"Ghost Town" is a song recorded by American singer Adam Lambert for his third studio album, The Original High (2015). It was released as the album's lead single on April 21, 2015. The single garnered considerable commercial and critical success, becoming somewhat of a sleeper hit in select countries and receiving a substantial amount of radio play in the US.

Background

In July 2013, it was reported that Lambert had left his record label of four years, RCA Records, due to "creative differences" and the label allegedly pushing him to record an album composed of cover songs from the 1980s.{{cite magazine|last1=Lipshutz|first1=Jason|title=Adam Lambert Leaves RCA Records After Turning Down Covers Album|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1586431/adam-lambert-leaves-rca-records-after-turning-down-covers-album|accessdate=April 20, 2015|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|date=July 13, 2013}}{{cite web|last1=Benjamin|first1=Jeff|last2=Hughes|first2=Hilary|title=The Complete Guide to Adam Lambert's 'The Original High': Tracklist, Cover Art Revealed|url=http://www.fuse.tv/2015/01/adam-lambert-new-album|website=Fuse|publisher=Fuse Media|accessdate=April 20, 2015|date=April 20, 2015}} The day after his announcement, Lambert was contacted by Warner Bros. Records. A deal with the label was confirmed by Billboard in January 2015, along with news that his upcoming album would be executive produced by Max Martin and Shellback and was scheduled for release in the summer of 2015.{{cite magazine|last1=Halperin|first1=Shirley|title=Warner Bros.

Lambert first revealed the album title on social media on January 29, 2015, also his birthday.{{cite tweet |author= Adam Lambert |author-link= Adam Lambert |user= adamlambert|number= 560815349109895168 |date= January 29, 2015 |title= Thrilled to announce the title of my upcoming album: THE ORIGINAL HIGH #theoriginalhigh |access-date= April 20, 2015 }} In March 2015, he unveiled additional details regarding the musical direction of the album in an interview with Hunger TV magazine. Describing the style of the album as less "campy" and theatrical than his previous material, Lambert also identified the album's genre as "definitely pop but not bubblegum."{{cite news|last1=Fraser|first1=Holly|title=The Interview: Adam Lambert|url=http://www.hungertv.com/feature/the-interview-adam-lambert/|accessdate=April 20, 2015|work=Hunger TV|date=March 24, 2015|archive-date=March 25, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150325072513/http://www.hungertv.com/feature/the-interview-adam-lambert/|url-status=dead}}{{cite magazine|last1=Halperin|first1=Shirley|title=Adam Lambert Reveals Cover Art to New Album 'The Original High'|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6538720/adam-lambert-reveals-cover-art-to-new-album-the-original-high|accessdate=April 20, 2015|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|date=April 19, 2015}} Lambert revealed the single cover art for "Ghost Town" on April 16, 2015.

Composition

Jason Lipshutz, a writer from Billboard, noted that "Ghost Town" starts with "a Wild West whistle, which laces together guitar balladry and EDM drops".{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6553711/best-and-worst-singles-of-the-week-adam-lambert-jessie-j-refused-lianne-la-havas|title=Best and Worst Singles of the Week: From Adam Lambert to Jessie J|magazine=Billboard|date=May 1, 2015|accessdate=May 13, 2015}} Lewis Corner of Digital Spy described as the song has "a massive earworm hook – which is in the form of an addictive whistle line here – but its overall tone is marginally darker than their previous shiny anthems." He also noted that the song's verses are "dusty and spacious" with "an acoustic guitar line" and the chorus drops into "a deep house bassline and stomping club beats." Music critics noted the similarity between "Ghost Town" and Madonna's similarly titled song, "Ghosttown," because of the similarity between the titles and proximity of the songs' releases. Lambert was surprised Madonna also had a song with the same title, but he thought "Hers is like a post-apocalyptic love song, mid-tempo, and mine's like an existential dance goth rave thing. So they're two different songs – they just share a title."{{cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6545669/adam-lambert-madonna-ghost-town |title=Adam Lambert on His 'Ghost Town' vs. Madonna's 'Ghosttown': 'I Thought, What Are The Chances?' |magazine=Billboard |date=April 23, 2015 |accessdate=June 20, 2015}}

Critical reception

Rob Copsey from Official Charts Company called "Ghost Town" "a triumphant return...the kind of song that forces you to sit up and take notice."{{cite web |last1=Copsey |first1=Rob |title=Adam Lambert makes triumphant return with new song Ghost Town: First listen review |url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/adam-lambert-makes-triumphant-return-with-new-song-ghost-town-first-listen-review__8893/ |website=officialcharts.com |accessdate=June 20, 2015 |date=April 12, 2015}} Lipshutz from Billboard commented that "the track could use a bigger energy boost, although the dark house beats suit Lambert well". Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called it "perhaps his best single to date... [Lambert] becomes a house diva, singing with precision and ambition but in service of the song."{{cite web|last1=Caramonica|first1=John|title=Album review: Adam Lambert - The Original High|website=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/16/arts/music/review-adam-lambert-tones-down-excess-on-the-original-high.htmlwebsite=nytimes.com|accessdate=June 19, 2015|date=June 15, 2015}} Lewis Corner of Digital Spy commented "it's a mood perfect for Adam's balance of glam rock image, soulful vocal and today's house music-dominated landscape."{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/feature/a641341/adam-lamberts-new-single-ghost-town-first-listen-review-compelling.html#~pcuwLdHk17QttT|title=Adam Lambert's new single 'Ghost Town' first listen review: Compelling|work=Digital Spy|date=April 13, 2015 |accessdate=May 21, 2015}}
