Adam Lambert isn't one for saying no to a challenge. Record a tonne of killer songs in whatever direction you like and make them your own? Check. Join one of the greatest rock bands of all time as replacement for one of the best loved frontmen EVER? No worries. Come in as runner up in American Idol but have an ACTUAL CAREER? He got this.
So when The Original High singer was in Australia last week, we asked him to give us his picks for a TGIF playlist, and no surprises here, he delivered and then some. From ASAP Rocky to Jamie XX... It's challenging, then dreamy, then unexpected. Black leather and studs for your ears, Glamberts, enjoy!
TGIF with Adam Lambert
I Don't Need Another Lover- Billie Black
I love Billie’s nuevo-neo-soul vocal. The track has a great slow-jam groove.
Vegas - Shamir
This newcomer has such a unique and distinctive sound. I love that the production is super minimal, but still manages to feel super sexy. I still can’t get this song out of my head.
Go Slow - Tei Shi
I love her airy, layered vocals and the dreamy guitars.
L$D- ASAP Rocky
I love that ASAP is challenging the idea of what a hip hop artist is capable of with this gorgeous and dreamy hippie jam.
Grace - Zola Blood
I love the combination of the falsetto vocal and the throbbing synth bass. A beautiful juxtaposition.
Kind Of...Sometimes...Maybe - Jessie Ware
This song is so hot. Jessie Ware has an exquisite voice. The beat almost reminds me of an old school Timbaland beat.
Girl - Jamie xx
I love the bass riff in this atmospheric jam. It’s so sexy.
2am - Astrid S
I like that this song’s chorus goes to a dub flavor. It’s wonderfully unexpected.
Alchemy- TALA
I love the kind of middle Eastern influence in this hypnotic track. I love it in combination with the light trap percussion.
Big Guns - Ruelle
This reminds me of Uninvited by Alanis Morrissette or Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. I love how the song builds.
