Lambert co-wrote all six tunes on this eclectic pop EP. Velvet: Side A opens with his smash single, the funky “Superpower,” which instantly lures his audience in this collection.
It is followed by the nonchalant and mellow “Stranger You Are,” which features Lambert’s crisp voice, as well as the piano-driven and bluesy ballad “Closer to You,” where he displays his wide vocal range in its pure form.
Equally gorgeous is the mid-tempo and atmospheric “Overglow,” which is worthy of the repeat button. It closes with the sassy and funky “Loverboy,” which was a retro vibe to it, and on a fitting note with “Loverboy,” where Lambert leaves fans and listeners yearning for more.
Velvet: Side A is available on Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon Music.
Tomorrow, as Digital Journal reported, Adam Lambert and Queen will be performing at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City.
The Verdict
