Pressparty's Review of Adam Lambert's New Album "Trespassing"

From Pressparty:
‘Better Than I Know Myself’, which will act as the album’s lead single, bridges the gap perfectly between the style he introduced on his first record and how his sound has evolved since 2009. The track has strong balladic qualities and is accented by a soaring chorus that boasts a challenging melody. The layered vocal harmonies, which Lambert uses frequently throughout ‘Trespassing’, add serious depth and the slick production contributes to the sense of fullness this song exudes.
'Trespassing’
The record’s title track was created with the help of N*E*R*D’s Pharrell Williams and this exciting partnership really smashes down the restraints of genre boundaries. It’s an up-tempo cut that’s fuelled by a driving rhythm (solid drum beats and handclaps) and has a stadium rock edge that is strongly reminiscent of Queen. The fusion of this widely recognised and well-loved style with Pharrell’s fresh and unconventional input sets the song apart from its contemporaries.
Talking about working with Pharrell, Lambert told Pressparty that he “has to be one of the coolest people I've ever met. For the first five minutes I felt like such an unworthy dork. But that was all on me - he didn't act like he was 'the' Pharrell. He was simply ready to create a killer track. We connected intellectually and found common ground in our philosophies.”
‘Cuckoo’
Every album has a song that becomes infectious from the first listen and ‘Cuckoo’ is definitely this kind of track. Written with the help of Bonnie McKee (Katy Perry’s ‘Teenage Dream’ and ‘California Gurls’), it’s a pure pop anthem that has been brought to life with an injection of electronica and is perfect for the dance floor.
Lambert also revealed that working with McKee was inspiring because “she dares to keep one foot in mainstream consciousness and one firmly planted outside the box” and this track shows exactly what she’s capable of when working with someone who has such a natural ability to be such a versatile performer.
‘Broken English’
A vocal range like Adam’s simply has to be exercised and he works it to his full potential on ‘Broken English’. It’s a slower track, but the verses have progressive, hypnotic qualities that build melodic tension in a really teasing way. Again, this song flirts with the current trend of electronica, but does so in an unexpechttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifted manner and the almost metallic surges of sound reinforce the undeniable sensuality of the arrangement.

Love their review...of course!
OFF TOPIC:
You MUST open this link to see the many many "GIFS" that Michelle Collins has "gifted" us with for Adam's Birthday...A wide variety from Pre-Idol, Idol, and Post-Idol...
From Best Week Ever & Michelle Collins/VH.1:
"30 years ago, on January 29, 1982, a baby emerged from neath his mother somewhere in an Indianopolis hospital. A baby whose first cry probably sounded… a little bit… like this:
And Adam Lambert was officially welcomed into this world.
That’s right, it seems like only yesterday that Lambert was dressing up like the cutest little cowboy, and even yesterdayier that he became a household name as a result of his legendary American Idol stint.
But on Sunday, Lambert officially changes demographic, as the man we’ve all come to know and love and drink with turns the big 3-0. Yup. 30 years old. Happened to me last summer, and if you’re reading this, Adam, you have nothing to worry about. Just pop a Boniva every few hours like I do, remember to renew your Costco membership, and fill up that Baby Bjorn your friends bought you as a “joke” full of empty Bud Light cans. I guarantee that, with these three steps, you won’t even notice that your body is slowly deteriorating!! But really, 30 is secretly the best age, where you can officially stop being polite and start getting real. Even sometimes at elegant restaurants.
So to honor the man, the myth, and the journey that we’ve taken with Adam Lambert, we’d like to humbly present him with this small gift, so nicely compiled by digital producer Lauren Deiman (follow her on Twitter!): It’s The Ultimate 30th Birthday Adam Lambert GIF Wall. Here’s to a Happy 30th Birthday Adam!"
