Here’s the problem with being an overnight success: People want product and they want it now. And the word “Want” will play a prominent role in this post, as you are about to find out. BWE.tv’s 2009-??? Mascot Adam Lambert is currently working non-stop in preparation for the Idols tour as well as putting together his highly anticipated debut album. But what’s this? Back in 2005, Lambert recorded some tracks for Hi Fi Recordings/Wilshire Records, which have been in a closet aging and collecting dust, while Lambert has grown more powerful and well known the world over. And would you believe? That company now, in an effort to capitalize off of Lambies newfound fame, is releasing one of those singles.
The song is called “Want”, and in one of the biggest record industry c*ck blockings of all time, the single will be hitting Itunes tomorrow along with a handful of other Baby Lambert melodies on an album called “On With The Show”. Lambert, who is working with Lady Gaga’s people on his post-Idol debut, had this to say:
“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. The work I did back then in no way reflects the music I am currently in the studio working on. 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.â€
OK, so Lambert isn’t behind the music. But still, can we all kinda sorta agree that we’re excited for anything new and Lambert related? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I could listen to him sing at the Chabad Telethon on repeat for hours on end, but after a while, the world wants more. Want… and we shall receive. Here is Lambert’s pre-fame debut single from back in 2005, “Want.” The lyrics are fairly re-re, but as songs go, it’s not the worst thing we’ve ever heard. Like… we’d listen to it in our most desperate of times:
Comments time!: Do you guys love it or hate it? More importantly: Will you be buying this, or do you have the willpower to wait for Lambert’s actual post-Idol debut album out this fall? I’m leaning towards boycotting the album, unless of course there’s a song on it called “My Best Friend’s Baby Daddy Is Me”, in which case, I’ll reconsider.
