Adam Lambert released a statement to EW responding to the release of songs he recorded with Hi-Fi Recordings.
“Back in 2005 when I was a struggling artist, I was hired as a studio singer to lend my vocals to tracks written by someone else. I was broke at the time and this was my chance to make a few bucks, so I jumped at the opportunity to record for my first time in a professional studio. The work I did back then in no way reflects the music I am currently in the studio working on. I’m thrilled to be working with some of today’s hottest songwriters and producers and can’t wait for people to hear what my music really sounds like.”
This statement from the CEO of Hi-Fi Recordings disputes Adam’s timeline. Who is lying?
John Hecker, CEO of Hi Fi Recordings, said the tracks were recorded in 2007 and 2008 before Lambert’s rise on the popular Fox singing competition. The album will be titled “On with the Show.””We were presented with a business opportunity,” said Hecker. “We accepted because Wilshire Records had a long working relationship with Adam, and it resulted in excellent music that they had the rights to. The music has an audience, and it deserves to be heard. I think it’s great music. At the end of the day, from my perspective, we’re really helping Adam.”

Seeing as the label has no reason to lie I would imagine they are being truthful. I may be confused, but is there a difference between what PH leaked (I don’t go to his blog, I find him the scum of humanity) and what Hi Fi Recordings are talking about?
This is all very interesting and I’m confused why everyone’s getting so up in arms about it. Adam Lambert has been a working and paid professional for several years – why would it surprise anyone that he’s recorded something? Even amateurs record demo CDs – this one is just a professional recording rather than recording in a “booth” to canned music. Are they concerned about over saturation? If that’s the case, I think they may be a tad bit too late.
