Adam Lambert "Trespassing"

   Because there was a buzz concerning his sophomore effort, I was curious. However, they only allowed some of the most well known critics inside the listening party. No one really knows or cares what I have to say, so basically I just had to see how far I could go. The bouncer, was a little pre-occupied so I could enjoy the party celebrating the album; the listening party was months ago (obviously). How fitting the title track is first, and the excitement that builds for the rest of the album. It sounds like Lambert wanna be startin' somethin,’ while I might start a flash mob. The chorus has to be my favorite part, and I could not help dancing. I had to keep it low profile or else I might get kicked out for “Trespassing.”  Yes, you could call me “Cuckoo,” but it’s not for cocoa puffs. It sounds “Shady,” but the bass is so addicting, and so is Adam’s vocal performance; the song sounds like an amalgamation of nuances from some of the most popular boy-bands in the opening aughties. The thumping bass in the chorus is what prevents the chilling synth of “Never Close Our Eyes” from forming icicles on our lashes. While the break smashes any ice forming elsewhere; there is an underlying easter egg that gives you a hint as to the name of one of the co-writers.                       I do love this song, and the first thirty seconds happen to be my favorite, but I feel a reference “Kickin In.” Yes, I feel one kickin in, as I wear a stupid grin; if you’re lovestoned is that a sin? Ok, still here. Raise your hand if you are still here..wait, how am I gonna see it? Oh well. With this next song I tend to think of Taio Cruz and Kesha making “Naked Love,” or their sounds having fun together in the studio. The first single “Better Than I Know Myself” may leave you speechless, or just speaking “Broken English.” If you wanna call it dub-step, you can, but “don't think out loud/ ‘cause once it's out your mouth, can't take it back.” This song has to be one of best in both aspects of composition: musical and lyrical. Next, you get “Underneath,” but only as far as Lambert lets you, in a song about the adversity he has faced for his lifestyle choice, or for just being himself. I’m wondering if “underneath, the depths of my sin” refers to the belief that homosexuality is a biblical crime? Or something else? Adam Lambert gets caught in the "Chokehold," but it’s not from cupid. It might be his bad cousin shooting his arrows of lust. It is understandable if he’s having trouble concentrating because no air is circulating in his head at the final moments before he loses himself. If a homosexual couple needed an anthem to outline how they feel when out in the open around others unlike themselves, and very judgemental, “Outlaws of Love” might work very well. Do you sense the presence of Muse? Ok, so I made it out. “Press Pass Please.” Great, the dreaded triple Ps..um, sorry I gotta run thank you  for taking the time to read this. “Get back here!”
