Adam Lambert Releases New Cover Album “High Drama”: Streaming
American singer-songwriter Adam Lambert released his first cover album “High Drama” on February 24, 2023.
It is his fifth studio album, following the 2020 album “Velvet”.
The comprises 11-track, produced by Andrew Wells, Dan Priddy, Freddy Wexler, George Moore, Ilsey, Jeremy Hatcher, Jonny Coffer, Mark Crew and Tommy English.
He covered 11 artists' songs, the like of Bonnie Tyler, Sia, Duran Duran, Billie Eilish, Ann Peebles, Lana Del Rey, Culture Club, Kings of Leon, P!NK, Jobriath, and Noël Coward.
“The idea came up to do an album of covers, and I haven't done that before,” Adam Lambert told Yahoo Entertainment about the album. “I've done that on Idol, obviously… and Queen is essentially sort of a covers situation, even though I'm in the band. It was like a real nice challenge to go, 'OK, let's find songs' — some are obscure, some are new, some are really well-known — 'that we think are cool, and flip them and make them sound entirely different if we can.'”- cxsLDUHbGeo

He continued, “It's just me, just doing me. And it actually feels really good, because I think in the past I might have been trying to manufacture something or run toward a trend or a sound. And I think with this album, even though they're covers, we've managed to make them sound and feel original enough, so they're like my kind of records. It just feels like we're doing it without thinking about it, in a way. I'm not trying to do a theme or a sound. I just am doing it. It just feels very natural, which is really nice.”-
