Lambert: 'My album won't be one genre'

Adam Lambert has insisted that his debut record won't be "one specific genre".

In an interview with E!, the runner-up of this season's American Idol said that he doesn't want a "box" put around him by a record label.

"Obviously, we want the album to have a cohesive sound, but I think it can kind of be a collection of different styles with me at the centre as the common thread," he explained.

When asked if the LP would have the '80s glam rock sound he demonstrated on the show, the singer said that "little bits" of the genre would be present.

"If anything, I'm more fond of the '70s glam feel than the '80s, even though I have that vocal style," Lambert added. "There are a lot of pop artists using the glam kind of vibe in their music. So I think I'm part of a wave, and there just happens to not be many guys doing it right now."
