Adam Lambert released a new single today. A couple of weeks ago, Lambert revealed that he’s got a new album out soon. Entitled High Drama, it’s a selection of covers.
There’s no track listing as yet, but the first taster arrived overnight. It’s a cover of Duran Duran’s 1993 single, “Ordinary World.”
Watch the official video below…
When released by Duran Duran almost 30 years ago, “Ordinary World” hit the top ten in the US, UK, Canada, France and several other countries. It’s regarded as one of their most endearing and timeless hits. Lambert offers up a sparser arrangement.
How about we take this to the next level?

High Drama drops February 24, 2023. It’s available for pre-order from today and Lambert just posted the artwork online.

While you’re here, relive Lambert’s incredible cover of Cher‘s megahit “Believe” performed at the 41st Annual Kennedy Center Honors in 2019.

LumpyPillows
Oh, burn! I can only hope your aunt was quite mean to you as a the spoiled brat that I am sure you were.
Man About Town
Um, what? I don’t understand your comment.
thebaddestbabby
just saying that I don’t know anyone under the age of 40 who even knows who Adam Lambert is. I only know about him from older relatives!
lykeitiz
Who can’t be more than 30, since you’re 12.

Green is not the best color on you, dude.
PoetDaddy
Ageism is disgusting!

Of all the endless choices you had concerning what you might be doing today, of all the creative, useful, uplifting comments you could have made about, oh I don’t know…ANYTHING, you’ve reduced yourself to childish snark. This is who you really are.
LumpyPillows
Adam is a dynamo. I think this should be good.

Reminded me of a Bond theme song, then I remembered Duran Duran did one of those, too.
lykeitiz
“A View To A Kill” – song title and Bond movie title. Great song!
Pier
Offensive at so many levels

what is?

Does he do any of his own stuff or is it just remakes of other musicians?

#AdamLambert1Billion ?
Yes, he has lots of great stuff.
Thanks for asking.

Not sure why some of you are so angry with this guy – he has promoted the community unabashedly throughout his relatively short career, all the while earning around $40 million bucks. Not a bad gig – someone must like him.

Actually, this is a TAME comment section compared to many. Which is totally unfortunate. Back in the day we had a terrific comment section on AfterElton where (in addition to the inevitable snark and occasional nastiness) we were actually able to have serious, informative discussions. I come to a lot of Queerty comment sections ready to comment, but then get turned off by the incessant negativity, pearl clutching, and derision of both article subjects and fellow commenters.

Maybe this is what he might be signing on The Voice tonight!
Neoprene
I’ll be disappointed if he signs on tonight’s show.

GORGEOUS MAN!

He made Cher cry when he sang ‘Believe’ in front of her. Maybe he can’t forgive him for that.
Kangol2
Very talented and he can definitely sing, which isn’t always the case with today’s crop of singers!
jaimedance3
Shame! Already a has been! After what he did to me and a friend of mine for almost 2 years I could care less about that man!
Kangol2
What did he do to you and your friend?
Also, is it that you could care less but can’t manage to or you couldn’t care less? Curious minds want to know.
jackscott
I like his voice.

Being lead singer and front man for rock band Queen has made Adam very very rich..although he is a good singer I wouldn’t have picked him to be their singer..he was brillant at times on idol. Then came a u turn I thought glam rock went out with the 80’s…
charette8596
Love him or hate him, and I’m in the former category, this man is gifted. I could listen to him sing all day long.

It’s a fine rendition of an elegant song by a man with an amazing voice. The childish, obnoxious cattiness of some of the posters in the comments is really embarrassing for the GLBTQ+ community.
