Pressparty review Adam Lambert's 'Trespassing'
Friday, January 27, 2012 9:55am by Pressparty

It's been a while since vocal sensation Adam Lambert released his debut album, ‘For Your Entertainment’, but Pressparty were honoured to listen to a private play of tracks from his new album this week, and can reveal that the star is back with an amazing offering that showcases a whole other side of his phenomenal talent.

‘Trespassing’ is the title of the hitmaker’s sophomore record and it doesn’t disappoint. After recruiting a real life dream team – Bonnie McKee, Dr. Luke and Claude Kelly to name but a few – to work with, Lambert pushed himself to be his “bravest and brashest” and has delivered something outstanding to share with his fans.

‘Better Than I Know Myself’, which will act as the album’s lead single, bridges the gap perfectly between the style he introduced on his first record and how his sound has evolved since 2009. The track has strong balladic qualities and is accented by a soaring chorus that boasts a challenging melody. The layered vocal harmonies, which Lambert uses frequently throughout ‘Trespassing’, add serious depth and the slick production contributes to the sense of fullness this song exudes.


'Trespassing’

The record’s title track was created with the help of N*E*R*D’s Pharrell Williams and this exciting partnership really smashes down the restraints of genre boundaries. It’s an up-tempo cut that’s fuelled by a driving rhythm (solid drum beats and handclaps) and has a stadium rock edge that is strongly reminiscent of Queen. The fusion of this widely recognised and well-loved style with Pharrell’s fresh and unconventional input sets the song apart from its contemporaries.

Talking about working with Pharrell, Lambert told Pressparty that he “has to be one of the coolest people I've ever met. For the first five minutes I felt like such an unworthy dork. But that was all on me - he didn't act like he was 'the' Pharrell. He was simply ready to create a killer track. We connected intellectually and found common ground in our philosophies.”


‘Cuckoo’

Every album has a song that becomes infectious from the first listen and ‘Cuckoo’ is definitely this kind of track. Written with the help of Bonnie McKee (Katy Perry’s ‘Teenage Dream’ and ‘California Gurls’), it’s a pure pop anthem that has been brought to life with an injection of electronica and is perfect for the dance floor.

Lambert also revealed that working with McKee was inspiring because “she dares to keep one foot in mainstream consciousness and one firmly planted outside the box” and this track shows exactly what she’s capable of when working with someone who has such a natural ability to be such a versatile performer.



‘Broken English’

A vocal range like Adam’s simply has to be exercised and he works it to his full potential on ‘Broken English’. It’s a slower track, but the verses have progressive, hypnotic qualities that build melodic tension in a really teasing way. Again, this song flirts with the current trend of electronica, but does so in an unexpected manner and the almost metallic surges of sound reinforce the undeniable sensuality of the arrangement.



‘Outlaws Of Love’

This offering has already enjoyed its first outing in the public domain after Lambert’s live performances of it were uploaded to YouTube, but the album version is fantastic. There’s a raw characteristic to the vocals that helps highlight the emotive and heartfelt lyrics and there’s an earthy, organic feel to the production, which doesn’t overpower the sincerity of the track’s content.

During our recent interview with the superstar, he admitted that penning a track with a social conscience was important to him as he wanted to make ‘Trespassing’ a more personal record:

“I wrote 'Outlaws' about the many challenges the gay community faces and how hopeless it sometimes makes me feel. After I shared it with friends, it became clear that the lyrics could be interpreted in so many ways. I later visualized it underscoring scenes from 'Bonnie and Clyde', 'Twilight', 'Milk' or even 'The Color Purple'.”

There once was a little boy called Ahma
Who’d freak out at the sight of a pajama
He would always stay awake until one,
screaming until he decided he was done
And eventually ended up hosting a glamarama
