Adam Lambert won’t do album of 80s covers – dumps RCA to focus on recording original music
I have a feeling someone over at RCA Records is going to regret letting a dynamic and popular star like Adam Lambert get away.
This reminds me of when Natalie Cole wanted to record an album of her father’s songs and her record company refused. She took it over to Capitol Records and they released her multi-Grammy winning and huge selling Unforgettable album.
While Natalie wanted to sing old songs, Adam has the opposite problem: he wants his next album to be original material and RCA wants it to be 80s covers.
So, they have parted ways.

LW says:
labels have done idiot things before and they will do it again, honestly, Im glad hes away from them, to make an album like Trespassing and get no support is just a waste of time and energy, so glad the next one will be with a label that will support him 🙂

Greg: You have said it best. RCA has literally made a very bad decision in my opinion. The are one of the oldest and most non-progressive labels still in existence. They had the best male artist that has come along in decades and acted like a stubborn little child about the matter. Adam had already been working on new songs writing and recording with (per Adam)some great artists. It’s RCA’s loss. I think he may already be in talks with two major labels one might be Columbia and other one Capitol. There is no evidence – just hunch. Glee singers etc use Columbia to record and as Adam is joining cast it would make sense. However Katy Perry is trying to start up own label under Capitol her label & KP & Adam are friend. So either way Adam will definitely have other labels to choose from. He’s just too good to leave behind.
