Note: I’m not a native Japanese speaker and I don’t translate professionally. There are some phrases in Japanese that are beyond my ability to translate properly to English so some liberties had to be taken. I hope there aren't any major errors as my Japanese reading comprehension abilities are really rusty. /o\

Adam Lambert Speaks on His Thoughts on His New Album
"Meeting my present boyfriend was an extremely powerful and important event"
On 11 January, at Adam Lambert's management office, we were able to have an early preview of six tracks off his upcoming album "Trespassing" (due 28 March). (With the exception of "Better Than I Know Myself", his first single due 22 Feb, the songs were still in a rare, pre-mastered, rough-mix state.) Although the single this time is a gorgeous and dramatic ballad, the other five songs are quite varied.
"Kickin' In" and the album's title track, "Trespassing" – written with N.E.R.D's Pharrell Williams – are dance numbers with extremely funky bass and beats that make one want to get onto one's feet. In both songs, Adam's vocals are a little reminiscent of Michael Jackson and uplift the spirit. "Cuckoo", written with Bonnie Mckee (Katy Perry's "California Girls", "Teenage Dream"), is an extremely enjoyable dance-pop piece.
These songs are balanced out by the other tracks: for instance there's the slightly dark ballad "Broken English"; and there's also "Underneath", which is a really gorgeous song that begins with just Adam's vocals accompanied by piano. The songs are all brilliant. It seems that Adam has decided to split the songs in Trespassing into two halves of light and dark songs; both these sides of fun and serious, soul-penetrating songs will surely make the album an enjoyable one.

INROCK: In the latest press release, you said, "[Trespassing has been] an exciting journey through the past two years of my life. It's been a transformative period." Let's talk about events that have stood out to you in the past two years; what comes to mind?
Adam Lambert: I think it would have to be meeting my present boyfriend. That was an extremely powerful and important event. By building a relationship with him, my life has really changed. It's really enriched my life; it's inspired me and made me feel really good. It's really exciting. I've been seeking a relationship like this for the longest time. My boyfriend feels the same way too.
More to come after the issue goes on sale on Feb 15
