2012-06-01 Classic Rock UK: I’ll Do Freddie Proud Vows Lambert

Classic Rock UK: I’ll Do Freddie Proud Vows Lambert

Classic Rock UK
I’ll do Freddie proud vows Lambert
Martin Kielty at 10:43am June 1 2012
www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/ill-do-freddie-proud-vows-lambert/

Adam Lambert is convinced his upcoming shows fronting Queen will prove he can do the job, although he insists he’d never try to replace Freddie Mercury.

And the singer admits he knew talent shows weren’t cool before he found fame in American Idol – he aimed to use the exposure to advance his career.

He’s performed with remaining Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor on TV twice before. So when he hits the Hammersmith Apollo stage with them on July 11, 12 and 14 he knows what he has to achieve.

Lambert tells the Daily Mail: “We want to keep the music alive and give it an energy that would have made Freddie proud.

“You can’t replace him. But playing with Queen is the best thing that could happen to me. My intention is to pay tribute to Freddie.”

And Lambert believes the experience will be educational: “I’m looking forward to spending time with Brian and Roger,” he explains. “I want to make myself familiar with their more obscure songs and hear some stories from the guys themselves. I’ll get my own personal Queen documentary.”

He stresses there’s more to his abilities than those people saw on American Idol. “It was a popularity contest, so I had to lay on the charm,” he says. “Now I’m lifting the veil to show the parts that aren’t so easy to digest. I knew talent shows weren’t cool – but I thought it might convince a label to invest in me.”

Lambert won’t say if anything else is planned with Queen, and he’s not sure how much more he’d want.

He says: “Working with them is going to be a great honour, but I’m also very keen for people to hear my own music, so who knows what the future will hold?”

BEING #1

It feels good to be Adam Lambert right now.

His new album, Trespassing, slammed into the #1 slot in both Canada and the U.S. last week. He's hitting his stride, while wearing some bloody killer shirts.

I feel swooning over Adam Lambert is completely justified. Sure, ladies, he'll never sleep with you, but he'll also never let you down. I followed Adam for a day in the life photo project, and found he truly has a limitless capacity for graciousness. He runs from event to event and just never quits. He will always sign one more autograph, he's always laughing, and he will always answer your question - even if it's offensive, and he's been asked it 497 times before.

So for those reasons alone, I think he deserves your time.

But, incidentally, the new album is killer. During an autograph session I started jamming to the music in the background, asked the publicist what was playing (like a tool), and it was (of course) his new album. So I legitimately, bias-free, really dug it.

For an insight into our day together, here are some of my favourite shots:

This goes far, far beyond guilty pleasure.

The press release arrived in my inbox, same as hundreds of others. It contained a link to a stream of the new Adam Lambert CD, Trespassing. I am not a reality TV fan; I had never so much as heard Adam Lambert before. (To say I’m a bit of a music snob—or was, anyway—wouldn’t be far off the mark.)

On a lark, I decided to click it; I just wanted to see what he sounded like.

I didn’t expect to fall in love.

From the get-go—the über-catchy title track—I was hooked. The song begins with group vocals and hand claps, buttressed by a steady, addictive beat. And Lambert’s vocals? If you (like much of America) have already been exposed, you know how sublime his voice is: straight out, falsetto, full throttle, controlled scream—really, he can do it all.

Following “Trespassing” is “Cuckoo,” another high-energy, dance-floor tune that turns the levels up another notch. With perfect dance-pop sensibility, it’s all you need to be caught Trespassing—hook, line, and sinker.

“No, I ain’t broken/ but I need a fix,” Lambert admits on “Shady,” a funk-filled tune featuring Nile Rodgers and Sam Sparro. Mmm…tasty. The soaring “Never Close Our Eyes” (which, I’m told, is the first single) finds Lambert’s R&B-tinged vocals rising over a bass-heavy keyboard line: “Why can’t we just live life with no consequence/ and always live life in the now?” Sort of deep for a simple pop song, if you think about it.

And then there’s “Kickin’ In.” I can’t say enough about this song; it completely kicks my ass. Heavy ’80s vocal influences (stuttered, repeating, modified) mixed with a rapid-fire refrain delivery and nonstop, dance-inducing beat make this one of the best party songs you’ll hear all year. Lambert’s high-pitched, full-throated “No, no, no” is the cherry on the sundae.

“Naked Love” keeps the party going in fine form before giving way to “Pop That Lock.” This one’s right up there with “Kickin’ In,” so perfect an ass-shaking pop song it is. Techno-heavy keyboards drop off to Lambert’s lightly backed vocals before the full-throttle refrain kicks in. The artist’s ruby-throated vocals following an instrumental bridge are most impressive.

With some albums, my interest sometimes flags when the slower songs kick in, but that isn’t the case here. Lambert’s vocals continue to captivate; I find new things to appreciate with each successive song—and repeated listen. The mellower “Better Than I Know Myself” leads into a slightly more upbeat “Broken English,” which finds Lambert singing his truth: “Tower of Babel has fallen down again/ information disarray/ I don’t know who I should believe in/ everyone’s an authority.”

“Underneath” plays like Trespassing’s anthem: personal, meaningful, vocal-driven, and textured. “Everybody wants to talk about a freak,” Lambert admits; “No one wants to dig that deep./ Let me take you underneath.” When he reaches octaves higher to command, “Look at me/ Do you see?” you want to do nothing else but oblige.

Slow burner “Bring It on Back” is another vocal showcase, a fact especially obvious in the bridge. Lambert slips into an easy falsetto on the refrain to “Outlaws of Love,” delivered gently and with heart-on-sleeve feeling. “Chokehold” is insinuatingly catchy, its slow burn bordering on sexy. (And that’s before you get to the lyrics.)

The lovely ballad “Outlaws of Love” bursts into a controlled bloom on the refrain, giving way to voice play that’s eerily reminiscent of Jeff Buckley. “Smoldering” aptly describes “Runnin’”; somehow, despite Lambert’s soulful and flexible voice, it stays in check—but just barely. But the chains come off on “Take Back,” which again boasts techno-flavored keyboard strokes and the full range of the ex-Idol’s vocal prowess.

Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and Trespassing does so with “Nirvana.” Fittingly, Lambert ties it all together with another ballad, complete with uplifting lyrics: “When the stars are too cold/ Frozen over the glow/ On the edge of the night/ We can be their light.” And now it’s time to press “repeat.”

This goes far, far beyond guilty pleasure. In fact, Trespassing dominates my most-played list on Spotify (as my husband was quick to point out). Pop music aficionados, you already know what I’m talking about, as Trespassing debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts. As for you, fellow music snobs: Go ahead. Give in. You have permission to hold your head up proudly while you give in to the oh-so-perfect Adam Lambert groove.

I promise I will rock you as the new Freddie: Queen's new singer on why he's ready to step into Mercury's shoes
By Adrian Thrills
PUBLISHED: 19:51 EST, 31 May 2012 | UPDATED: 01:23 EST, 1 June 2012
www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2153032/Queens-new-singer-hes-ready-step-Mercurys-shoes.html

He grew up listening to his parents’ Queen albums and once auditioned for the musical We Will Rock You.

So when Brian May and Roger Taylor were looking for someone to step into Freddie Mercury’s boots for a series of summer concerts, they made an inspired choice in selecting former American Idol finalist Adam Lambert.

The U.S. superstar is seen as a new Robbie Williams, but his flamboyant style and spectacular vocal range also make him perfect for Queen — and he’ll be doing the fandango with them in London next month.

Adam, 30, has already sung with the rock legends: on American Idol and during last year’s MTV EMA Awards in Belfast. He says: ‘You can’t replace Freddie. But playing with Queen is the best thing that could happen to me, and my intention is to pay tribute to Freddie.

‘We want to keep the music alive and give it an energy that would have made him proud.’

In addition to three nights at the Hammersmith Apollo, Lambert will appear with Queen in Russia and Poland — and there is a possibility of more dates.

According to guitarist May, he has been picked for his ‘extraordinary’ voice, while drummer Taylor predicts ‘fireworks’ once the shows start.

Lambert takes a more down-to-earth view, saying he is joining the band to learn from rock royalty.

‘When I auditioned for We Will Rock You in the States, I prepared songs like I Want To Break Free,’ he says. ‘I did my homework.

‘Now I’m looking forward to spending time with Brian and Roger. I want to make myself familiar with their more obscure songs and hear some stories from the guys themselves. I’ll get my own personal Queen documentary.’

Adam, who is gay, says he can relate to the problems Mercury faced over his sexuality during Queen’s heyday. Lambert came out publicly during the rounds of American Idol in 2009, and there were suspicions it cost him public votes (he lost narrowly in the final to Kris Allen).

He admits it was ‘possible’ his sexuality had an impact on the result, but says the pressure on Mercury was far greater.

‘It wasn’t easy for him to come out in the Seventies. But the big irony is that it was easier for him to be flamboyant when he was performing.

‘Today it is the opposite. I’m one of the few openly gay pop artists in the States, but people find it harder to accept anything flamboyant on stage. Pop is very macho now, and the mainstream shies away from anything too camp.’

Iconic: The late Freddie Mercury performing during a Queen concert

Lambert also has the welcome problem of balancing his Queen commitments with a burgeoning solo career. He’ll shortly release his second album, Trespassing, and a new single, Never Close Our Eyes, in the UK.

The album, on which he has collaborated with dance producer Pharrell Williams, Chic bassist Nile Rodgers and singers Sam Sparro and Bruno Mars, has already topped the charts in his homeland.

It is more considered than his first album, For Your Entertainment, blending darker, reflective tracks with quality pop songs and high-octane dance numbers that owe something to Off The Wall-era Michael Jackson.

Adam says: ‘American Idol was a popularity contest so I had to lay on the charm. Now I’m lifting the veil to show the parts that aren’t so easy to digest.’

Raised in San Diego, California, Adam became an actor by the time he was ten. He was touring with a production of the musical Wicked when he joined a rock band and eventually applied to American Idol, where he sang Bohemian Rhapsody at his audition.

‘I knew that talent shows weren’t cool but I thought it might convince a label to invest in me,’ he says.

He is now looking forward to hitting the road. He is playing a solo set in aid of children’s charity Rays Of Sunshine in London next week before he gets ready to be Freddie.

As for any further dates with Queen, Adam is remaining tight-lipped. ‘Working with them is going to be a great honour,’ he says. ‘But I’m also very keen for people to hear my own music, so who knows what the future will hold?’

Adam Lambert plays the the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday alongside Leona Lewis. He appears with Queen at Hammersmith Apollo on July 11, 12 and 14 (ticketzone.co.uk). His new single, Never Close Our Eyes, is out on June 24.
