Cover Revealed For Adam Lambert Sophomore Album ‘Trespassing’

Adam Lambert’s sophomore album, a follow-up to debut For Your Entertainment, is expected to hit stores in March, and today, the album cover was revealed. Unlike the kitch and semi-irony of his debut’s cover art, Trespassing’s has the American Idol Season 8 runner-up looking a bit more serious. Then again, that has been Lambert’s aim for this release. Earlier this year, he said: "This album is different in that it has a more serious tone. There is definitely fun, upbeat music on there too. This album has a thread of honesty in that it is real and personal. The last album was more of a fantasy and this album is a search for my identity."

Lambert recently premiered one of the album’s tracks, “Better Than I Know” on The Tonight Show, and Trespassing is considered one of the most anticipated releases of 2012. Yet, unlike the glam character of his debut (and his run on Idol), Trespassing goes in a different direction. He explained: "[The album is] an exciting journey through the past two years of my life. It's been a transformative period and I really wanted to make music from what I've experienced. All these songs honestly explore the ups and downs of my reality.

The sound, specifically, is: "Nine Inch Nails meets ‘Saturday Night Fever’. […] There's party music, sex music, f*cked-up-relationship S&M music. But every song explores something real."

Although Trespassing is garnering a fair amount of attention, a fight with his boyfriend outside a Finland club has been the singer’s most recent media mark. According to reports, Lambert and Sauli Koskinen, a reality TV celebrity in the Scandinavian country, started to argue inside a club, and after the two were kicked out, their disagreement escalated on the street.

Considering the controversy over the cover art for Lambert’s debut, what do you think of Trespassing’s?
