I think there's so much progress that's been made and you look at the next generation coming up right now and they're way less bothered about sexuality and gender and all these things because they've grown up sort of not having it be some alien concept to them.

Billie Eilish’s “Getting Older” opens with a Queen-esque harmonized vocal before shifting to a rock ballad. The other impressive moments for me are his takes on Duran Duran's "Ordinary World" and the Noël Coward classic (most known by Dinah Washington), "Mad About the Boy.

Lambert’s musical theatre background is evident in Billie Eilish’s ‘Getting Older’ which has him reflecting on the universal fear of ageing and gives a far-reaching emotional performance. Baltin: That takes us nicely into the album and some of these songs on High Drama that you chose I imagine were very instrumental for you as you were growing up.

It’s a lot of rock music, a lot of music from the ‘70s, but the process of putting a musical together is a longer timeline. Baltin: Do you feel like given the fact that as a culture we seem to have gotten backwards in so many ways that it becomes even more important for artists to then lead the way and become more vocal going the opposite route? And Julia Michaels and Ilsey Juber and Freddie Wexler wrote that song, and I actually heard the demo years ago before Pink recorded it. And, with "Mad About the Boy," Lamber turns a little song about a boy into a soaring Bond-theme ballad that never abandons its core of vulnerability.Songs range from the more recent, Pink's My Attic, Billie Eilish's Getting Older, an epic rock re-imagining of Lana Del Rey's West Coast, to the beautiful interpretation of Noel Coward’s classic Mad About The Boy.
