Adam Lambert Announces London Album Launch Party

Fans who pre-order his new covers album, High Drama out 24 February, on any format from the Adam Lambert Official Store before midday on 17 January 2023 will be entered into an exclusive pre-sale. Pre-sale begins 18 January 2023. General on-sale begins 20 January 2023 at 9am here.
Recently Lambert shared his cover of Bonnie Tyler’s Holding Out For A Hero – the third preview from High Drama. The music video premiered last week, see below. It followed Lambert’s versions of Duran Duran’s Ordinary World and Noël Coward’s Mad About The Boy.
“The idea came up to do an album of covers, and I haven’t done that before,” Adam Lambert said of the album. “I’ve done that on American Idol, obviously – and Queen is essentially sort of a covers situation, even though I’m in the band.”
He continued, “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.’”
Executive produced by Adam himself, alongside production from the likes of Tommy English (Kacey Musgraves, Carly Rae Jepsen), Andrew Wells (Halsey, OneRepublic), George Moore and Mark Crew, High Drama is a journey through modern music. The diverse collection of songs span from classics such as Ann Peebles’ I Can’t Stand The Rain and Bonnie Tyler’s Holding Out For A Hero to modern hits like Billie Eilish’s Getting Older, which gets a glam-inspired transformation and a rock-leaning rendition of Lana Del Rey’s West Coast, each song showcasing Adam’s unmatched vocal talent.
