how it happened and how you were approached?

I do not remember how it happened but it was great fun. Everyone told me "It's Halloween episode! And you can dress up as a vampire! Yeah!" And as I love to dress up it was great. I was able to shoot a scene with Lucy Hale and everyone was very cool. Frankly it was a great afternoon!

Have you anything to say to your French fans and all meltynautes? 

Yes, I want to tell them that I really appreciate that they like my music. I hope this is just the beginning and we can get to know a little more. I really want to come back more often because I love France and Paris.
