For me, it’s been really challenging to twist these songs into completely different arrangements and make them sound brand new. Soon, in an upcoming book, the singer will tell his full story for the first time in an upcoming book. Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term. Few have the power and range of Lambert's vocals, as evidenced by his recruitment to front Queen, a role he's tackled with poise.

And so it's interesting because I didn't even think about it consciously but yeah, almost all of the artists on the album were people that have had like their own moment, their own sound.And I think the other mission on this album was not only to kind of create this rock star sonic atmosphere, but hopefully I'm also sharing my voice with people. It's an update that feels in line with Lambert's sound and aesthetic, while paying homage to a specific forebearer who paved the way for his career. On December 13, 2022, Lambert performed the lead single " Ordinary World" during the season 22 finale of the The Voice.

Lambert: Yeah, like I said, I think the arts are the biggest tool to push and effect and flip pop culture.

One of the coolest takes on the record is Lambert’s spin on “I Can’t Stand the Rain,” a song made famous by the legendary Tina Turner. And in some moments, looking back, that might have been a disservice to the overall presentation of the song. And I think I've definitely found myself in moments realizing, "Oh, I haven't processed this thing that happened, or I'm in denial about something. Album closer ‘Mad About the Boy’ is a triumph, it feels like it could be a theme song from the next James Bond film and Lambert’s spectacular storytelling skills are masterful and dynamic in equal measure. It’s a lot of rock music, a lot of music from the ‘70s, but the process of putting a musical together is a longer timeline.

He added, “The brief was to take a bunch of really great songs from all genres and completely remold them.Two more standout tracks are the atmospheric take on Duran Duran's 'Ordinary World', and a gloriously camp, glam rock version of Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding Out for a Hero'. This genre-spanning collection of reimagined covers takes some of Adam’s favourite songs by artists like Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, Bonnie Tyler, Sia, Duran Duran and Kings Of Leon to a different dimension thanks to the classic ‘Adam Lambert’ treatment.

Adam once again proved that his I was a skeptic, but this album blew me away, some covers took my breath away in the best sense of the word. The result, High Drama, (★★★★☆) is more than a throwback to his Idol origins — it’s the kind of collection that could only have been put together and delivered by someone confident in his identity as an artist. Even when I was doing American Idol, thinking of ways to bring a fresh slant on really well-known songs was always paramount in my mind.Mad About the Boy” was released as the lead single from the album on October 7, 2022 with “Ordinary World” released as the second on December 13, 2022. It’s exciting, and if our new takes of these wonderful songs can surprise the artists who recorded the originals, then the record’s definitely succeeded.
