During the accompanying interview, Lambert repeatedly talks about the lessons he learned about portraying the right impression to “the masses.” Specifically calling out his Details spread and kissing his keyboard player during the American Music Awards, Lambert says: “The AMA thing was maybe a little too much, too soon, and the photo shoot for Details, although very beautiful, maybe it wasn’t the right timing,” he admits. As for the future, Lambert says, “Now that I have established who I am and I’ve gotten it out of my system, what’s really important – without denying or downplaying my pride as a gay man – is the music.” 

About his sophomore album which will be released next year, Lambert tells his fans to expect personal songs and says he has a lot more control on how it will be recorded. “This is definitely the album that I want to make. I’m getting time with it, I’m able to say, ‘I want to re-record that vocal,’ or ‘Let’s bring this song to another producer or a different beat put on it’. So I’m getting to immerse myself in the process. I feel like I’m getting to take the necessary time.”
