Adam Lambert’s Album Comes Out Next Week and Lady Gaga’s New Album Is Streaming on Rhapsody and Both Are Amazing
Thursday, November 19th, 2009Adam Lambert’s debut album, For Your Entertainment, drops next week, and early reviews are in, and they’re awesome.
Says the Associated Press:
This vocal chameleon can be all things to all listeners, and he kills at whatever he sings. Lambert is equally adept at hard rock, pop, disco, and power ballads, often blending ingredients of several in a single track to produce unforgettable results.
The LA Times is less blatantly enamored, but still positive:
“For Your Entertainment” is a polished affair, but stylistically, it shows Lambert running loose like a kid in a Comme des Garçons store. With the Hollywood pop A-list at his disposal, he chose to go for it all: The only names missing from his list of collaborators are those firmly in the R&B camp (wouldn’t it be great if he worked with fellow drama club type Ne-Yo?) The results on “FYE” are inevitably mixed, but never a bummer; Lambert’s deft enough to avoid getting stuck in any one of the tropes he explores.
And Lady Gaga’s latest album, The Fame Monster, is streaming on Rhapsody for a full week before its store release. I’ve been listening to it like a freakin’ crack addict. I just love her and think she’s so immensely talented. If loving Lady Gaga is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. You can learn more and and listen to the album for yourself here. (Rhapsody actually gets a ton of albums a week before anyone else — you can find out who’s coming up on their exclusives list here.)
