"For Your Entertainment" Track Listing Revealed:
Speculation on who Adam Lambert has been working with on his debut album can finally be put to rest! The track listing for Adam Lambert's "For Your Entertainment" has been revealed and we are excited to share it with you!
Adam comments on working with so many great producers and songwriters:
“I feel so lucky to have been granted true opportunity to work with some of the top producers and writers in popular music,” Says Adam. “This album is a reflection of their genius and the collaborative energy that they were gracious enough to share with me.”
The credits on Lambert’s first album read like a list of the hottest artists in the music business. Lady Gaga, long cited as a major influence on Adam, co-wrote the track “Fever” with producer Jeff Bhasker. P!nk is a co-writer on “Whataya Want From Me,” along with Sweden’s Max Martin and Johan Shellback. Matthew Bellamy, of the British prog rock/eletronica band Muse, one of Adam’s favorite groups, wrote “Soaked.”
Justin Hawkins, who was lead singer of the acclaimed British quartet the Darkness, wrote the lead track on the album, “Music Again.” Rivers Cuomo, co-founder, lead singer and principal songwriter for Weezer, is one of the writers on “Pick U Up,” along with Lambert and Greg Wells (“I Do Not Hook Up,” Kelly Clarkson).
There are other stellar names featured in the credits on Adam’s debut release. Rock goddess Linda Perry, responsible for hits like “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera and “Get The Party Started” by P!nk, is the writer and producer of “A Loaded Smile.” Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, whose credits include “Bleeding Love” for Leona Lewis and “Halo” for Beyoncé, wrote and produced “Sleepwalker.”
Adam co-wrote four of the songs on his album. In addition to “Pick U Up,” Adam penned “Strut” with Greg Wells and “American Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi; “Aftermath” with Alisan Porter, Ferras and Ely Rise; and “Broken Open” with Wells and Evan Bogart (whose credits include “S.O.S.” by Rihanna and “Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)” from “Slumdog Millionaire.”
Four of the tracks on “For Your Entertainment” are produced by Rob Cavallo, the A-list producer who has worked with Green Day, My Chemical Romance, David Cook, Alanis Morisette, Chris Isaak, Paramore, Jewel, Shinedown and Dave Matthews Band. Cavallo produced “Music Again,” “Soaked,” “Sure Fire Winners” and the bonus track, “Time For Miracles,” from the soundtrack to the new motion picture, “2012.”
One day before “For Your Entertainment” goes on sale, Adam will sing the title track on television for the first time, appearing on “The American Music Awards” on ABC-TV on Sunday, Nov. 22. He will give a special live concert performance on ABC-TV’s “Good Morning America” on Wednesday, Nov. 25, “Late Show With David Letterman” that same night on CBS and will pre-tape on Nov. 23.

Comments for this News article
the album is great
I listened to the 30 second song thingies on youtube!! "Music Again" sounds amazing!!!!! So does "Sure Fire Winners" I'm so EXCITED!!! The album is such a wide variety! It sounds so cool! Nov 23rd CAN NOT WAIT!!!
I've been awaiting the arrival of this album. It has been a very long time since I have seen an artist as versitile as Adam is, and if I had to sum him up in very few words I would describe him as the "New Age Elvis" (this isn't meant to be a put down, if some think that). I think you will go far Adam and will long be remembered in the entertainment realm. Good luck to you on your journies!!!
OMG I bought the new single "For Your Entertainment" this is hot new and refreshing. I love it! I keep replaying the song over and over again. I can't wait for the whole album. I also must say your pics in DETAILS magazine are hot! You are sexy!!!
why did they take off the snippets? I want to keep hearing them until 11/23.
OMG Adam I'm soooo excited for your album. I absolutely love TFM and FYE. I already pre-ordered one copy from Amazon and the deluxe copy from here and I will buy one copy from the store the day it comes out. I need them all so I can listen to you where ever I am. YOUR ARE AMAZING ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This journey with you has been one of the best rides of my life!
I heard the snippets at Amazon UK and on YouTube and absolutely adored them. Unfortunately, they are not available anymore, and the cd that I preordered will not arrive for several weeks. Also, does anyone know when we might be hearing some of these songs on the radio? I think that I heard somewhere that the radio stations have NOT received the singles (even the two that were released) so they cannot play them on the air. I am longing to hear these, and it would really help Adam's career and his album sales once folks who may not be fans yet can hear how talented Adam is.
I can't wait for the release of this CD. It comes out the same day I have to go back to the dentist. Why did I say that? ugh. anyways, I can't wait till I get it in the mail. <3 you, Adam.

it looks like an absolute dream team of people to help Adam out on his debut. I can't wait
Luv it!!! luv Miracle!!! luv everything I've heard him sing, on Idol, Youtube!!! and I'm not even a rock fan. I'm a golden oldies, Carrie Underwood kinda person, so I don't know what it is about Adam's unique voice that gets to me!!!! but he's convinced me ROCK is a good thing!!!!!! and he's a GREAT artist!!!!
BTY its a really hotttt song with a great beat!!!!
Can't wait for the cd to come out, I just have 1 question for everyone.
I was able for download For your entertainment(came from limewire) and came across another song by Adam called glamerize.
Noticed its not on his new cd, says its from his upcoming cd.
Anyone know where the song came from?

OMG can't wait i heared a preveiw of the album it ROCKS!!!!!!! I luv the whole thing it's hard for me to choose a fav but i think it's Music Again!!!!!! NOVEMBER 23 CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!
Hmmmmm well that explains why all the snippets from the tracks I listened to sounded sooo familiar. I am happy Adam got to work with such talented people and they with him, but I think perhaps I got Adam all wrong. I loved the passion and originality of his performances on Idol. It seems, however that his tastes in music were not really showcased on that show. I still love his voice, and his attitude, but I wonder if I did not really love the charectors he protrayed in each genre of music on the show. He is an actor as well as a singer. But I'm beginning to wonder if he isn't the original musician I first thought he might be. I do wish him the very best. I am sure this album will be a huge success. I am not sure I am going to like it that much. Guess I will have to just wait and see...oh and I look forward to reading what Rolling Stone has to say about it as well. The hype has been great. So too, I hope, is the final product. Have fun Adam. Enjoy your moments in the sun.
got a chance to preview the tracks! trying to pick my favorite. ummmmmm...ok, i give up...i like em all! but..."Music Again" is freakin AH-mazing!!!!!!! pumped to listen to the whole album!
Adam you have stolen my heart - Love it - your music is all that I listen too - it's Adam 24/7. Can't wait until I can listen to the entire album.
#1 Adam Madam (Evie)

Adam, I'm sure you're very happy and honored by people who are collaborating on a new album (writing songs), but I would say that, of course, all of them are also honored to work with you. After all, it was you who, with his immense talent and charisma, was able to make so many people to be so in love with you. Certainly his album will do the most successful and along with it, all the songs. By the way, loved your jacket in the 2012 premiere . Kisses!!!
Do you know when if your Time for Miracles music video is going to be able to be voted for in the Vh1 Top 20 Countdown ever?
and just as a side note..
I listed to the 30-second snippet things of your songs on amazon .. and I must say that Music Again is my FAVORITE song so far : )
It sounds so much like Queen I just love it
!!
Thanks, good to have it from the official source. Couple questions -
Actually Aimee Mayo was the lead writer of Sleepwalker and she worked on that song for 6 months and was the MOST excited of anyone saying she never fought so hard to get a song on a record, so attributing it to just Tedder in the story isn't quite fair.
Adam was given co -song writing credit along with Linda Perry up until now, was that correct or incorrect?
Please fix the paragraph about Sleepwalker to credit Aimee Mayo she deserves it tremendously.She said Adam inspired her to write again. We love her. I guess it's politics.
Wow. Judging by the song titles, the people who worked on the songs, Adam's single and his talent, this is gonna be an epic album. ^^
It looks like this album is going to be great. He has tons of great song writers and producers helping him out. I bet it's going to be spectacular i can't wait until i can listen to all of it. Adam should be stoked.
