The first reviews have come out for Adam Lambert's new EP/album, VELVET: SIDE A.  We will continuously update as more reviews are published.

UPDATE (9/28/19): New reviews from Idolator, OUT Magazine, AllMusic.com, Digital Journal, Album Confessions, and Hornet.com.


ASSOCIATED PRESS 
Note: exact same review has been republished in numerous newspapers across the nation
"Adam Lambert’s superpower is a seemingly 25-octave voice that can be smooth as velvet one moment, and sharp enough to cut diamonds the next.  His new six-song EP, 'Velvet: Side A,' shows Lambert at the top of his game..."

THE IRISH NEWS
"US SINGER-songwriter Adam Lambert's new EP (one of two) Velvet: Side A is dripping with glitter and soul and pop and funk and R&B and dance ... with the epic closer Closer To You, showing off the full range of his vocals."

IDOLATOR
 "...the collection bubbles over with a wealth of potential hits ... it’s pretty clear to me that VELVET is shaping up to be some of the superstar’s best work."

OUT MAGAZINE
"The singer is really coming into his prime with this EP — the six songs are arguably some of his best work. Lambert has been working hard for a long time in the industry, grinding to find his voice and improve his skills, and all of that pays off on Velvet. This is an instant classic for the musician, and an exciting new chapter in his career."

ALLMUSIC.COM
"...embracing his '70s funk, disco, and glitter-rock influences with believable pomp and swagger."

"...'Ready to Run'...sounds like a Sam Smith song with 100 percent more stink-face guitar..."

DIGITAL JOURNAL
"Overall, every song on this EP is superb and well-crafted. Thus far, it is one of the best EPs released in 2019. Adam Lambert gives his fans and listeners exactly what they want, and his storytelling ability is rich and second to none. Velvet: Side A is a true work of musical art and it garners five out of five stars."
