    I'm highly disappointed with this album. Adam is such a talented person, I expected much higher from him.

    His previous album "the original high" is much better.

    I don't think this album really showcases Adam's vocal talent. Most of the songs are pretty generic, with the exception of the title track, "Velvet." The majority of the album just feels like a generic, bland attempt at the recent disco/funk trend. I definitely didn't think it was bad, it was just a little boring and forgettable for me.

    Incredible album by the incredibly talented Adam Lambert. If only people hyped it as much as they are hyping H*rry Styl*s' awful music. Adam sounds more confident than ever. Such a beautiful album.

    Worst album from Adam and I'm very disappointed in him. What a waste in his talent! He should make more friends in the music industry...

    Great body of work! The inspiration in the '80s is spectacular! Favourite tracks: Velvet, Superpower, Loverboy, Feel Something and On the Moon.

    Álbum maravilhoso é uma máquina no tempo de volta aos bons sons dos anos 70 e 80, uns dos melhores álbuns de 2020

    "While Velvet's vintage vibe is impressive, it would only be stylish window dressing if the songs weren't as catchy and inspired as they are."

    Velvet de Lambert é excepcional! Muito bem produzido e com vocais maravilhosos que ressaltam o grande artista que é!!!

    Diverse, sensual album under which you can have fun and at the same time feel sad when you are listen to “Closer to you”. It is impossible to remain indifferent

    Its a masterpiece. I think it is the best album of the 2020 and Adam's best album. Closer To You is a magic song that make you feel like you wrote the song because you feel it. Amazing!

    This album is the perfect tonic for these pandemic days. The lyrics have wit, the songs are slinky and catchy, and, of course, the vocals are perfect. My favourites are the Stranger Your Are (Tequila kind of days indeed!) and On the Moon. I am glad that Queen led me to check out what Adam Lambert has been up to since Idol. Highly recommend.

    I've loved all his albums but I believe he has finally found his sound. His vocals are incredible on this album and I really enjoyed the production sound as well. On the moon and closer to you are definitely some of his best tracks ever.

    Acompanho o Adam faz anos, e como sempre não esperava nada além do perfeito, e assim ele o fez. As músicas são incríveis, como sempre, espelhando o artista que ele é e seu estilo sempre em evolução (para melhor), e seu vocal é muito bem focado também! Esse álbum é uma obra de arte, e merece muito reconhecimento!

    For me, this album is great, more calm than his last album, but still was on repeat.

    His best work!
    Amazing album. I don't know what to say else. The voice, the lyrics. It's just so amazing

    Overall, aside from a lack of sonic variety from song to song, ‘Velvet’ is a strong showcase of a soundscape that is – pun intended – smooth as velvet.

    We all need to feel something to be inspired, to create, and to continue putting one foot in front of the other. With his fourth studio album, Adam Lambert is finally taking a step in the right direction.

    While Velvet's vintage vibe is impressive, it would only be stylish window dressing if the songs weren't as catchy and inspired as they are.
