Adam Lambert: 'Fame doesn't freak me out anymore'

Hitmaker Adam Lambert has revealed that after the success of his last album, 2012's 'Trespassing', he had to take some time to figure out which direction he wanted to go in next. 

During a brand new interview with Notion magazine, the 'Whataya Want From Me' vocal sensation confessed that he found himself questioning what he wanted out of his career and ended up feeling much more 'grounded' as a result:

"The music industry is so crazy, competitive and focused, and after the ‘Trespassing’ album I kind of had to stop and ask myself 'why am I doing this? What do I want? Who am I? What am I about?' and just re-examine at everything. I finally became more grounded about all of the fame stuff; it's not freaking me out anymore.”

Lambert will release his highly anticipated new studio album, entitled 'The Original High', later this spring and it will be preceded by his new single 'Ghost Town' on April 21. Speaking about his new record, he confessed:

"[The album is] dance-y but bittersweet, and the lyrics are a little darker [than they have been, previously]. I've done the more bubblegum stuff, I've done the camp stuff, and now I want to encourage people to face their shit. I want to show them the part of me that's not all polished or [still part of] the 'pageant on TV' thing – I want it to be real, you know?”
