Generic it is... generic, forgettable, bullshit. That’s why he can’t sell his music.
Indie is irrelevant to his sales. If you beg to disagree, Queen is indie with a distributor, too.
So are all their members for solo music.
I disagree about the generic part, you might not like it but it's very different from his EDM/overprocessed music and has real instruments as opposed to computerised stuff (that's my definition of generic).
Queen aren't indie, what a ridiculous comment, they were with EMI etc and are now part of Universal etc that's hardly indie. No idea why you keep banging on about it anyway, Adam's solo career has zero to do with him singing with Brian & Roger.
I think AL's solo career has at least some things to with Brian and Roger. He spends more time touring with Brian and Roger, for one thing than his own music, and sometimes anot AL so.on song is incl in Q+AL shows and AL has said he's influenced by Queen. Lines are blurred many times, even now, apparently a single while he's tour with Brian and Roger. There you go.
Adam is a solo artist, spends quite a bit of time touring with Brian & Roger and has to fit his own career in with the QAL stuff. Yeah they do the odd song of his on some tours (as opposed to doing a lot of Paul's), they offered, Adam refused, and this tour so far none of Adam's, he doesn't need to throw loads of his songs into the tours, that's not what it's about for him and he doesn't feel it's appropriate. He's influenced by lots of music, music is his life and his playlist is crazy, lots of styles so of course some will influence his music style at different times.
Why shouldn't he put a single out at this time, he's gearing up to release the album after the Aus/NZ QAL tour finishes and want's to release a single or two prior to that, if he wait's until after the end of the first let of the tour he won't have time to release singles and promo them and then the album before the next leg of the tour starts (simple logic).
First off, my apologies if I come across as if I'm fighting with you, and for any typos, I'm feeling very out of it. I was actually hooked up to an IV for a bit yesterday.
You say he has to fit his solo career in with the Brian and Roger stuff. I think it's clear at this point which comes first for him. It's Q+AL how I see it.
As for PR, his music suited the shows more than AL's solo music, maybe that's why there have been an AL solo songs added from time to time. TwoFux wasn't better with Brian and Roger playing on it, it was a mess. It didn't make the song a bigger hit what have you.
AL's solo music, and the fact he has released some of it while he's involved with Brian and Roger touring, sorry the timing comes across as tacky. Why not wait until Q+AL is over, it seems he still wants the Queen fans attention. This is partly what i mean when I say he is riding on coattails. As for his upcoming song with Nile, it will be the same old, same old, some Glamberts trying to unfair boost the numbers for it. It's unlikely to be a big hit, and if it does be big, I'll eat my hat ;-).
Last year they toured for six weeks plus a couple of one off private events and the Global Citizen gig. This tour in total will be less than 12 weeks so out of 52 weeks per year (that leaves 40 this year and over 40 last year not QAL related) I'd say Adam has been focusing a lot more on his solo career than QAL.
I don't think Paul's music suited Queen any more than Adam's does but there were probably a lot of Queen fans who may have been fans of Paul as well and would know the music. The majority of Adam's solo music isn't suited to Queen gigs I agree although quite a lot liked the rocked up version of Ghost Town but Adam's probably just as aware that the two styles don't really blend and that a lot of the Queen fans wouldn't even have heard his music so he's not about to have the energy die down while everyone sits there wondering what's this they're playing, they drop Queen deep cuts for the same reason.
I've already explained why he's releasing that song while on tour, the tour ends on 29th Feb, allowing for him travelling back and getting into gear to do promo he has until 24th May to release a single or two and the album and promo it, makes sense to put the song out now, he's balancing two careers and works things out time wise as best he can. He intends to tour after the QAL tour ends in July so he needs to get the songs and album out while he has the chance before the tour starts up in May again.
He's had enough experience releasing music while he's been working with Brian & Roger to know the Queen fans aren't gonna go and buy his music just because he releases it while he's on tour with them he's releasing it for his own fans as it will form part of Side B of his album. Cosmicc keeps bleating on about how working with them can't help his solo career, can't have it both ways.
The song with Nile may or may not be good and will be or not be a hit, doesn't matter, he loves working with Nile and he clearly loves working with Adam, this has been in the making from ages ago and they've had to get together when they were both free so it's taken a while. No one except on here thinks he's riding coattails or using QAL to promote his music, he's worked with them since 2012 and it's hasn't helped so that argument doesn't fly in the slightest. Even the Queen members solo stuff has never been helped by them being Queen including Freddie's, totally pointless argument.
