Adam has apparently wrapped up his US radio promo tour, at least for the moment, as April begins. Above we see Adam as he spent the last several weeks – hard at work with promo. This is (hopefully) finally the last month – for real – before Adam’s new “Trespassing” album will be released. The album is scheduled to drop on May 15. Will we get a second single ahead of the album release date? Will Adam perform on American Idol sometime in the next several weeks? We’ll know soon – in the meantime enjoy the chat!

    Hi Leo…I heard the same thing about Cuckoo, but I’m sure that it will be NCOE for the amazing promotion of his new single….

  2. ultimathule says:

    Really like the cover pic for NCOE. Noticed that the “O’s” in “Close” and “Our” are solid shapes – rather like his sunglasses. (Part of the “R’s” are solid, too – like it.)

    Hi guys. I’m just stopping by to say hello since I seem to have been on another planet for the past few days. I have a few days’ reading to catch up on; but it’s late, so I will leave that for tomorrow.

    I did watch the NNN Awards on Monday night and thoroughly loved Our Man’s performance—as well as the band, etc. That was the first time I had seen/heard Trespassing and actually liked it. It will be a fun song for live shows.

    Good nite for now.

    Hey, Ceddies, been thinkin’ ’boutcha!

    I seem to have been on another planet for the past few days

    and that would be…Planet Fierce? Smile
    Glad you stopped in!

  5. ultimathule says:

    Is the cover pic of NCOE flipped? The top earring?

  6. Kradamour says:

    Okay, peeps, this fantard is going to bed. Spring Break is exhausting! Too much catching up to do from all the things that get put off when working!
    G’nite, peeps!
    Sweet Adam Dreams!
    <3

  7. Kradamour says:

    ultimathule, I think someone posted upthread that it is reversed.
    You guys have such good eyes…
    g’nite for realz this time!

  8. dcglam says:

    Kradamour, I’m so excited about the novel you have begun to write! This is probably a good time for you to immerse yourself in this project. I hope that all goes well with your mom’s surgery on Monday.

    BREAKING NEWS!!!

    Adam + Queen scheduled at the Hammersmith Apollo in London on July 11 – 12!!

    http://venues.meanfiddler.com/apollo/full-listings/?tickets_search_value=&tickets_view_type=list&tickets_search_date=2012-7

    Tickets go on sale April 18 at 9:00am (I assume London time, which is 1:00am Pacific time).

  12. cwm says:

    Love the sound of that new snippet posted at Amazon!! (nkd posted it above.)

    New single release, Kimmel mini-concert, album release, Idol performance, 5 radio shows, 4 Queen concerts, untold TV appearances to promote album…

    Fasten your seatbelts, people! We’re about to hit warp speed!

  13. cwm says:

    I feel like I should clarify one of my earlier posts. When I said earlier that I “don’t give a rip what the skeptics are saying on MJs about ‘caving,'” I didn’t mean to suggest that I didn’t care about the opinion of those of you here (like Miss Chaos or Kradamour) who expressed concerns about NCOE. I just meant that I have stopped worrying about whether opinions expressed at MJs reflect any more than the opinions of people in the idol bubble, which they don’t. Opinions expressed at MJs don’t necessarily reflect the opinions of radio PDs, DJs, or the radio listening and music buying public. That’s all I meant. I hope no one here took offense!

    oooh, I will be in the UK on Jul 11/12 Smile
    I wonder if we will be able to preorder on the fansite?

    Official press release about the Queen gigs:

    The same press release is also posted on the Queen website.

    Queen Official ‏ @QueenWillRock
    Queen + Adam Lambert announce two shows at the Hammersmith Apollo, London on July 11th and 12th. http://www.queenonline.com http://fb.me/Zrs2dnPb

    There will be a 24-hour presale on April 17 for Queen Online members and Sonisphere ticket holders, who will be contacted via by email. WEEEEEEEE!!!!!

  17. HK fan says:

    I wondered if the Hammersmith Apollo was the Odeon, saw Franjie goes to Hollywood there, and a one time special screening of Star wars, The Empire strikes back and Return of the Jedi there.We had extremely numb bums from sitting in the cinema for 7 hours, great atmosphere though.
    I wonder why Adams fansite is not getting preorders only the Queen fansite?

  18. sparkle says:

    Awesome news about the Queen concerts. I justified not going before by saying to myself that, since they were part of a festival, they’d only be doing a few songs. Now that they’re doing a WHOLE CONCERT, I’m really tempted! Hubby likes Queen so I think I’ll have to ask at least! I was laid off last June so $ is a bit tight. On the other hand, I could go to the miniconcert if I extended my stay in LA or could go with luval to the Philly Springle. Or keep hoping for Leno on the 23rd (yes, nkd, it was me). Decisions, decisions! I love it!!!

  19. rs says:

    So now I have to decide whether to change my airline ticket home yet again (and pay the cancellation fees again). I was originally scheduled to leave the UK on July 2nd. Will wait and see what the other members of the entourage say. We have a couple of days before we decide.

  20. Kradamour says:

    London. Not a huge festival hot mess but a real concert. (exhales) and my friend just told me yesterday – out of the blue – that she would like to go with me if Queen and Adam ever play together in a concert.
    Can the universe get any more aligned?

    sigh. Frown

  21. Kradamour says:

    We haven’t heard anything from glambertha since Knebworth was cancelled, have we? That was such a huge event for her, and a birthday present! I hope she knows about the new concerts in London.

  22. Kradamour says:

    LOVED that twitlonger, cwm!
    (and no, of course no offense was taken at your earlier post! very sweet of you to even think that it might have been, though)

  23. cwm says:

    Phew! Thanks Kradamour! Smile

  24. little dutchess says:

    I wondered if the Hammersmith Apollo was the Odeon

    …pretty sure it was the Odeon;lots of name changes over the years.

  25. luval says:

    Kradamour… Is your “sigh” because you can’t go or you friend can’t go?

  26. milwlovesadam says:

    That new snippet sounds amazeballs!

    Ladies and gents, I think we have us a hit!!

    ( It’s hard to use my treadmill with all my whatsits crossed!)

  27. Miss Chaos says:

    CWMOf course no offense about your earlier post. I sometimes need people to straighten me out. I do like the new snippet for the song. I hope the whole song is going to be better.
    Here are my thoughts that I had when the new song was decided. As I laid in bed last nite, I know I should be trying to sleep, but Adam seems to slip in sometimes.
    Adam made this incredible Album, that he was so hyped on, about the dark and light side of him. He wrote or was involved with writing and picking the songs, his journey. The album was set to come out, but wait a minute, someone he supposedly respected very much (Bruno) came along and said here is this song, do you want it ( or thats how I think it came down lol) And album is held up for this new great song, according to Adam. Now all these great songs that Adam loved were pushed to the background for this new song, (that I personally dont think is all that great, just attached to Bruno) and then he puts out snippets of these songs for us to hear, which by polls were liked over NCOE, we all fell in love with different ones, TP, NL, Cockoo, and my absolute favorite (not in the running, Chokehold). Then NCOE is picked, I just dont see where it falls in the scheme of things for the album, seems like its out of place for Adams idea of this album. This is all speculation on my part, but some of the reasons I am not happy with what they did. BUT if it is a hit, for Adam and they play it, and we get to hear some of the other songs I am all for it. I think BTIKM should have been a bigger hit, but it wasnt. I really want this to go good for Adam this time, so he isnt put in the same bracket of all the other Idols with their second Albums. Make sense??? I always want my favorite to e a winner, and people to love him like we do, he is so great!

  28. Ron says:

    A sighing Kradamour?! Don’t like to see a sighing Kradamour. I read your original post and in my mind’s eye I had you half way across the Atlantic. Airplane

    If Husband is a factor, to sweeten the pot, point out that during your trip he will have unlimited viewing of the big screen TV. While I’m sure he’ll miss you very much while you’re away, the next day you might find that he’s packed your bags and put them next to the front door. Laugh

    I see you in that audience, Kradamour! Just trying to help get you there. Wink

    Gil is feeling stronger and getting better every day and … so am I. Thank you again for all of your thoughtful comments and best wishes!

    Very happy NCOE is the next single.

  32. Ron says:

    TWO big hugs back, AL. We both appreciated and were very touched by your thoughtful email. Thank you again for your kindness.

  33. Ron says:

    Hi dcglam! Thank you for the Link! I love it a lot. It’s the first time I’m excited about an Adam single. We can HEAR him and he sounds great. Nice balance between his voice and the music, great beat, catchy rhythm and lyrics.

    I think this could very well do it for him.

    I’ve listened to it three times and to really focus on it, ironically, I kept my eyes closed. Smile

  34. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Oh dcglam, you know us so well!! This sounds amazing – I love the production and tempo – so hard to sit still while listening! Dance Not disappointed in the least!

  35. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Ron, I don’t know how you do it, but you make me laugh (out loud most of the time!) with almost every one of your posts! So glad you and Gil are feeling better – xxoox!

  36. nkd says:

    First things first, Ron, this made my day. I’ve been worried about you. Kiss

    I love NCOE! Thank you dcglam for the link!

    And I love NCOE!

    Good thing the song wasn’t called “Never Close Our Ears” because then you wouldn’t have heard a thing! Silly

    Hi TexasWannaHoldEm!!

    Me too!

    I thought FYE was “okay”, was indifferent about WWFM and disappointed with BTIKM.

    NCOE is the first time I’m enthusiastic about an Adam single release and think that it has very strong potential to be a HIT. Victory

    So glad you and Gil are feeling better – xxoox!

    Thank you so much! Rose

    ROTFL

    AL, Music Note “If I’m the bottom, you’re the TOP” Music Note

    That’s a lyric from a song, AL! “Top” meaning “best”. No other implication inferred. Big Smile

  42. Calgary says:

    Ron Such good news about Gil! I’m hoping, and guessing, that your relationship is stronger than ever now.
    Kradam All the best to your mum for smooth sailing through the surgery and her recovery.

  43. Ron says:

    Hi turquoisewaters and nkd!!

    You’re both very dear and I thank you very, very much. Rose

    I’m very grateful and very lucky to have such caring friends.

  44. AL says:

    None taken but as Cole Porter says “Anything Goes”!
    That’s a musical. No other implication inferred! Wink
    How about we do the “Friendship” number together!

    It’s friendship, friendship,
    Just a perfect blendship,
    When other friendships have been “forgate”
    Ours will still be great!

  45. turquoisewaters says:

    NCOE (after listening a couple times to the full version): The intro is gorgeous. Makes it crystal clear who has the prettiest voice in town. I love how Adam puts just the right amount of grit in the different parts of the song.

  46. nkd says:

    Look at this pic. Could have been the Trespassing single cover. And maybe will be at some point.

  50. nkd says:

    Miss Chaos, I think they were deciding between the two.
    The radio peeps preferred NCOE, so that’s what you go with. I truly believe that Trespassing will be a single, maybe the next one. I LOVE this full official finished NCOE. It sounds like a huge radio hit to me. I sure hope this promo trip has paid off for him.
