Adam said they've selected 28 songs to record. Let's piece together what we know:

Strut
WRITTEN BY: Adam Lambert, Kara DioGuardi
PRODUCED BY: ??

LADY GAGA SESSION (1 song)

Untitled Lady Gaga Song
WRITTEN BY: Lady Gaga
PRODUCED BY: Lady Gaga and Jeff Bhasker
MUSICIANS: Brian Ray - Guitar; Abe Laboriel, Jr., - Drums (Brian and Abe are in Paul McCartney's touring band)

Listen to her talk about at the end of this interview: http://www.kiddlive.com/Article.asp?id=1561565&spid=


ROB CAVALLO SESSIONS (6 songs)

Music Again
WRITTEN BY: Justin Hawkins (“The Darkness”)
PRODUCED BY: Rob Cavallo

"Music Again" - Okay, this is the song, also produced by Rob Cavallo, largely responsible for my current lack of coherence or composure. The minute this glammy tour de force forced its way out of the 19 Entertainment office's speakers, it was so white-hot I was instantly reduced to a puddle of melted spandex and runny eyeliner. A falsetto gang chorus like something off a lost Sweet outtakes album, squalling guitar riffs, pumping "Funkytown" beats...my head was pretty much exploding at this point, but I managed to hold my cranium together long enough to turn to a nearby 19 employee and jokingly state, "This sounds like the Darkness, if the Darkness were remixed." To which the employee answered, "That's funny you say that, because this song was actually written by [legendarily unitarded Darkness frontman] Justin Hawkins, and that's Justin on guitar."


Suburban Decay
WRITTEN BY: ??
PRODUCED BY: Rob Cavallo

Winners
WRITTEN BY: ??
PRODUCED BY: Rob Cavollo

"Winners" - A slinky, sexy, salacious dance-rock grinder with a keening, near-orgasmic vocal reminiscent of Adam's watershed "Ring Of Fire" performance, this Rob Cavallo-produced cut cracks open in the middle like a giant whitechocolatespaceegg to reveal a colossal, fist-pumping, Gary-Glittery chantalong chorus that seems lifted straight out of "We Will Rock You 2: Electric Boogaloo." So my guess is Queen's Brian May will be impressed by this massive masterwork, too. A winner, indeed.

WRITTEN BY: Ryan Tedder, Jerrod “J_Skins Bettis”

CLAUDE KELLY/DR. LUKE SESSION (2 songs)

Entertainment
WRITTEN BY: Claude Kelly, Dr. Luke
PRODUCED BY: Claude Kelly, Dr. Luke

"Entertainment" - The default title track and statement of intent, masterminded by Dr. Luke (Katy Perry) and Claude Kelly (Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson), Adam opens this one up, Rocky Horror-meets-Robbie Williams-style, with the audacious declaration: "I'm here for your entertainment!" And he ain't kidding. This is an ultra-caffeinated party-starter (imagine if Mika, Sam Sparro, and Kevin Rudolf had a threesome that resulted in the conception of a glittery alien baby...if you dare), and it's just begging to be remixed by everyone from Calvin Harris to the Neptunes to Justice--even though it sounds like a shiz-hawt remix already, as is.

Unknown Track
WRITTEN BY: ??
PRODUCED BY: Dr. Luke

Holly, I just realized something. They said T4M would be on his album so in a way T4M IS his first single or at least one of two first singles (as silly as that sounds).
We can bring T4M stuff in here then? Like numbers and vid and stuff?

[AI8rox]

Good Idea.

Well, since it looks like "Time For Miracles" WILL be included in the debut album (most likely as a BONUS TRACK), then I think it's OK to bring sales information into this thread. I already included the video in the OP.

[AI8rox]

A bonus track!? AWESOME!

[lrich637]

Yay! Thank you for this thread!

[crackthatwhip]

Then what's the other thread for now? Might as well get it closed. I don't see the harm in discussing his competitors on his release date in a thread about his album, though.

I don't know. Maybe the other thread will be for discussing the competition. It's just that too many people were upset by how much the thread went off topic. Many didn't want to discuss the competition. They wanted a seperate thread that had only Adam album news and that ONLY.

[FunkyFrankie]

YAY for this thread!

[Kimberly_Caldwell_4_Life]

I agree. Thanks for making this, Holly. Some of us only want to read about Adam and his music, and not compare other people.

Yes. And even though sometimes I DO want to compare other people, sometimes I just want to get the album news and it sure is a pain after I've been at work all day to wade through 25 pages about Kris/Allison/Rihanna/Etc.'s new single. Both can have their place, but it's so nice not to have them be the SAME place.

It's a good idea to have this for Adam only info and the other one for all the rest. Not always easy when a discussion goes on but at least we can try.

[claysscgirl]

Thanks a million Holly for making this thread.

Now, let's hope it stays clean

[Vortex]

Thanks for the thread, Holly. It's going to keep things more organized.

[Kimberly_Caldwell_4_Life]

I'm still getting used to seeing his album just referred to For Your Entertainment rather than Adam's album.
