STORY: RCA Execs Confirm Jive and Arista Labels Shut Down

Lambert’s second studio album has been among the most anticipated releases of 2012, thanks in large part to the success of his debut, For Your Entertainment, which is thisclose to being certified platinum for sales in excess of one million units. But the follow-up has seen a few delays: first, whenLambert switched management in the middle of the recording cycle, and again, by his own admission, because of his “perfectionist” nature.

“Here’s the deal: there have been a couple of creative set backs on the first single,” he tweeted on Sunday. “Mainly cuz I’m a perfectionist. Ha. Seems as though the single will explode in November. I’m sorry for the delay- but trust me, it’s worth it.” He also wrote, “as of now, album will be released in the spring. Feb/march?”

RCA Records COO Tom Corson echoed that sentiment, telling The Hollywood Reporter, “We moved the album back because the creative process is still unfolding.” The executive notes that it’s “not because we’re not excited about what we’ve got, we just think we can top it, but we’re right there on the cusp.”

For his part, Lambert has been tweeting semi-regular updates on his Twitter feed and even revealing snippets of lyrics, such as: “Lost inside communication breakdown / Better just read my lips / Comin’ in clearer when we get down / Iceberg / Just the tip” and “All along, I tried to pretend it didn’t matter if I was alone.”

It’s been noted that Lambert is “taking the reins” on this album much more so than on his debut, and Corson concurred: “Adam is definitely more involved than ever and I think he’s really enjoying that. Those first records when you come off of Idol, the timelines are really tight, so it’s an artificial experience. Now he has room to breathe and time, he doesn’t have to come off TV, onto a tour and then have an album out for Christmas.”

On the other hand, RCA CEO Peter Edge opined that American Idol was the perfect platform for an artist like Lambert. “Adam is a great example [of how] when you’re right for that kind of format, it’s a fast way to get attention,” he told THR. “I don’t know that Adam Lambert would have found it easy to get a record deal, but from the show, you saw how unique he was, what a great voice and great performer he was. That would have been very hard to do through conventional ways.”

So when will his as-yet-to-be-titled full-length possibly see a release date? “February, March — somewhere in there,” says Corson. “Definitely first quarter.”

I’m sure the wait for Adam’s new album is definitely worth it. Knowing his artistry and passion for music,  this guy has a long way to go. I don’t know if it’s just me, but Lambert reminds me of Freddie Mercury.

Rob Thomas has a voice at the end of 5432, compared with 90 281 votes, that Adam was her partner. Therefore, based on the results of the past are likely to vote, Adam wins this round as well. But his fans need to keep voting and running. You never know if the fans of Rob Adam, all victories, such as Rob in the past.

You may vote for the final Division One of Adam “, the mix of sexiest man”, the survey, go to the meeting, instead of 94.1. You can vote as many times as you want to Wednesday, July 27 to 16 hours. Glam Bert is useful when it comes to voting for Adam in the polls, both fans of Rob is really up to speed if you go for the grand finale.

Radio surveys like this is a good way to Adam, to gain visibility for those who already know. This had to vote on this poll, Adam?

On Idol Lambert sang songs by Cher, Wild Cherry, Foghat, and Sam Cooke. ”I don’t like boxing myself into a genre,” he says. ”But if I had to pick one major style, the classic rock stuff is where I was most comfortable on the show. Or at least that’s what people saw me as the most.”
