14 DAY TRIAL // Adam Lambert dropped his debut album, “For Your Entertainment,” in the US on November 23, but he’s yet to release it overseas. To promote the launch, the singer has just premiered a new track that will be included on the material, the international version and the remix EP, as MTV can confirm.
Adam himself announced the imminent release of the track on his Twitter page, posting a link to the YouTube video and saying the track will be included on “FYE” the international version and the remix album. The song will also be released in the US – perhaps as his next single, it is being said – in the coming days, so fans should probably expect a video for it as well.
“Adam Lambert is under someone’s spell in his new song ‘Voodoo.’ The track, which appears on international versions of Lambert’s debut album For Your Entertainment, should be released in the U.S. soon, according to his Twitter account. Lambert announced the song’s release to his fans late Thursday, writing, ‘Song will be released soon in US on WWFM & FYE Remix EP! Check out VOODOO! Bonus track co-written w Sam Sparro appearing on international release of FYE. Turn it up’,” MTV says.
Though a bit different from the other, more energetic tracks on “FYE,” “Voodoo” remains very futuristic in sound, thus being a perfect match for the cover art Adam chose for the album and that got him so much criticism upon release, the same publication says. One more thing that is easily noted on this new track is that it has less “vocal mountain climbing,” a trademark for the American Idol runner-up, relying heavily on feeling and instrumental.
“‘Voodoo’ has a spacey feel that is reminiscent of the For Your Entertainment cover art. (Co-writer Sparro has penned tracks for ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.’ With its throwback, new-romantic vibe, it feels like it could have easily been recorded by Duran Duran during their 1980s heyday. The song opens with last year’s American Idol runner-up singing ‘Moon shine/ On the bayou/ Love shrine/ Break the taboo/ I want to know what’s/ In your potion/ Bound by total devotion.’ Before long, Lambert is singing about his lover’s ‘voodoo’ and being under a spell,” MTV writes of the new release.
