Adam Lambert is releasing his new album ‘High Drama’ on 24th February 2023 via Warner Music and it’s his first collection of covers.
The powerhouse vocalist is taking on classic tracks from the likes of Duran Duran and Bonnie Tyler, putting his own twist on them. Of course, Lambert’s fans will know the singer is no stranger to covers having performed many over his career so far.
In celebration of ‘High Drama’ arriving next month, I’ve put together my Top 5 covers that Lambert has done. Please note, I’ve not included any Queen songs. Keep reading to find out what’s made the cut…
5‘Barracuda’ with Lea Michele
4‘Mad About The Boy’
The first song unveiled from ‘High Drama’, ‘Mad About The Boy’ is a cover of the NoĆ«l Coward favourite. While the studio version is divine, it’s the performance Lambert did on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ that really stands out. Always at his best in a live arena, Lambert gave the song a real atmosphere and wowed audiences all over the world.
3‘Mad World’
2‘Nessun Dorma’
If you didn’t already know that Lambert had an incredible voice, you certainly found out by watching his remarkable cover of ‘Nessun Dorma’, which was performed on the latest Queen + Adam Lambert tour. Is there anything the man can’t sing? It doesn’t seem like it. Listen to that range, control and vibrato!!
1‘Believe’
Lambert performed this song in honour of Cher who was being celebrated at the 41st Annual Kennedy Center Honors in 2018. Transforming the 90s dance bop into a stripped-back piano track, Lambert even had Cher wiping away tears as she watched adoringly from the audience. This is how you do a cover version!
