Rob Cavallo, the mastermind behind David Cook's debut album, along with a slew of other huge artists (Dave Matthews Band, My Chemical Romance, Jewel, Alanis Morissette, Green Day, and the list goes on), is also behind four of the tracks on Adam Lambert's highly anticipated debut album, For Your Entertainment, which drops November 23rd. I love that he is going against the grain of most AI alums, who usually go with a self-titled debut album. Granted, I'm not a music exec, and I'm sure there are good reasons for going that route as well, but I love the title. And if the list of other music geniuses involved in the making of this album has anything to do with it, entertaining it shall be.
This is from the PRNewswire last night:
Lady Gaga, long cited as a major influence on Adam, c-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 Beyonce, wrote and produced "Sleepwalker."
Adam doesn't rely solely on the music veterans enlisted, of course, as he, himself, helped to pen four of the songs on the album. New American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi even helped to write one of the songs, the aptly titled "Strut," along with Greg Wells. You can see the full list of songs and credits on Adam's official web site.
If you like action films and love Adam, you will most likely be as in awe of the video for "Time For Miracles," as I am. Check it out below:
