Trespassing

American Idol runner-up and sometimes Queen frontman Adam Lambert pulls out the heavy artillery for his second album. It features producers Smeezingtons, Benny Blanco, and Dr. Luke; guests Nile Rodgers and Sam Sparro; and songwriters Bruno Mars, Pharrell Williams, and Josh Abraham. The big guns show off Glambert’s versatile, multi-octave voice on “Better Than I Know Myself” and “Outlaws of Love,” while contemporary touches like electro (“Never Close Our Eyes”) and emo-rock put him in line with today's genre-blending sounds.
