Adam Lambert opens up about his latest album intentions

Vocal sensation Adam Lambert has revealed that he wanted to write about different subject matter when creating his latest album, 'The Original High', and that is reflected in the record's tracklisting. 

He told Las Vegas Weekly that he has such varied themes in his back catalogue so wanted to try something a little different and decided to tackle 'darker' topics this time around:

"It was interesting, because in the past I’ve done stuff that’s been over-the-top and flamboyant and high, high, high energy. And I love that kind of stuff, I really do. I have that in my catalog. But I wanted to sing about things that were darker, maybe. Even though there’s still beauty in this world, there’s still wonderful people, there’s also a lot of scary things going on right now."

He went onto add that his passion for social media and keeping on top of current affairs were things that influenced his songwriting:

"I’m such a pop-culture junkie, I like to find out what’s going on, what people are saying, what’s going on in social media. There’s a lot of tension out there right now, and even though it’s pop music, I wanted to touch on that. I wanted to sing about stuff that was a bit more serious and a little bit more real. There’s some scary stuff that’s been going on. And yet again, at the same time, we do employ dance music in the album: There’s beats, there’s things to make you move. My hope is that you can find some sort of healing or catharsis with the songs."
