Lambert recently opened up about his next studio record and confessed that he is 'trying something new': “I’m not gonna say too much, because I like to try to keep things under wraps. I’m actually not too good at that, but I’m trying something new. The element of surprise in this post-Beyoncé world [...] Yeah, I’m working on this album, I’m really excited about it [...] I will certainly not be rapping. You won’t hear me rapping..."
