Take One is a non-official debut studio album featuring early recordings by Adam Lambert, captured in 2005 while he was working as a session musician in Los Angeles. Released in 2009 by Rufftown Records to capitalize on his massive success as the runner-up on American Idol Season 8, the album provides a unique look at Lambert's vocal development before his mainstream breakthrough. Unlike the high-energy glam-rock of his later work, these tracks offer a more mellow, pop-rock sound that some critics have described as easy listening. The project was produced by Michael Burtscher and Malcolm Welsford and consists primarily of demos intended for other artists, showcasing a professional yet stripped-back side of his artistry. While Lambert has noted that these songs do not fully represent his post-Idol creative direction, the album remains a significant collector's item for fans wanting to hear the origins of one of the most powerful voices in modern pop music.
