Adam Lambert
Velvet: Side A (EP)
US SINGER-songwriter Adam Lambert's new EP (one of two) Velvet: Side A is dripping with glitter and soul and pop and funk and R&B and dance and everything else this former American Idol star could possibly throw at it, but without the tracks becoming too over-worked and clunky. Four years since the release of his last studio album The Original High, it has felt a long time coming for fresh tunes from Lambert, who has spent much of his time in recent years touring with Queen. This is a very un-Queen offering, a personal expression of what he really does do best: to give the listener no option but to dance. Stranger Are You is a jazzy heady, concoction, while Ready To Run is fronted with a scuzzy guitar sound over a funky beat, music that gets right into your veins. After five full-throttle tracks, Lambert winds down with the epic closer Closer To You, showing off the full range of his vocals.
8/10
