The guy who stole the show on American Idol Season 8, yet somehow wound up finishing second, returns with his second album this week.
Adam Lambert releases “Trespassing” Tuesday, and get ready for one of the more audacious albums you’ve heard from a former Idol contestant.
Bet you’re surprised, right?
But based on a story on Billboard.com, Adam fully realizes that importance of this album. He’s seen what’s happened to many a male Idol who went before him.
He told Billboard that’s why he insisted on being executive producer of his second album, and on co-writing much of it.
“This is a big make-or-break thing for me, especially for someone who comes off of ‘Idol,'” he told Billboard. “I did have a hit, which was great. That was one big step. Now what? Is that going to be it? Am I a one-hit wonder? So I wanted to get really involved in the process to make sure I was doing everything I could to create a great album.”
Did he succeed?
You don’t need to wait until Tuesday to find out. You can listen to the entire album — including the deluxe edition bonus tracks — here.
Meanwhile, Adam is going to be all over the place this week promoting the album.
Monday morning, he’ll sing his latest single, “Never Close Our Eyes,” on Good Morning America. Also set for Monday, an appearance on VH1’s Big Morning Buzz at 10 a.m., a live Q&A at Billboard.com at 3 p.m. and a 6:30 p.m. concert at the MLB Fan Cave in New York.
Then, Thursday, he’ll perform the new single on American Idol during the Top 3 results show.
Ah, about Idol … asked to pick a favorite, most guest artists mutter some politically correct mumbo jumbo about how all the remaining singers are great.
Adam? Forget it.
He felt the need to chime in after the top four show.
“#JSanchezAI11 (Jessica’s twitter handle) is a star,” Adam tweeted. “#JLedetAI11 (Joshua’s twitter handle) sangs fo the blood. They wipe the floor with the other two. It’s a singing competition.”
Later, in a message to Jessica, he clarified: “I said I liked you best. Phillip and Hollie are terrific singers. I just think you kick their butts.”
And, still later, “My opinions aren’t always diplomatic.”
Yep, time for a re-introduction. But it’s the same old Adam.
Now, “Never Close Our Eyes”
