    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.

    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.
