FORTHCOMING ALBUM, "ON WITH THE SHOW," FEATURES 11 RECENT TRACKS, 8 CO-WRITTEN
BY LAMBERT

NEW YORK, June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The much-discussed new single, "Want" by
Adam Lambert will be available on iTunes beginning June 23rd, 2009. The song
comes from a full album entitled On With The Show, which will be released by
Hi Fi Recordings/Wilshire Records this summer. The vast majority of songs on
the album were co-written by Lambert, in fact; eight tracks of the forthcoming
eleven song album were co-written by the artist. "Want" was produced by
Malcolm Welsford with additional production by Mark Endert (Maroon 5, The
Fray, Fiona Apple).

On With The Show is drenched in Lambert's signature sound and style.  It is
part of the more than two albums' worth of material he recorded with
production and publishing company Wilshire Records over the course of their
three year relationship. Before any other major entity, producer Malcolm
Welsford and his independent label, Wilshire, recognized Lambert's musical
gift and nurtured and supported his development. Both in the studio and as a
writer, Adam honed his craft with the help of the producers, who also
wholeheartedly encouraged Lambert to pursue his Idol opportunity.

Adam's success on the show allowed America to see what Wilshire Records always
believed - his meteoric rise to prominence was no fluke, it came from years of
hard work and talent.

Partner label, Hi Fi Recordings, also an independent label and home to Idol
alumn Melinda Doolittle, Smashmouth, Todd Rundgren. Dionne Warwick, and Donny
& Marie (Osmond), is known for their unconventional and artist-friendly
partnerships and profit splits. On With The Show is the first release in an
overall deal between Wilshire and Hi Fi to develop other Wilshire artists and
collaborate on new releases. 

The decision to release On With The Show was made after the Hi Fi team heard
and was blown away by the quality of the material.

Hi Fi Recordings CEO John Hecker, who in addition to artists listed above
previously signed Avril Lavigne, Spacehog and Marvelous 3, states, "As fans of
Adam's work ourselves, it is a top priority to us that Adam shares in the
success of this music. Hands down, "Want" is one of the biggest radio smashes
I have heard in a long time and the album will contain more of the same. We're
thrilled to see that fans on message boards across the internet overwhelmingly
agree that the song is a hit with them. As a prelude to Adam's Fall album,
we're thrilled to be able to share the music of "ON WITH THE SHOW," which
Wilshire Records put so much time into developing with the artist."

Hi Fi President and music publishing veteran, John Titta will also be heavily
involved in all aspects of the album, from all creative decisions concerning
the repertoire to the licensing of the masters and copyrights.
