The pop music gods be praised! Adam Lambert has finally given us the lead single off of his next album! Adam's new single 'Better Than I Know Myself' is everything I could have asked for in a pop song. Stellar production, meaningful lyrics and a sweeping, synth-tastic instrumental make this a great lead single for his upcoming album 'Trespassing.' While this isn't nearly as uptempo as past singles, such as 'If I Had You' (my favorite from his last album), this song serves as a powerful electropop ballad that really shows off Adam's power-house vocals.
I will admit though, that I was a little hesitant about getting excited about this song when I heard that it was produced by superproducer Dr. Luke. In all honesty, I have never been a fan of Dr. Luke or most of the artists he produces music for. To put it bluntly, I think most of his work, while well produced, is disposable, lowest common demoninator, mainstream pop garbage that isn't worth my $1.29 on iTunes. While I might dislike Dr. Luke, I have to hand it to him with this track. It's infectious, well produced and has lasting quality, which is rare for a pop song to have these days.
Fans who pre-order Trespassing from Adams website will also receive an instant MP3 download of the single but it will not benefit sales figures.They will also get exclusivity to upgrades etc.The single will be added to US radio on January 23 for the HAC chart and January 30 for Pop but it is being played now by request.
The UK will get the release on March 12th and Trespassing follows on the 19th
