#NewEyes 👁️ by @adamlambert was #36 on the Worldwide iTunes Song chart from 16 May 2019! 🎉 Have you bought it in iTunes yet? kworb.net/ww/ Is this a good placement for NE? I have absolutely no reference for this. But #36 in the world sounds pretty cool. It's also the 3rd new song on the list.

With Adam's single. Not sure he's positive. But it's the 2nd single mentioned and JB and Ed are there as well so probably seen by a lot of people. The Guardian Guide @guideguardian Who's reviewed the singles for us ths week? Why, it's @michaelcragg www.theguardian.com/music/2019/may/17/gracey-if-you-loved-me-track-of-week … Adam Lambert New Eyes With his decadent, murder-mystery facial hair, Laura Ashley-inspired blouses and slight whiff of port, American Idol alumnus-turned-Freddie Mercury stand-in Adam Lambert has essentially morphed into raffish former home wrecker Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. Which is … well, it’s unexpected. Equally unexpected is this new single, which reins in the glam-rock land grab of old in favour of a streamlined strut Llewelyn-Bowen might refer to as the 7th Cavalry emerging o’er the brink of the hill. Or something. Definitely doesn't sound positive, though it's hard to make out what he's trying to say at all.. maybe trying to be too clever. Doesn't really seem like a thoughtful review. Not bothering to RT this one. Haha! I've spent way too long this morning trying to analyze this review. Keeping in mind that I am not necessarily great at literary analysis, I don't think is is necessarily a negative review. He compares his appearance to someone described as "raffish," which can be defined as looking somewhat disreputable or disheveled but in an attractive way. I would have to agree with this and would venture to say that's the look Adam was going for. His description of NE as being a "streamlined strut" doesn't sound negative at all to me, and, as for the 7th Cavalry reference, I'm taking it to mean simply that Adam has diverged from his former musical style and is reemerging armed for a new battle. I definitely fault the reviewer for trying to sound witty to the extent that the review itself is unclear, but even more for the fact that he fails to really tell the reader what he thinks of the song. Maybe like for many of us his jury is out until he listens a few more times? He says that these physical and musical changes were "unexpected," which is obviously exactly what Adam wanted. He thrives on growth through change and vice versa and began his public career on Idol wowing his audiences with unexpected song and apparel choices. I feel like the reviewer was just taken aback by the directional changes and certainly doesn't commit to publicizing an actual opinion if he truly has one. I feel this song is a bit like when Adam did "Ring of Fire" on Idol. It was such a divergence from what was expected and the judge's reviews ranged from Simon thinking it was hideous to Kara being confused to Paula and Randy thinking it was genius. The more I listen, the more genius I think NE is. I think the reviewer might just be feeling like Kara.

Trying to translate his, to me, obscure references was a bit too much for me. You were much kinder to him and his lack of an understandable review. I appreciate your thoughtful analysis.
