High Drama

Product Information

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. 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. A notable standout among those more true-to-source tracks is his Duran Duran cut, “Ordinary World,” in which he hews close to the original but runs with the opportunity to flex his incredible vocal range.

I was a skeptic, but this album blew me away, some covers took my breath away in the best sense of the word.Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. His self-styled “glam-rock makeover” of the Bonnie Tyler hit has him belting her lines over thudding bass, injecting the classic earworm with a heavy dose of Lambert.

Summary: The latest full-length release for pop artist Adam Lambert features covers of songs by such artists as Culture Club, Lana Del Rey, Duran Duran, Billie Eilish, Kings Of Leon, P! An experienced musician as Lambert is working with top producers such as Tommy English (Kacey Musgraves, Carly Rae Jepsen), Andrew Wells (Halsey, OneRepublic), and more to create a record that is beyond a covers album: it is an experienced display of composition, and how to reframe music to new audiences. 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’.High Drama is the fifth studio album and first cover album by Adam Lambert, released on February 24, 2023. Currently, Lambert is working on writing a musical, which will feature original songs from a stellar lineup of collaborators. 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.

Ordinary World" goes back to the well of his "Mad World" breakthrough on American Idol, finding the deeper pathos in the brittle songwriting of the 80s.

Baltin: That's the thing is for a great interpreter, whether you go back to Tony Bennett or more recently someone like Rod Stewart, you have to make them your own. When I was a teenager, for example, before I came out, when I was kind of coming to terms with my sexuality, I was watching Will and Grace, and loving it and watching it like with the whole family, and we were all laughing, all having a good time.
