Is Adam Lambert already getting too big for his britches?
In response to an independent record label’s plans to release an album of pre-Idol tracks called On With The Show, Lambert said, “The work I did back then in no way reflects the music I am currently in the studio working on.”
Glambert claims he just sang on the songs and did not have any hand in writing them.
But the label, Hi Fi Recordings, disagrees. They counter:
“Adam is now enjoying the success that he and Wilshire Records hoped for. However, he is now represented by high-profile companies who released a statement in Adam├óΓé¼Γäós name saying the songs on On With the Show were recorded four years ago and Adam only contributed vocals. This is simply not true.
“The songs were recorded in a professional recording studio with top notch musicians and producers since the music was always meant to be released. Of the 11 songs that will appear on the album, On With the Show, Adam co-wrote eight with Monte Pittman (Madonna├óΓé¼Γäós guitar player).
“As co-writer and performer, Adam will receive significant royalties just as any superstar artist would. He has the chance, finally, to make a fortune for his work — definitely more with this album than through a major label deal.
“This pre-Idol work is a fantastic representation of who Adam is and what inspired him during the months before he became famous. We intend to see that Adam will still benefit from the success of ‘Want’ (on iTunes now), and from the sale of On With the Show, even though he is now part of a major franchise that only wants fans to hear the music Adam records for them.”
Which sounds pretty reasonable to us, don’t ya think?
