Alongside the announcement, Lambert also unveiled its lead single, “EAT U ALIVE,” on Friday, introducing listeners to a darker sound, which can be heard throughout the album.
ADAM — said to be largely inspired by 90s alternative and electronic — blends multiple genres and includes artwork by renowned fashion photographer Nick Knight and was executive produced by Pete Nappi (Jon Bellion, Jon Batiste, Jonas Brothers, Rihanna, Pharrell Williams). The album features 12 brand-new songs and marks a fully realized exploration into all facets of Lambert’s humanity and otherworldly artistry,” per a release.
Lambert shared the following about the track, “EAT U ALIVE”:
“‘EAT U ALIVE’ is the perfect primer into my next musical chapter. I wanted to create songs that fit into a world reminiscent of the music that made a formative impact on me in the 90s and early 00’s. Nine Inch Nails, Björk, Prince, Muse, Goldfrapp, Daft Punk, George Michael, Massive Attack and the Crystal Method are just a few who inspired the sound. The album explores both the light and shade of life and the razor’s edge that separates a positive experience from a negative one. I hope these songs connect with anyone who has been through the confusing but necessary process of self-acceptance. There was a real liberation in acknowledging my own weaknesses and strengths. Accepting the bad and the good all together. Revolutionary for someone who always thought of himself as a perfectionist and Idealist.”
The announcement also follows Lambert’s critically acclaimed Broadway debut in 2024 starring as Emcee in the TONY Award-winning production of “Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club.”
The album comes two years after his daring EP, Afters.
