After months of waiting, get ready for “The Original High” this month. We’ve been treated with 4 songs already but are anxious to hear the full album. Adam is out promoting at various radio stations, on TV and doing phone interviews. With “Ghost Town” slowly moving up the charts, it will be interesting to see if TOH becomes Adam’s second number one album. With timely appearances on TV during the week of the album release, his casual fans should be aware of the new music and help generate sales. Here’s hoping to a successful launch and that it leads to a solo tour!

Enjoy the chat!

    I am shocked about Derulo’s sales so far. He seemed to be pegged & promoted as the next JayZ.

    WB will report the label/website sales last and Jason will get a pick-me-up there. Two other considerations:

    – this is his 4th CD in 5 years
    – he sells singles

    ETA: his last two CD’s have sold approximately the same number in their first week: 43-44,000. His label actually converted his last CD release into an EP at the last minute. They then released it a year later with new songs added. That means the early sales were not good.

    I love the HDD Upcoming Release chart because it provides sales history for the artists last effort.

    It is interesting to see a final number for Trespassing = 197,000 units. Not bad at all.

    I bolded a couple of entries because they are dark horses. I didn’t realize that Jordin Sparks was releasing next week. Also, James Taylor has a solid fan base.

    There are a couple of huge releases next week, whose sales success may bleed into the following week. Muse’s CD, in particular, may chart well for a few weeks. Their single is currently #1 on the Alternative Rock Chart and #10 on the Active Rock chart.

  32. Cait1602 says:

    In some cases listening to the stream is so bad. I need to listen to one song again and again before going to another one but not possible on the stream. Am a bit nuts about new music XD

    BUT I cant just not listen. I need to hear it. So controverse atm.

    My impressions on the first listen:

    – The Original High: Oh yes I love it. Its another earhook. Chasing and chasing. I love it. In the beginning I needed a bit to get into it but once I heard the chorus I was hooked!

    – There I Said It: omg…It left me in tears. The emotions…you can feel them in the lyrics, the love, the pain, the end of it. I cant imagine how it will sound on stage, maybe an acoustic version. Its powerful, so powerful…

    -Rumors: Oh baby yes pls. Its amazing. I hear alot of Tove Lo’s style in that song. I love her album “Queen of the clouds” Bought it as a birthday present for myself Razz Their voices really are so good together, such a great harmony.

    – Lucy: I thought ALN was a more Queen track. It is but early Queen era. Lucy is so right in the late 80s/early 90s era of Queen. How can you describe that song? Amazing doesnt cut it. Fabulous, fantastic? Instantly in love with it. Brian and Adam are such a great team.

    – Things I Didnt Say: Have to listen to it a bit more. The “thumping” is a bit distracting, have to get used to it. Or is it just my speakers on laptop?

    – The Light: Hm really electronic, dancy kind of song. Not really my fav. Feel ported right back into a dance club in the nineties. Maybe listen to it after some drinks will get me into it

    – Heavy Fire: Yep more my thing, couldnt really sit still and listen to it, right away had to some swingy dancy moves around the room. Its nice, really nice. Not so funky, a bit slower beat. Love his vocals.

    The whole album is amazing – two, three songs I need to get used too – but all in all its great, wow, he matured so much. But I am glad that every now and then there is still some wailing lol

    His vocals are AMAZING. Nothing else. So diverse, so contrary. The darker, heavier note is a line through all the songs, left me a bit moody but in the same time I have to listen to it again and again to help me get out of my moody space – does that even make sense?

    I am blown away!

    Sorry guys for my rambled thoughts but it helps me process.

  33. riskylady says:

    Drowning in the beauty of TOH right now! Just surfacing long enough to post this lovely blurb from the Queen Forever blog not just about Lucy, but the album as a whole:

    “I n pending the official release scheduled for mid-June, a few hours is available on Amazon free listening stream of The Original High , the new album of Adam Lambert . Waiting to be able to evaluate in a better condition of a shaky listening online, the temptation to put it in the background is strong, especially since it’s so curious to find out the result of the collaboration with Brian May . The song chosen by Queen guitarist is called Lucy and the participation of Brian was born almost by accident, after which Adam made ​​him listen to a demo on which the DOC has also developed some ideas that we can now finally listen. The link at the bottom of this article there is direct access to Amazon, with the caveat that it is not possible “skippare” songs and then you have to listen to the album, an experience that I would definitely recommend it. Although not a product-oriented Queen (or rock, if you prefer), the atmosphere is great, rarefied and refined, with authentic peaks involving the listener and take him to wonderful musical territories, especially on the vocal abilities of the same Adam, grown enormously thanks to the experience on stage with Brian and Roger. But of this we will have time to speak at the right time. Now it just gives the limelight to Lucy.”

  34. riskylady says:

    I do hope many Queenies remember to support Adam. He gave them a lot of pleasure with the QAL tour!

  35. turquoisewaters says:

    I’m in the same situation, asif. So glad I got to hear it before I’ll be off to no-internet-land for a month on Thursday. That would have been a terrible wait.

  36. riskylady says:

    OMG just listened to There I Said It, crying my eyes out! Don’t think I have ever heard such a poignant, intimate song about the feelings when things start going wrong. My heart breaks for Adam and Sauli!
    Being in a happy marriage for years, you kind of forget those wrenching emotions but this definitely takes you there.

  37. LadyNorth says:

    cait, I agree what you say about not being able to listen a track again in repeat. That’s why I have listened to the whole thing 6 rounds now and desperately need the 7th… I need to get into the songs a bit more before letting out feelings. I really need to read lyrics before I can really understand what they say / might mean, it’s too difficult to hear or process while listening.

    One that hit me hard iimmediately is There I said it. It’s so sad, beautiful, honest with incredibly beautiful vocals. It came to my mind that it might be written from Sauli’s perspective and someone else tweeted about the same thing. What do you think riskylady?

    The album is brilliant, even though I like some vibes and beats more than the others they are all great masterpieces in their category. I love There I said it, Lucy and Heavy fire, TOH is really growing on me. Light is a great club song but for the same reason not my biggest favor. And haven’t warmed up to Rumors yet. Can’t wait to hear the bonus tracks.

    Off to listen again after reading some lyrics.

  38. asifclueless says:

    riskylady … Come and join turquoise and me on the crying couch! Heart Breaking!! Broken Heart Cry

    I still don’t know what’s going on between Adam and Sauli and still cannot believe it to these days. Big Frown Cry

    It’s just me …
    I get the reverse feeling that the song is sung by Sauli because I used to be in similar Sauli’s shoes.
    Who loses more in this relationship?
    Who lived in the shadow of the other?

    Well! … It’s a deep subject! … heh! … Grin

    Have a wonderful vacation … turquoise!!!

    I came back from lunch break and typed what I thought of “There I said It” and posted it before I saw your post.
    Then … I’m not the only one who thinks it’s Sauli’s perspective.
