Adam Lambert's New Album 'halfway done'

Adam Lambert, runner up of American Idol, Season 8 has opened up about his much anticipated new album, saying that it's "about halfway done."

In a recent interview with People Lambert says, "We've been doing a lot of work on it during the tour as well ... We're still gathering material and we're scheduling more recording sessions for when it's over." In response to questions about what's on the album he says, "There are songs on there that are anthems; there are songs that make you want to dance; there are songs that make you feel sexy; there are songs that touch you, hopefully, with more emotional, insightful, deeper lyrics. There are songs that are more in the line with a rock sound. There are some that are really pop-oriented." He didn't release details of the title of the album or the release date but according to People, rumor flying on the streets suggests that the record will be released across the United States on November 17, the same day his Idol pal Kris Allen releases his debut album. There has also been speculation about what the album cover will look like, considering the singer's flamboyant style. Allie is Wired says of a possible album cover photo shoot,

It’s way out there with his slicked hair, makeup, and a Hefty bag contraption that he’s wearing. It looks like a somewhat deflated black Stay Puft marshmallow outfit….the only thing that’s missing is the hat! No wait, he totally looks like the Michelin Man.

Adam has been very busy these past few months. Most recently he scored music for the upcoming movie, 2012. According to Queen's Brian May, the song is "sensational" and "obviously a number one smash." There is also no word on the release of the song for 2012.
