Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert revealed the cover of his upcoming album, For Your Entertainment, last week. Adam said the ‘80s-inspired aesthetic and glam nature of the cover is “deliberately campy…a homage to the past.” He collaborated with two popular U.K. rock acts on a song called “Soaked” written by Muse, and a track called “Music Again,” which was written by Justin Hawkins of “The Darkness.”
