The Sound Bath: Adam Lambert’s Trespassing: the vocal review
Posted on July 12, 2012 by soundbath
Chokehold is yet another of favourite of mine from this amazing album.
This song has a wicked beat with a rock sensibility, and whilst Adam singing it in a mostly non-rock manner shouldn’t work, in fact, his vocal style perfectly suits the lyrics and the song is enhanced in a way it wouldn’t be if it was sung perhaps more as a rock song throughout. Instead he uses rock riffs in the harmonies. That, coupled with his much lighter vocal treatment of the song, means that we experience his ‘addiction’ to pain somehow more clearly.
Here again, Adam treats us to something new: he sings the word “second” in a way that emphasises the rhythm but simultaneously stresses the immediacy of his sentiment.
This is what Adam tweeted about Chokehold: “You’re playing games with me and it’s putting me though it! But I’m addicted to the heartache and drama. I can’t get enough.”
