Adam Lambert Dives Into Melancholy House Music on "Ghost Town"
FUSE TV - Adam Lambert Dives Into Melancholy House Music on "Ghost Town"
Update (4/21): It's time to get your whistle on. Adam Lambert's new single "Ghost Town" is here in full.
Like we heard in the initial teaser, there's an incredible, pumping house beat backing an ominous whistle hook—but that's the chorus. To get up there, we have a tame, acoustic guitar build up that sees Lambert crooning melancholy-yet-slightly-theatrical lyrics like "Died last night in my dreams / Walking the streets of some old ghost town / I tried to believe / In God and James Dean, but Hollywood sold out." It's a touch of the drama we love from Adam, but brought to a new, mature light. That evolution is also felt in the vocal approach, that still gives showcases of the singer's pipes, but he doesn't need to wail the entire time and goes for a more subtle approach.
There's a bit of disjointedness from the acoustic strums to the heavy beats, but once the second chorus hits we're submerged in this swirling, dark-house production that sounds so fresh, but accessible enough for Top 40 radio.
"Ghost Town" is the first single from Adam's upcoming album The Original High. Check out everything we know about the record right here.
