Some do a lot, but are not really good at it, whereas an Adam Lambert seems to be an all-rounder. Musical actor, dubbing voice, live voice with Queen - and own material. Funky, with groove and very catchy he sounds on "Velvet": monkeypress.de/2020/03/reviews/cd-reviews/adam-lambert-velvet/
Good things take time. Especially with Adam Lambert. Four years after his predecessor The Original High, he first teased the new album in autumn 2019 by releasing an EP called Velvet: Side A , and more pieces were subsequently heard at different locations, so that the new album Velvet did indeed is an album, but not necessarily a new one. At least for those who closely follow the musician. If you can do something with the name, you would not necessarily call yourself a loyal fan, but you would like to hear it, you can now hear the collected output on album length. And of course the collector will complete his collection.
Quite apart from marketing ingenuity, it is the inner values that count: the music that can be heard on Velvet. It can be heard well for about three quarters of an hour. It has funk, it is pop, it is danceable and you can quickly see why this musician is so successful. The opening title track begins with light-footed beats, increases with funky guitar licks and you are quickly in the middle of the action. With superpower it goes on and grooving tremendously, the hookline is right, sometimes you get the impression that Prince is waving around the corner and you just notice the energy that goes into all of this.
Even if it sounds like minor what is played, you cannot avoid it. Good to note, among others, in Roses , for which Lambert brought Nile Rodgers on board. Melancholy shimmers through, but even if you become thoughtful, you want to move to the sounds. It simply has an unbelievable hit potential, which Adam Lambert always does for the best. A Comin In Hot also shows this later on the album with a strong optimism, although here and there you can hear a minor key.
You could also pick other titles from the album at random, it would not change much in the statements. Here and there you could perhaps use more variety, some may miss corners and edges, but these are ultimately secondary noises. A good album with a good dose of light-heartedness. And that is exactly what we can all use quite well at the moment.
Rated 8/10
