ADAM LAMBERT RELEASES BRAND-NEW SINGLE HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO

LOS ANGELES, CA (Friday, December 30) – Today, Grammy-nominated international superstar Adam Lambert released his new single, Holding Out For A Hero (Listen HERE and watch the official visualizer HERE). Produced by Andrew Wells, Adam’s Holding Out For A Hero is a glam-rock retelling of Bonnie Tyler’s 1980’s hit from Adam’s upcoming album High Drama (pre-order HERE), via his new deal with BMG.

Holding Out For A Hero marks the third song to be released from Adam’s upcoming album of inspired covers, following his stunning version of Noël Coward’s Mad About The Boy and powerful ballad version of the Duran Duran hit Ordinary World.

Adam is no stranger to impressing crowds with his carefully curated transformation of other artist’s songs, from the beginning of his career on American Idol, to his 2018 performance at The Kennedy Center Honors where Adam reduced Cher to tears with his delicate ballad reading of her mega-hit Believe, to his role as the current frontman of Queen.

Executive produced by Adam, alongside production from the likes of Tommy English (Kacey Musgraves, Carly Rae Jepsen), Andrew Wells (Halsey, OneRepublic), George Moore and Mark Crew, High Drama showcases a journey through modern music while highlighting Adam’s unmatched vocal talent. High Drama kickstarts the next chapter in Adam’s solo career, and of course draws on his well-known penchant for HIGH DRAMA! An artist comfortable in his own skin, being well and truly himself, and loving every minute.
