Adam Lambert is under someone’s spell in his new song “Voodoo.” The track, which appears on international versions of Lambert’s debut album For Your Entertainment, should be released in the U.S. soon, according to his Twitter account.

Lambert announced the song’s release to his fans late Thursday, writing, “Song will be released soon in US on WWFM & FYE Remix EP! Check out VOODOO! Bonus track co-written w Sam Sparro appearing on international release of FYE. Turn it up.”

“Voodoo” has a spacey feel that is reminiscent of the For Your Entertainment cover art.

Adam Tyler Sings “Lullabies for Rattlesnakes”

From Electro Queer:

Adam Tyler is putting the finishing touches on his hot new electro-pop album “Lullabies For Rattlesnakes” and it’s one of the few albums that I am really looking forward to this year. The great thing about Adam is that he has such an infectious and lovely personality (as you will see) and that shows right through in his music, which is full-on dancefloor fun.

To get a taste for his music, make sure you visit his official MySpace page and enjoy this little video session we had where Adam talks about everything from life as rising pop star, his favourite tracks on “Lullabies For Rattlesnakes”, who is on his “hot for 2010″ list ( Parralox – this includes you…) and his days as a boy band member.
