Adam Lambert just posted on his YouTube account a video of his performance of "Closer To You," one of the tracks on his new EP/album, VELVET: SIDE A.  The video is titled as a "live session" ⁠— we're not sure if this is part of his recently announced iHeartRadio Live Session (that was postponed) or is from something entirely different.  We'll update accordingly when we learn more information.

Well I just fell in love with Adam all over again.

This is so passionate. It reminds me of his performance in Cape Town of "Underneath", also done in black and white. I listen to that rendition often and it always touches me deeply. Now we have another incredible song to listen to over and over again. He makes you feel something when he sings. Great job Adam.

I just realized what I said, Feel Something. Didn't notice until I had already sent the post out.

This is my favorite song off his new album, "Velvet",....Absolutely beautiful.

I had previously been unable to pick my favorite from VELVET until I saw this video on ADAM's Ytube channel!! It definitely has risen to the top of this EP for me!! I like the EP version but THIS!! B&W rendition left me shaken & crying!! This is the ADAM I have been waiting to hear again since his poignant song "Can't Let You Go" on the FYE Deluxe album as a bonus track!! It too should have been a single but was ignored by the record company!! Now ADAM is back with "Closer To You" with all the realness you'll ever hear in a song!! I LOVE IT!! I hope it's his next single .. a ballad ... finally!! Thanx for posting it 24/7!!

Tess, you are welcome -- and a thank you back to you for reminding us of "Can't Let You Go" -- OMG! Really, truly, one of my favorite tracks of Adam's entire catalog -- an absolutely stellar recorded performance. And, yes, it is a dire shame it wasn't released on the main CD nor as a single.

And, yes, "Closer To You" is one that is in that vein for sure -- such an AMAZING SONG!! I love the different aspects to it -- it's sort of like a story or a journey. And Adam gives us a vocal performance that is different than anything he has ever done. Really, a creative genius is he.

The song arrangement also happens to remind me a little of one of my favorite groups from the 2000s, Cousteau. They do moody songs with rich vocals -- which is exactly what "Closer To You" is.

"Stranger You Are" is still my favorite on this album, but love this live version of "Closer To You"
Good to see his sexy face again!

Oh my goodness Adam, what a beautiful song that you just sang. So much passion and feeling here. You can really write beautiful songs Adam.

Sue Smith said...

It is a brilliant song. The performance
Of this song from Adam is not of this earth. He is a very good song writer. It certainly shows in these 6 songs.
I did love Strangers You Are and I still do. But the magnificence of this performance has made me fall completely in love with this song. Totally brilliant.
So happy just to see his beautiful face again doing what he was born to do.

Sue Smith said...

I'm not bringing this up again after this. I will post continue to post for Adam. Why? Because I adore him as a person and a spectacular talent.
As long as it is positive. If it gets other wise. I'm out of it. I appreiate what Mirela said to me so much. But you can only do what your health let's you.
My body is telling me take it easier.
Thanks to all who have said kindness to me.
Now it's over I wont bring it up again.

Nanbert said...

Good, Sue.....hang in there and just take it easy. Hearing and seeing Adam like this will calm you, and keep you happy....it does for me. That's why we're here, isn't it? Let's just always be positive, and let the rest of the world drop away for a while. Love this video!

BTW....all of Adam's videos should just be a close-up of him singing...he's so expressive. For example, that mesmerizing "in session" video close-up of him in "Feel Something" is eons better than the official music video, IMO. What a beautiful face!

Nanbert said...

Me again....just had to have one more play of the above video, and was pleased to notice that it has already had 53,804 views....and it was only released yesterday! Good news travels fast!

Sue Smith said...

Thank you, Nanbert.I noticed yesterday the views were getting up pretty quickly.
I certainly played it a view times and will more. Need to do some streaming this evening. Closer to you sang by Adam is magnificent. I doubt any ailian on any planet could sing it that well.
Pretty sure no one on this planet earth could. This song live on a concert will be pure heaven.
Please all dont forget to stream Super Power and the album.

Sue Smith said...

Correction a few times.

Nanbert said...

Glamberts....the views of Adam's "Closer to You" (above) are already up to 86,957! Amazing! I think I've played 80,000 of them myself! Breathtakingly beautiful!

Hi Glam Sisters .. Just want to say "Superpower" is over 4M+ views on Ytube & "Closer to You" is just 200 views shy of 106K .. they're both hits .. ADAM should do Live sessions on all the songs & put them on Ytube & Spotify .. I really have to tear myself away from Ytube .. been streaming my "tush" off & VOTING at the Grammy poll .. man! I've been keeping busy!!

BTW: while I was there I found a video of Freddie singing "Love Kills" & it's the disco version .. didn't like it .. not my style of disco but the purists are back in full force so I went to the iHeart version by ADAM!! Leaps & bounds more to my liking!!

Read the articles MiReLa posted about the Closer to You video!! It's really a big hit!! Guess everybody has been waiting for a ballad from ADAM!! I have!! Well .. back to work .. my nurse will be here soon .. small medical problem .. nothing serious but I can't go to the dr. so she comes here to my home !! GOD is so GOOD to me!!

Sue .. good to see you back .. we just can't stay away .. ADAM is all the medicine I need .. two or three or more hours of his GORGEOUS-ness videos & I'm back to almost new again!! About Closer to You sessions ... too overwhelmed to put into words how much I LOVE this video .. this song .. this man!! I am so hoping that QAL adds it to their setlist on this next leg of their Rhapsody tour as a special gift to us Glamberts!! I get goose bumps every time ADAM wails .. I so LOVE it!!

Gotta go now .. nurse is coming!! Talk to you later!!

Love this song and of course perfectly sung by Adam.

Sue Smith said...

Thank you LAMBERT Outlaw. Sorry I didn't reply to you before now. Had to go to the doctors today. You take care of yourself. I Guess I just couldn't abandon promoting Adam to the fullest right now. Especially when he went through h--l to get music he was proud of out there. The music and his look is getting more fantastically like the real Adam. The real Adam not a robot of what the music business and label wanted to make him into.
You said you have a cold. Please take care of your self. There so much bad illnesses going around . Finally got my flu shot today.
