GRAMMY-nominated international superstar and LGBTQ+ trailblazer Adam Lambert unleashes his most liberated and unfiltered body of work today with daring new dance-centric EP AFTERS via The Orchard. Radiating “freedom, hedonism and liberation” (Gay Times), AFTERS captures the essence of modern queer culture through six uninhibited tracks with pulsating beats and sultry lyrics.
“With AFTERS, I finally feel like I’m creating exactly what I want without holding back,” says Lambert. “I’ve never felt more empowered and confident in myself and my artist. I hope anyone who listens to this EP feels as liberated and fearless as I did when creating it.”
Of his inspirations for the EP, Lambert previously shared: “Creating AFTERS has been such a liberating experience as I chose to craft an EP of house music that’s unapologetically queer and sex positive. I throw many house parties and my aim was to create a soundtrack inspired by wild nights, giving a voice to our communities’ hedonistic desires and exploits. Feeling more confident than ever, I wanted to get shamelessly raw and real with the listener. AFTERS is meant to make you move, sweat, fantasize and connect!”
Featured on the EP is the focus track, “NECK,” that dives deep into primal desires and raw passion. A mix of intensity and sensuality, “NECK” is more than a song – it’s an invitation to experience the wild side of desire and boldly explore carnal instincts and uninhibited pleasure.
Prior to release, Lambert offered fans a taste of the EP with three tracks that caught the attention of fans and critics alike: “CVNTY,” the fiery kiss off anthem marking his debut as a vocal producer, the hypnotic and longing “WET DREAM,” that details how it feels when a ‘homo takes it home,’ and “LUBE,” a pulsating track that is as direct as it is oozing with sensuality.
Lambert has been fittingly previewing the EP while hosting untamed AFTERparties vibrantly worshiping queer culture on both coasts leading up to release. Most recently, he teamed up with New York nightlife legend Susanne Bartsch whose iconic On Top party celebrated AFTERS with trendy guests including DJ Griffin Maxwell Brooks and Age of Aquaria (RuPaul’s Drag Race). Back in Los Angeles, Lambert took West Hollywood’s nightlife scene to new heights following his WeHo Pride performance that captivated all in attendance. Notable LA guests included Kesha, Gottmik (RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars), Kevin McHale (Glee), and Valentina (RuPaul’s Drag Race).
Keeping the celebrations going, Lambert’s nonprofit Feel Something Foundation will hold its first-ever charity flea market and silent auction on Sunday, July 21 in partnership with CULTUREEDIT, the Los Angeles LGBT Center, and GLAAD. From 12-3pm PT, a vibrant collection of artists, vendors, and independent shop owners will gather in The Village at Ed Gould Plaza at the Los Angeles LGBT Center to show and sell their offerings and bring the community together. Simultaneously, a silent auction of Lambert’s personal items including stage pieces, clothing and accessories, memorabilia, artwork and housewares will take place just around the corner at CULTUREEDIT.
