GRAMMY-nominated international superstar Adam Lambert has delivered the official music video for his “alluring” (Billboard) and “powerful” (NME) desire-driven track “EAT U ALIVE” today (watch the video HERE). Shot in Paris and directed by Vitalii Akimov, the hyper-contemporary music video captures the tension-filled song’s dark pop edge and was first premiered by Purple Fashion Magazine.
“EAT U ALIVE” is the first song to be released from Lambert’s sixth studio album, ADAM, arriving Friday, July 10 via his own label/distributed via The Orchard (pre-save now). Featuring an infectious, high-energy chorus and dripping with insatiable primal desire, “EAT U ALIVE” shines a spotlight on Lambert’s powerhouse vocal abilities and introduces listeners to the dark industrial texture that will come to define much of the album.
Largely inspired by the 90s alternative and electronica, ADAM expertly blends multiple genres to create something timeless. Featuring artwork by renowned fashion photographer Nick Knight and executive produced by Pete Nappi (Jon Bellion, Jon Batiste, Jonas Brothers, Rihanna, Pharrell Williams), the self-titled LP features 12 diverse new songs and marks a fully realized exploration into all facets of Lambert’s humanity and otherworldly artistry.
“‘EAT U ALIVE’ is the perfect primer into my next musical chapter,” said Lambert. “I wanted to create songs that fit into a world reminiscent of the music that made a formative impact on me in the 90s and early 00’s. Nine Inch Nails, Björk, Prince, Muse, Goldfrapp, Daft Punk, George Michael, Massive Attack and the Crystal Method are just a few who inspired the sound. The album explores both the light and shade of life and the razor’s edge that separates a positive experience from a negative one. I hope these songs connect with anyone who has been through the confusing but necessary process of self-acceptance. There was a real liberation in acknowledging my own weaknesses and strengths. Accepting the bad and the good all together. Revolutionary for someone who always thought of himself as a perfectionist and Idealist.”
To celebrate the release of ADAM, Lambert will perform can’t-miss album release shows in select cities across the U.S. and U.K./E.U.. Tickets are on sale now for the special live shows that kick off on release day, July 10, in Los Angeles before making stops in Brooklyn, London and more before concluding July 23 in Berlin.
“EAT U ALIVE” marks the first original music from Lambert since his critically-acclaimed Broadway debut in 2024 starring as ‘Emcee’ in the TONY Award-winning production of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club for which The New York Times praised his “theatrical chops” and Variety called it a role he was “born to play.” Due to fan demand, he released “I Don’t Care Much” as a single in collaboration with Andrew Lloyd Webber, which he debuted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He followed up that acclaimed role with Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl in August 2025 where he starred as ‘Judas’ alongside Cynthia Erivo as ‘Jesus.’ The three night run of shows received rave reviews with TheWrap touting it as “the theater world’s hottest ticket.” Variety also praised the “smashing” three night run of shows saying, “If Lambert and Erivo could both be signed up for Broadway, this show would surely run for as many months, years or millennia as they were willing to commit to it.”
