The first single off his upcoming album, “Ghost Town” was sitting at number 49 on the iTunes pop chart Sunday night; it was 149 on the overall singles chart.
More impressively, the lyric video for the song has more than 1.5 million views on YouTube.
The official video, released less than a week ago, already has more than 750,000 views.
Here’s how Adam explains the song in a video interview you can watch here.
“Lyrically, it’s not really straight ahead and literal. It’s a bit surreal and disjointed — these kind of visuals and concepts about having hopes and expectations for maybe what you thought your life was going to be, and then realizing that, ‘Hey, it’s not that, and my beliefs are being challenged and I have some disappointments in my life and I need to re-evaluate kind of everything.
“But then there’s this beat in the song that’s so sick and so uplifting that I hope what the song is able to do — if someone else feels that way, and I think everybody has gone through a lot of these things — hopefully the song kind of helps them get past it and kind of take ownership of the fact that I didn’t know what I thought I knew. And that’s okay. It’s okay to be a little bit lost. That’s okay, and let’s dance about it.”
Adam’s new album, “The Original High,” is due out June 16. It’s his first in more than three years; “Trespassing” was released in May 2012 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
“The Original High” can be pre-ordered now.
