Product Information

Few have the power and range of Lambert's vocals, as evidenced by his recruitment to front Queen, a role he's tackled with poise.

Adam once again proved that his I was a skeptic, but this album blew me away, some covers took my breath away in the best sense of the word. I heard, because I know Ilsey quite well, so I heard the original and I just thought, "Oh, this is so beautiful.For me, it’s been really challenging to twist these songs into completely different arrangements and make them sound brand new. Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term. Baltin: Were there things about some of these songs that pleasantly surprised you when you got into singing them? Notwithstanding the Queen-like a capella intro, he not only captures the poignant intimacy and stark vulnerability in Eilish’s lyrics, but takes it a step further.

Renowned for re-imagining songs from American Idol to his stirring viral hit with Cher's 'Believe', Adam Lambert - the Grammy-nominated pop icon, LGBTQ trailblazer and Queen frontman - brings you 'High Drama', a wonderfully diverse collection of covers with a twist, held together by Adam's once-in-a-generation voice and trademark flair.High Drama is the fifth studio album and first cover album by Adam Lambert, released on February 24, 2023. While I don't think the more measured, electro-pop take on this disco hit works as well for the gleeful verses, I do enjoy how hard it hits on the choruses. 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’.

Previously, Mike produced KSRO’s “The Drive with Steve Jaxon” drive-time radio show since 2008, covering news, music, pop culture, politics and more. His song writing skills and vision were stellar on his previous cd Velvet, but this album showcases another side to his versatile talent!Lambert isn’t trying to outdo the originals on High Drama, but rather take them to a different place. Tracks like "Holding Out For A Hero," the Bonnie Tyler '80s classic, and Sia's hit "Chandelier" ooze Lambert's rocket-high falsettos and thunderous instrumentation. More than 15 years ago, David Archuleta became a national celebrity thanks to his time on American Idol. On February 27, 2023, Lambert performed " Chandelier" on America's Got Talent: All-Stars finale with the season's winner.
