Adam Lambert Trespassing Your Soul....
Following the 2-year success of worldwide star Adam Lambert and his Glam Nation Tour, Adam belted out his new single, Better Than I Know Myself to audiences worldwide, which fans young and old eagerly awaited, and began purchasing and downloading on December 20, 2011 on iTunes, Amazon, and other platforms. It was produced by Dr. Luke and co-written by Claude Kelly, who are top-league faces in the industry. Some critics referred to his new single as more mainstream and radio-friendly than his hit singles on his prior album, which included Whataya Want From Me, If I Had You, and For Your Entertainment. His new single consists of a more subdued dance vibe than the 2009 For Your Entertainment album, with less Glam pop, and a greater concentration on his rare and captivating feature alongside every decibel of emotion - Adam's extensive vocal range and his higher register!
Fans may have gotten a sneak peak of his newer sound, but will have to not get too carried away, since his second album, TRESPASSING will be released on March 20, 2012. Until then, fans can only speculate. Better Than I Know Myself is a showcase of his soulful self which translates into his voice and delivery of phrases. In a public statement, Adam Lambert foreshadowed his new album, explaining it as "an exciting journey through the past two years of my life. It's been a transformative period, and I really wanted to make music from what I've experienced. All these songs honestly explore the ups and downs of my reality." Adam is the Executive Producer and co-wrote many songs. Besides Dr. Luke, and Claude Kelly, the album will also have a literal touch of inspiration from award-winning industry members such as BC Jean, Bonnie McKee, Nikka Costa, Nile Rogers, Benny Blanco, Pharrell Williams, Sam Sparro, and Bruno Mars.
In just more than a few years, the public has witnessed the uniquely extensive progression of Adam Lambert. We recall Adam Lambert's charismatic American Idol season 8 audition and star-studded performances, the release of his For Your Entertainment album which achieved over 1 million sales, and his Grammy nomination for "Best Male Pop Vocal Performance" for Whataya Want From Me. It is also remarkable how only a year after his spotlight on American Idol, he rocked the world on his Glam Nation Tour with over 100 performances in countries including the US, Canada, Asia, Australia, and Europe. In November 2011, he led a memorable performance at the MTV European Music Awards with Queen, who was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award. Audiences saw him as a front-runner to the famed group, but yet Adam was humble enough that he arranged for Queen to have the only introduction. Before the curtain went down, audiences walked away with visions and sounds of a rock solid soloist and rock group. Undoubtedly, Adam Lambert is a man of firsts, so the public will continue to hold Adam Lambert listening parties, birthday parties, Glamfests, purchase albums and digital downloads, and brainstorm on forums, as they stay tuned to his March 20th release. Better Than I Know Myself is a cliffhanger for the next chapter.

Jordin Puts The Sparks Into Her Battlefield Tour: An Opening Show Review
![]() |
Jordin's pizazz filling the space! |
Perlman PR was in attendance at the launching of her Battlefield Tour, on the evening of June 10th at Nokia Theatre in Times Square, NYC. The 24-city tour runs through July 16th, mostly in major cities from NYC to Orlando to Dallas, and from Los Angeles to Minneapolis, amongst others. She seldom takes a breath, being that another performance is set for almost every day, but yet perceives it with confidence as she takes One Step At A Time. Her album, Battlefield, was her second release, following in the fame garnered by her self-titled U.S. platinum first album, Jordin Sparks. Battlefield achieved placement on the Top 10 of Billboard's Top 200 albums chart. Previously, she achieved 3 Billboard Top 5 pop hits from her first album, including Tattoo, No Air, and One Step At A Time, which were incorporated into her tour.
As the doors of Nokia Theatre opened, the crowds poured in, filling up the spectacularly illuminated auditorium-style and standing room space, more or less to the brim. A number of young pop singers opened for Jordin Sparks. Although all talented and entertaining in their own way, the audience's cheer expressed how Jordin was the light at the end of the tunnel, and well-worth the long wait. Her hour-length performance slot resembled a novel, with each number rich in chapter. Some memorable numbers included Battlefield, Watch You Go, Emergency, Don't Let It Go To Your Head, No Parade, and S.O.S. (Let The Music Play). It Takes More was one such number that boasted her genuine high notes. The conclusive number was No Air, where the audience replaced Chris Brown's role, having the ability to lend a breath and evoking a harmonious chorus.
According to the June 9th NY Daily News, Jordin stated the following in anticipation of her opening show: "It's awesome to be able to say this is my show now. People are coming to see me, and I'm really excited; it's really great to be back in New York."
Jordin Sparks may have been a final act of the evening, but cast a lasting impression upon an audience that extended beyond the typical pop scene, and makes one ponder what's next in line for the star. Don't let your guard down!
