After reading through all the pages of discussion about the music video, and the tidbits Adam gave us in his twitter party, I watched it again today and can see all of the references mentioned much more clearly, thanks ya'll! I enjoyed the video so much more than I did at first watch. For me, the people were so different than what is usually found in music videos in that they were average looking people, didn't look like models or anything. Many things confused me at first. I'm enjoying it so much more now, can't wait for Part 2! And especially can't wait to hear how Adam performs this live! I agree. The vid got better after the initial viewing. I never really cared for the GT vid or even the ALN vid...so the vid isn't all that important to me. What is important is him performing his songs live. Important to him and to me. This one should be really sexy on tour....just him and the band.....and maybe a mic stand...lol.

I've really enjoyed the discussion here. It has helped me to look at the video with new eyes!! At first, I wasn't sure about the song and the video, but now I love them. The song is an ear worm. It's been in my head today. I listen to the radio when I'm driving and there is definitely a lack of enunciation on a lot of songs. Drives me a bit nuts, but that is what is current and I can always look up the lyrics if I'm interested enough!
I am so happy that Adam seems to be happy in both his personal and professional life! My takeaway from the video is LOVE -- in all its variations -- is a powerful drug!

As Vivian (Julie Roberts) says in Pretty Woman "Don't you just love Prince?!"
KISS by PRINCE

After many listens today I love this song even more than when I first heard it. It has nuances that are not immediately obvious at a first listen. I am so excited about this album. New Eyes is probably my favorite song of Adam’s so far. He sounds so comfortable on it, and the vocals are superb. I also love the music video. I was a teen in the 90s and MTV was really big back then. The story is still so important for the video, which is why I think I didn’t like the Ghost Town video so much. Kudos to Adam, and I can’t wait to hear more. Here’s my updated playlist on Spotify, for anyone interested. open.spotify.com/user/dnzu7ghtmiyhcl63laydfe5a6/playlist/5UXVx2uaQNknmSlXKgnb65?si=Xg2K808tTsyzSzEtenqqog

Just weighing in on NE, and mine will be a familiar story. I listened to it within seconds of its initial availability and just didn’t like it. I didn’t hate it, either, as the retro vibe was reminiscent of songs of my youth, but it didn’t do anything for me and left me unsure of what I’d even heard. I think this must be a symptom of being fed something completely different than what was imagined. I listened to it a second time, actually woke my husband up to tell him that I was surprised not to like the new song much, then went to bed for the night after giving myself a pep talk about how I haven’t always loved everything Adam has done and that there’s a whole remaining album to explore down the line. When I got up the next morning, though, I listened a couple more times and suddenly saw it with... new eyes! OMG, it came clearer to me and struck me as a genius choice considering his role with Queen and their whole fan base who might better appreciate a rock leaning song than pure pop. It’s catchy and bluesy/sultry, and what it lacks in vocal gymnastics it boasts in magnificent texture and nuance.
I can’t predict if iNE will be a hit, but I can say with certainty that it helps to cement his image as a relevant, cool contemporary artist. I am loving NE more and more with each listen. The video is interesting; I need to delve into it a bit more to totally get it. Regarding the possible drug references, I just don’t care. Emotions have been described via drug-related innuendo since forever.

Some comments from video..
Danny Evans Don't get me wrong I love Adam Lambert but I get a very strong Prince vibe..and it's fantastic
jodie jones damn it's 100x better on full volume speaker.i'm totally addicted to the song 😍
Omar Bezariuz Give him 1million views he deserve it
Oliver Fenelon Ché fuck the charts. This is music, we’re blessed to have it.
William Isaacs I have decided That Adam Lambert is iconic. I hear Prince, Michael Jackson and Robert Plant. Second to none in his musical ability. Yes I too want to see you in concert, come to Denver. Love you wish you continues success and happiness
Samuel Sousa A R T I S T A
ReelGirl 8 Adam has the ability to make old familiar songs sound fresh and new original songs sound familiar. This one sounds fresh and familiar. Love it.
neuropiano The 70’s vibe, the crunchy guitar line, the sensual, velvety-smooth vocals...everything about this oozes SEXY
sebijebi Tame impala meets black keys meets arctic monkeyz, nice
Oscar Vasquez Love this fresh air of music. It feels organic and melodic unlike most of the trash that is forced on us by corporate music companies. Adam is so underrated.
