At the premiere party for 2012, Lambert spoke with USA Today about his time in Hollywood and his life-changing year: "Being in L.A. around young Hollywood for the past eight years desensitized me to the whole machine," says the singer. "If this were brand new, I'd be overwhelmed. At 27, I've already done a lot of self-searching to learn who I am. Had this happened five years ago, I might not have handled it well. I didn't have a strong sense of self...The timing worked out. I was getting bored with my life. Like, is this it? I was hungry for more. I got my wish!"

On his penchant for all things 70s Lambert says: "People had a good time in the '70s," he says. "They were dancing and partying and loving on each other. There was a positive energy, and the music reflected that. And from a technical standpoint, I'm one of those singers. I know my voice is a throwback."
