Adam Lambert has been busy promoting his recent release Trespassing and stopped by Mix 96.5/Houston to discuss what it was like working with Lady Gaga and his love for Kelly Clarkson‘s new single.

Lambert featured “Fever” on his debut album For Your Entertainment and filled listeners in on the behind-the-scenes process.

“Gaga wrote ‘Fever.’ I recorded it with her in the studio and we had quite a day. It was really fun,” Lambert recalled.

Admitting that the duo may have had a drink “or two or four” while in the studio Lambert said he needed a certain type of energy for the track.

“That song in particular has that 70s rock, trashy, sexy swagger so it needed that shot before,” Lambert said.

Instead of just asking Lambert what’s on his iPod, the station decided to plug it in and hit shuffle. The first song that came up was Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger.”

“Love this song! The whole album is fantastic,” he said. “She’s such a great singer, obviously she came from American Idol. She can just sing, man. It doesn’t matter what she’s singing, she can sing.”
