After spending the second half of 2017 rocking out as the lead singer of Queen, Adam Lambert said during an interview and photo shoot for Wonderland Magazine that “fans have been waiting long enough” for new music. “I’ve really been trying to explore what I want the sound and subject matter to be,” he told the magazine. “I want it to be authentic and real and something that felt natural to me. Because it’s such a competitive industry.”
Lambert posed in a yellow hoodie, red eye liner and a long checkered white jacket that extended below his knee caps for the shoot, which also found him wearing a black button-up, complimented by a blue cardigan with red stripes scattered along the arm in another shot. “So I’ve been really focused on trying to stay in my own truth in everything and it’s been going really well because now I feel like everything is coming together,” the 36-year-old pop star said, without revealing when a new album might be released.

Lambert also addressed homophobia in the music industry, “I think there definitely was more of an element in the business [back in 2009,]” he said. “But I didn’t find that the people I was dealing with were actually homophobic but I definitely think they were a little bit worried about ‘how are we going to sell this artist to the masses?’” Lambert recently teased new music in February via Twitter, writing, “I have been working really hard on it! The album is gonna be yummy!” The former American Idol runner-up released his latest single “Two Fux” last summer, a song that tackled Lambert’s challenges with A.D.D.
