Adam Lambert pompously covers The Advocate November Issue. In the piece, titled “Reinventing Adam Lambert,” the singer details the songs on his upcoming album due spring of 2012. Adam details to Advocate editors that his new creation will be more personal with a “Nine Inch Nails meets George Michael” vibe, “I know that’s a weird mash-up, but that’s what it feels like”. “I think it’s going to let people underneath my facade a little bit — a self-created and totally admitted facade. I’m trying to convey to my audience that you really can’t judge a book by its cover, and there’s more to the universe than you can see with your eyes. It’s like existential pop.”

Adam stated his attitude about his place as a gay cultural figure, eventually asking: “Where’s there balance for me? I’m a musician and I’m writing music. I’m also becoming more involved sociopolitically, I’m getting involved with the Trevor Project and Equality California — these are things that I really do care about. But I do want to maintain a balance. What am I going to be known for in 15 years? I want to be known for my music, that’s my art.” Check Out the Photos from A Day in the Gay America!
