Adam Lambert Extra Part 2
Our track-by-track review of Adam's new album Trespassing.
As part of bonus Adam Lambert bonaza, here's our track by track look at his second album Trepassing, released here on the 6th of July. Don't mis our cover-story with Adam in this month's issue and bonus quotes from the interview here.
1: Trespassing - the album's title track sees Lambert team up with Pharrell Williams for an urgent piece of funk-pop that gets this album off to a flying start.
2: Cuckoo - A blast of electro-driven bubblegum pop with a big earworm-y chorus with "future hit single" written all over it.
3: Shady - Roping Nile Rodgers in for some guitar work (more on that in our cover story) this is finger-snapping disco-pop with layers of attitude.
4: Never Close Our Eyes - the current single, a dance-pop number with a bit of a ballad bubbling underneath. Another big chorus number on an album strewn with them.
5: Kickin' In - Another Pharrell assisted number and by far the quirkiest number here. A sparse, sassy number dripping in camp attitude it's the
6: Naked Love - A pure-pop number that recalls the Britney and Backstreet boys teen pop heyday, this is an airy and sweet pop confection.
7: Pop That Lock - Swirling dubstep twinged flourishes mix with plenty of knowing gay slang for one of the album's standout moments. The drag-queen friendly breakdown will have even the most hard-faced gay boys dancing.
8: Better Than I Know Myself - The album's debut single, a chilly ballad with a hopeful twinge. An underrated song.
9: Broken English - A huge, dubstep infused ballad that works better than it should. With a building rhythm and some powerful vocals from Lambert, it's an effective showcase for his considerable talent.
10: Underneath - The weakest ballad on the album is still impressively moody just not quite as showstopping as other tracks elsewhere.
11: Chokehold - A swaggering, sexy down-tempo number that has plenty of emotion. An impressive track.
12: Outlaws of Love - This moving number is a clear standout, a powerful statement about the pressures facing gay couples. Beautifully handled, with a nuanced vocal from Lambert.
13: Runnin' (Bonus Track) - A big, stadium sized number with tumbling synths and clattering drums meshing with suitably souped up singing from Lambert.
14: Take Back (Bonus Track) - Thumping electro-dance with a soft side, not unlike a Pink track an enjoyable if not mind blowing bonus track.
15: Nirvana (Bonus Track) - Another down-tempo number that's enjoyable and shows the range at Lambert's disposal but not a particularly memorable tune.
