Last week, I threw up a post about the indie label Hi-Fi Recordings/Wilshire Records releasing an album of Adam Lambert called On With the Show later this summer. In the same post, I had Adam's response to it all, with him saying that the tracks were recorded back in 2004 because he needed some money and the label would pay for his vocals. But now the label is firing back at Adam, saying that his claims aren't true at all.
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’s 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's 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.
Who do you believe? Adam or the label that's releasing his album? I gotta say...I'm kinda leaning toward the record label on this one. I feel like Adam was told to say what he said from his current label. We'll see what happens...
