The Sound Bath: Adam Lambert’s Trespassing: the vocal review
Posted on July 12, 2012 by soundbath
Underneath is my absolute favourite song from this album and I will go so far as to say that it is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. This song reminds of the passionate arias we find in operas, some of which have been around for hundreds of years and still seem to be as popular as when they were first heard. This song seems a very worthy contender to share such longevity.
A stunning ballad, the lyrics in Underneath are again filled with so much imagery and the sweeping musical lines perfectly compliment Adam’s exposed soaring vocal line.
For the first time on the album his voice stands predominantly alone. Instead he’s making use of a kind of echo after some of the phrases, which is wonderfully effective.
Underneath is the perfect vehicle to showcase Adam’s beautiful voice with its phenomenal range, power, control, sensitivity and emotional intensity. At times it’s clear that he is drawing on his musical theatre experience in this song.
If the coloratura run in Broken English felt like ‘a fervent yearning from his soul,’ then Underneath in its entirety feels like the passionate cry of an imperfect but courageous and fearless soul appealing for understanding and unconditional acceptance, for example in the lines: “Look at me, now do you see?” and “Welcome to my world of truth, I don’t wanna hide any part of me from you.” Isn’t that what we all want?
This is what Adam tweeted about Underneath: “I’m doing my best. Underneath my best game face it’s still not always easy. I have my demons and they are powerful.”
It is another song that cries out for a Sound Bath programme as there is simply too much to say about this gorgeous song in this brief review.
