The Start of a Glitterier Era

Tweet

After the long drought, it seems the floodgates finally opened today, releasing a torrent of Adam-related goodness.  It's been a busy day for Adam followers, kicking off with a radio interview with the news that he's lined up to perform his as-yet undecided single at the American Music Awards on November 22nd - huge exposure and perfect timing just two days before the release of his album.  The prospect of an OTT spectacle involving Adam, fire and dancers has gotten me bursting with excitement.

Next on the itinerary was the announcing of the AMA nominations in a press conference.  It had been a long time since the last public appearance and that familiar curiosity over how he'd look returned.  He looked striking and radiant, with none of that tiredness I'd gotten used to seeing during the tour.  He added his own unique edge to dressing smart for the occasion.  I loved the details of the outfit - the colour and sheen of his shirt which managed to prevent the ensemble looking antiquated, the ribbon tie, the double-fronted waistcoat, the studded belt, the loose trousers and the upturned shoes.  I wasn't so keen on the gloves though, I thought the black leather was a bit too heavy for the rest of the outfit, which overall, just inched over into costume territory.  I'm a fan of the big shiny-looking manga hair which I think flatters the shape of his face.

There were plenty of interviews conducted after the press conference. I'll update and post links to the ones with new and interesting info here when they surface.
EDIT: Laura Saltman's interview - Adam seems very happy and dispels rumours of future gigs.  We know to expect something big next Tuesday.
EDIT II: MTV interview - Adam reveals that the leaked 'Michelin man' look constitutes part of the album artwork.

Another interesting development today was an interview with Rob Cavallo, who is heavily involved in producing Adam's album.  In addition to mentioning Adam's 'limitless' vocal range, he revealed the names of some of the songs: 'Winners', 'Music Again' and 'Suburban Decay' which will give us fuel to speculate and entertain ourselves as we wait.  What was more interesting though, is that he considers the sound to be a new 'Adam' sound.  My impatience is hitting its maximum setting.

The other huge news of the day, and what a day it has been indeed, is that Adam's TFM music video will be premiering as a trailer before 'Michael Jackson's This Is It'.  The worldwide audience for that is going to be colossal.  Apologies but eloquence has completely escaped me for now so I'll just end by stating what we all already knew.  Exciting times lie ahead - ADAM IS GOING TO BE FUCKING MASSIVE!!!
