Adam Lambert tells The Associated Press what fans can expect from debut album. “My record will be kind of a rock-pop-electronic-dance thing,” the ‘American Idol’ season eight runner-up said. “I don’t know how to describe it. I think it’s gonna take on a life of its own, as far as genre goes. There’s a way to take the glam rock of the ’70s and the classic rock of the ’70s and kind of modernize it… I want it to be produced in a very very current, almost futuristic, way.”

Adam Lambert tells People magazine that his comfort with who he is can serve as an example to others. “It feels really amazing to be able to try and pass that on to kids and young adults who don’t have a role model like that,” the ‘American Idol’ season eight runner-up said. “It feels great because I never had a role model like that.”
