Adam Lambert Doesn’t ‘Want’ To Be Tied To Summer Album

Adam Lambert’s debut album is going to arrive a little earlier than he expected.

While he works toward a fall release of his RCA Records debut, Hi Fi Recordings and Wilshire Records have announced the summer release of the “American Idol” runner-up’s “On With The Show.” The album is compiled of songs recorded by Adam, during his pre-fame days, and it’s a project he does not endorse now.

“Back in 2005 when I was a struggling artist, I was hired as a studio singer to lend my vocals to tracks written by someone else. I was broke at the time and this was my chance to make a few bucks, so I jumped at the opportunity to record for my first time in a professional studio,” Adam said in a statement to Access Hollywood on Friday.

The first single, “Want,” was released on Friday, and showcases Adam’s trademark powerful vocals against a guitar pop backdrop reminiscent of The Fray or Snow Patrol. The track’s message is simple –

“Love, it’s all we want / love, it’s all we need,” Adam sings.

However, the “Idol” star is not supporting “On With The Show,” telling Access his upcoming RCA release is where he’s at musically.

“The work I did back then in no way reflects the music I am currently in the studio working on,” Adam’s statement continued. “I’m thrilled to be working with some of today’s hottest songwriters and producers and can’t wait for people to hear what my music really sounds like.”

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Adam has signed to 19 Recordings and will release an album via RCA Records this fall.

“I’m thrilled that we’ve come to a creative and collaborative partnership and look forward to developing a really exciting album,” Lambert said in a statement released to Access Hollywood at the time. “We are 100 percent on the same page and are all anxiously awaiting the start of the recordings. It’s going to be ridiculous! Get Ready!”
