Review + Velvet video Rating: 8/10 stars Adam Lambert Gets Nostalgic on 'Velvet'Adam Lambert is done playing by the rules. In the last decade, since rising to fame as an American Idol runner-up and touring extensively with Queen as their frontman since 2014, he's established himself as a talented vocalist with a falsetto that channels the nostalgic sounds of the eras that came before him. But his music didn't always represent that talent as much as it could have. His first album For Your Entertainment kept him in the mainstream for a hot minute, thanks to production from Dr. Luke and Max Martin. But his follow-up albums Trespassing and The Original High—both of which aimed towards mainstream electropop—lacked originality and allowed Lambert's true talents to slip through the cracks. Now, five years later, he's back with a new studio album on an independent label that is more funky, soulful, silky, and authentically Adam Lambert than we're used to hearing.
"I've been feeling nostalgic," he laments on the title track of his fourth studio album, Velvet, but he doesn't need to tell us that. From the moment the album begins, its retro, nostalgic sounds are immediately front and center. Making an album whose sound is rooted in those of the past is certainly nothing new, but it works so well here because Lambert is in his element—something that, aside from performances with Queen, we've never quite seen in his solo work. Velvet feels effortless and natural, from the funk and disco beats to the synth and soft rock influences.
It sometimes feels forced and unnatural when an artist decides to channel their inspirations from the past, attempting to fit a puzzle piece where it doesn't belong. If anything, Lambert's previous music is what feels hopelessly forced and contrived in comparison to Velvet. The singer described the album as the "most authentic" version of himself, commenting that he's leaned "really far into [his] queerness" on this record. "Wanna rock something in my own kind of way / Like it's tailor-made for me," he sings on the title track. "Think I found someone I can get lost in / Cut from the same cloth as me."
< Velvet video > It's far from groundbreaking for an artist to throw caution to the wind and lean into his true inspirations and talents. Still, for Lambert—whose performance ability had long since eclipsed his studio work—a change of pace was long overdue. "You try to put me in a box, make me something I'm not," he says on the R&B-influenced "Superpower", which sets the tone for an album about breaking free.

Velvet (2020) by Adam Lambert
In 2019 Adam Lambert gave the first tracks of this album with Velvet: Side A EP that contains 6 of the 13 songs that the artist makes known to us today with Velvet (2020) , his fourth record work that was released through More is More and Empire Distribution .
Velvet (2020) is probably the most authentic album so far by the American artist, according to him this is a reflection of all parts of his personality when it comes to love, self-love, seeking and losing it.
Initially Adam Lambert was listening to the most prominent music charts to try to find the perfect formula, but then he left that behind and decided to make an album that is inspired by his childhood, in all those songs and artists he grew up with.
It is for this reason that in this album we find sounds that evoke the 70s and 80s. Apart from the release of the album, the artist wants to engage in other activities “I will continue making music, it is my first passion, but I would like to do something creative, design or produce I want to be behind the scenes. "
