RCA label heads must be pointing fingers right about now.
Just months after splitting with Adam Lambert over their push to have the Idol finalist record an 1980s-themed cover album, he’s on a roll.
Lambert has made a huge splash while appearing with Queen for the initial time on a U.S. stage, a moment that represented perhaps the highlight of the iHeart Radio Las Vegas music event in September.
He’s helped TV’s Glee recover from a huge cast loss. He’s sat in with Avicii and Nile Rodgers. He’s added a song to buzzy, deeply emotional documentary.
In short, Adam Lambert is every-fricking-where. Except on RCA. Whoops.
Unfortunately, there’s no update yet on whether an expanded set of dates might happen with Queen, now led by Brian May and Roger Taylor since the passing of Freddie Mercury and the retirement of John Deacon.
But there’s very good news (courtesy of Lambert’s stop on the Ellen show to promote Glee) for his growing legion of fans: Lambert is, in fact, at work on new music — and there’s (no surprise, really) increased interest in his first studio effort since the RCA swansong Trespassing, issued back in May of 2012.
“I am in the studio; I am working,” Lambert tells Ellen Degeneres. “I’m talking to a couple of labels, big producers. Things are turning.”

Pity RCA did nothing for him when they had him, the day he left i cried tears of joy.
Now he can dictate what he does and when he does it.
IMO people should be climbing over themself to sign him up.
LMAO “He’s every-fricking-where” is spot on. The best thing he ever did was get out from under the incompetence of RCA. 🙂 Looking forward to see what else he’s keeping secrets about and just wish he was in more episodes of Glee!
If I was rich he would be mine…..all mine! I would sign him in a heartbeat & Never let him go. RCA is more like Really Crying over Adam!
The whole music scene makes me puke. Perry, Bieber, Britney, Gaga, Rhianna (icon seriously?) you name it they’re huge stars and not worthy of it. Adam should be a huge star heard on the radio everywhere. He’s sung with Queen 9 times now and few American’s know it. He is the best live singer and performance I’ve seen and I’ve seen alot. I am happy he’s been out there, but when will the mundane world of music finally realize how good he is. Trespassing was phenomenal. I can’t wait for his next album and hopefully a tour with Queen. I stopped listening to radio, but somehow he needs a break and get some airplay.
I can’t wait for his next album and also a tour with Queen. I’m getting antsy for some new music from him. I would love something along the lines of Who Wants to Live Forever. Brian May wrote that song- maybe he’d consider writing another ballad for Adam, since that song fits his voice so well. I would like to see new music written for Adam by Brian and Roger that they could feature during the tour. I know they’re busy with other projects, but this would be something worthwhile doing.
Amen to that!!!
LOL…. “Adam Lambert is every-fricking-where.” is spot on. Glad he walked away from the incompetence of RCA with his head held high & his dignity in tact. So looking forward to his future with much anticipation. The world’s Adam’s oyster & it’s his for the taking.
Best live performer, best vocalist, really, really nice man and very sweet to his fans…Ladies and Gentleman, This is Adam Lambert
Waiting patiently for his next album and more live performances with Queen. His voice is so beautiful (speaking and singing), it needs to be heard more often.
What? What do you mean.. Labels are interested in Adam again….? The rotten clueless things at RCA were absolute fools not to promote and support everything Adam did. They should’ve bowed down to his brilliance instead of catering to embarrassing thugs like Brown etc. Adam has been nothing but on fire since American Idol and before. To make is sound like he failed and now is being looked at again is complete lies and shows the stupidity of people and The Industry in General. HIS albums put the other Artists to shame and RCA was blind and pathetic and needs to hide their ridiculous faces. Adam Lambert is a god in the Music Industry.. name another that even comes close to him. YOU CAN’T.. Put him on a Stage “Live” and he SLAYZZZ them all. ALL OF THEM
.. you can’t..
Leaving RCA was the best decision of his career and way overdue,their lack of support for Trespassing is well known due to the fact a new head honcho was brought in and Adam was left out in the cold. It came very clear to the artist when the record company picked weaker singles over such gems as Shady among others…they never understood Adam or his music and that being the case how in the world do your promote him when you are clueless?….What RCA has done to Adam and his career amounts to a crime and hopefully someday soon when he climbs to even more new heights this company will look back with real regret on how they treated Adam Lambert,success always has the last word.
Exactly…Shady and Trespassing should have been huge hits. Rolling Stone magazine rated Adam’s cd very highly.
I’m so sorry that Trespassing didn’t get what it deserved! It’s an awesome album that I want to listen to every single song, never skipping a song, because every song is it’s own master piece. I’m sad that songs like Shady and Running, actually all the songs on Trespassing, will never get the credit as awesome songs because of execs’ bad judgments. I really hope this comes back and bite them, they need to learn because who else is and will experience the same thing
Sorry, RCA, you lose!
Can’t wait to see what Adam will surprise us with in 2014.
why would RCA not doing anything for Adam to begin with with Trespassing? The best album out that i can remember.
Every song could have been a hit. Such a shame so much talent and a label that just sucked the life out of everything Adam!!
