Adam Lambert announces his next album – the first new release since 2012’s “Trespassing”

Adam Lambert has been mighty busy in recent years with his solo touring and his touring with Queen.

He was even a guest judge on American Idol last week (see video below).

But he has not released a studio album since Trespassing in May 2012.

That is about to change.

Adam has announced a new multiple-album deal with Warner Bros. with the first album (his third overall) due out in early summer. He had split with RCA after two albums due to creative differences.

‘I can say the first single will be out in April,’ Lambert tells Billboard. ‘ I think people are going to be really surprised. The album feels like a new era for me — emotionally, lyrically, sonically. It feels fresh, it feels new. It’s still me. It’s still stuff that fans know and love but it’s a new chapter 100 percent.’

The album was recorded in Sweden with Lambert working with Swedish songwriter-producers Max Martin and Shellback.

‘I spent two months in Stockholm at the beginning of 2014 writing with all of their guys,’ Lambert says. ‘It was a very focused time. I don’t have a social life out there, I don’t have any professional commitments so I was in the studio almost every day. It was nice; it allowed me to really reflect on where I was in my life and where I had been, what I wanted to say and how I wanted to say it, and I got to work with some incredible people.’
