Exciting news has come this week from Adam Lambert, who's announced a whole new record deal with Warner Bros - the label which will publish his forthcoming third studio album.

Not only this, but Adam has enlisted Max Martin and Shellback as executive producers for the LP.
Speaking of the experience of working with two of the music business' biggest names, Adam commented: "I was working on demos and scheduled a meeting with them. They're two of my favourite producers and at the very top of their game. I love everything they do, and was really excited to sit back down with them after having worked on 'For Your Entertainment'.
It was great to reminisce and laugh. It was an easy, humble, casual vibe, and when you're in the studio, that's what you want. I played them a song and we got very excited. They heard my personal growth, and lyrically, the things that I was trying to say. Long story short, they offered me a deal to be executive producers of this album, and that felt like a big moment."
Going on to speak about his exit from RCA, Adam added: "The next day, Warner Bros. contacted us, which I thought was pretty amazing and it was a kind of relief. It was just a scary thing to make that announcement to the world."
In a chat with Billboard around the announcement, Max Martin explained: "Shellback and I first worked with Adam in 2009 on 'Whataya Want From Me', and we realised then that a voice and talent like Adam Lambert's doesn't come around very often. We loved the experience and hoped our paths would cross again. So, when Adam came to us with a new opportunity to work together, we leapt at it and even suggested a deeper relationship where we would get the chance to really help define Adam's music over a whole album.
"This has been a great journey, as we teamed up with the perfect partner in Warner Brothers. We can't wait for everyone to hear the dynamic album. We are really proud of it and hope you like it as much as we do!"
Adam Lambert's highly-anticipated lead single from the record is to be released in April.
