Adam Lambert returned on Friday, May 15 with a new song. Called "Underground", it was released as another preview of his forthcoming third studio album "The Original High", which is due out next month.

"Underground" is a slow-tempo piano-driven ballad on which the former "American Idol" contestant sings about getting lost without his significant other. "I look at myself and I don't know/ How I'm stuck to you like velcro/ Can't rip you off and go solo/ I'm in trouble," he tells his lover.

Produced by hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback, "The Original High" is led by single "Ghost Town" and is scheduled to hit the stores on June 16 via Warner Bros. Records. It will also include collaborations with Queen's Brian May and Swedish singer/songwriter Tove Lo.

"Sonically it feels more contemporary than my previous material. It's definitely pop, but not bubblegum," Lambert recently explained how his new project would be different from its predecessors. "We have avoided camp and theatrics and have favored a darker, more grounded vibe, and at the same time, it will make you dance!"

He continued, "Lyrically, its very very personal, the album has an overall bittersweet feel to it. Vocally, I think it's my most tasteful, sophisticated work to date. With Max's guidance, I approached a lot of it with more restraint than in the past. Instead of being overly specific, most of the songs are more esoteric and so they're open to interpretation."
