The Original High (Review) 4/5 stars
AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine [-]

Adam Lambert shakes off the shackles of the past by returning to his roots on The Original High. No longer with RCA, the label who signed him in the wake of American Idol, Lambert seizes this freedom by reuniting with producers Max Martin and Shellback, the team who gave him his big 2009 hit "Whataya Want from Me," but this is by no means a throwback. Martin and Shellback remain fixtures at the top of the pop charts -- they were instrumental collaborators on Taylor Swift's 1989, the biggest album of 2014 -- and they're a comfortable, stylish fit for the clever Lambert, a singer as comfortable with a glam-disco past as he is an EDM present. The Original High cannily synthesizes these two sides of Lambert, an intersection made explicit on "Lucy," where Adam sings about "diamond dogs" while his Queen bandmate Brian May lays down lead guitar over a crawling electro-beat. Elsewhere, Lambert ratchets up either the rock or the dance, but usually favors the latter, sometimes sliding into full-bore glitter ball territory -- "The Original High," where the beat slowly modulates from disco into EDM and the bonus "These Boys," which shamelessly appropriates the polyester styles of the '70s -- but usually finding an expert balance between pulsating rhythms and gleaming surfaces, not to mention insidiously ingratiating pop hooks. This emphasis on the hook and tune distinguishes The Original High, a record where Martin and Shellback's production, like Adam's soaring vocals, is in service of the song. Although the album can linger on moody noir a little too long -- the lightest material is squired away on the three bonus tracks, each an effervescent delight -- the individual components work on their own merits, whether it's the steely clatter of the Tove Lo duet "Rumours," the elegantly skeletal cinemascapes of "Ghost Town," or the cleanly constructed lines of "Things I Didn't Say." Here, and throughout The Original High, Adam Lambert demonstrates he's in perfect control of his style and sound and knows how to combine both into a sterling modern pop record.

Even Perez Hilton loves “Underground”
Listen To This: He's In Trouble!
6/08/2015 8:31 AM ET | Filed under: Listen To This • Adam Lambert

Wow, we were not expecting this!

The first single from Adam Lambert's new album is a fine song, but this one is sooooo much better!

This is one of the best songs he's ever recorded!

It's sexy. It's cool. It was created just to make a great song and not "manufactured" to get on the radio.

It reminds us of new era Nick Jonas!

Check out Underground above!

Vote For The Song Of Summer 2015: Round One – mostly for fun
May 27, 2015 ● by NewNowNext Staff

Summer’s here, and with it comes the Song of Summer—that jam you hear in every club, store, radio station and party from now until September. The Song of Summer isn’t one of those things that reveals itself right away—and it doesn’t even have to be a new release. So what will be the next “Fancy” or “Call Me Maybe”?

All season long we’ll be looking at which tracks are bubbling up, and which have fallen by the wayside. Below, we make some early predictions.

LISTEN & VOTE: 10 tunes vying for song of the summer
(Do this one for Canada!!)
jrk_0115 By John R. Kennedy Entertainment Reporter Global New

TORONTO — Last summer there was “Fancy” and “Rude” (not to mention “Happy”). A year earlier there was “Blurred Lines” and “Get Lucky” (and let’s not forget “We Can’t Stop”).

So, which earworms will become this year’s songs of the summer?

There are plenty of strong contenders from pop stars like Taylor Swift and Britney Spears as well as newcomers like OMI, breakouts like Andy Grammer — and even a Canadian or two.

Is this summer’s “Call Me Maybe” or “Party Rock Anthem” among the songs highlighted below? Give them a listen and then vote for your favourite.

Adam Lambert – “Ghost Town”

The first single from Lambert’s new album The Original High (out June 16) starts off slow, suggesting it isn’t eligible for song of the summer. But then, around the 50-second mark, it becomes a pulsing dance track with an infectious whistle effect. Expect to hear this one pumping in the clubs all summer long.
