Adam Lambert Says He Had a “Radiohead Moment” When Recording Debut Album
Rolling Stone sat down with American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert in the new issue of the magazine, and while discussing the recording of his debut album, For Your Entertainment, Lambert claimed he had what Rolling Stone calls a “Radiohead moment.” When talking about the ballad “Broken Open” on his debut, Lambert compared the sound of the song to that of the Oxford-bred band.
Says Lambert, “‘Broken Open’ you could put it in the same category as a downtempo Goldfrapp song or even like Radiohead, there’s shades of that in there, very electronic but mellow, very ethereal.” The American Idol alum continues to describe the song saying, “The lyrics are basically encouraging someone to feel safe in being vulnerable. ‘Lay here, it’s safe here, I’ll let you be broken open.’ It’s about that moment where someone really opens up emotionally to you. I just wrote than from experiences that I’ve had with certain people in my life, and I hope that it comes across that way.”
