Trespassing (album)

After completing his Glam Nation Tour in late 2010, Lambert took his time working on his second album, and changed direction in both sound and creative process. Whereas his first album For Your Entertainment featured a glam rock sound, Lambert turned to funk and pop music to create a more dance-oriented record and began collaborating with a new team of producers, including Dr. Luke, Pharrell Williams and Bruno Mars. He also assumed creative control as executive producer of Trespassing and co-wrote most of the songs. Conceptually, the album represents the lighter and darker sides of Lambert and reveals more of his personal side. The album is split between two sections: the first "lighter side" features more uptempo, party-themed tracks, while the second "darker side" includes ballads and other songs that explore more somber themes of anxiety, love and heartache. Several songs were inspired by Lambert's relationship with Sauli Koskinen. These include "Broken English" which "reflects the challenges and rewards of this relationship", "Naked Love", and "Shady" which is about the night they first met.{{cite journal |url=http://bj4eva.secret.jp/Adam/INROCK_201203_02.jpg |author=Suzuki, Miho |title=Adam Lambert: Ready to get back in action |access-date=September 30, 2012 }}{{Dead link|date=July 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{cite web|url=http://www.adamwiki.org/wiki/INROCK_March_2012 |title=INROCK March 2012 |access-date=2012-09-30}} The song "Outlaws of Love" which he co-wrote with BC Jean is considered to be the most important and political song of the album as it is about legalizing gay marriage.{{cite web|url=http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/reality-rocks/adam-lambert-discusses-gay-rights-anthem-outlaws-love-211304468.html |author=Parker, Lyndsey |title=Adam Lambert Discusses Gay Rights Anthem "Outlaws Of Love" |date=2012-05-10 |access-date=2012-10-10}} Lambert first introduced the song back in July 2011 at the Sainte Agathe en Feux Festival in Quebec, Canada.{{cite web|url=http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/reality-rocks/oh-canada-adam-lambert-debuts-new-song-in-quebec.html |author=Parker, Lyndsey |title=Oh Canada!

Around fifty tracks were recorded for Trespassing, but seventeen total tracks were officially released. At one point, Underneath was considered for the title. Lambert describes Trespassing as a very "funky" sounding record, and says that he feels much more grounded with this album.

In October 2012, "Hold On", a song originally recorded for Trespassing, was leaked online.{{Citation needed|date=July 2013}} Lambert recorded the track with Printz Board and Nikka Costa, later tweeting that it was indeed a leaked outtake.{{Citation needed|date=July 2013}}

}}

Trespassing received generally favorable reviews from music critics upon its release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 66 based on 10 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews". Rolling Stone gave Trespassing a positive review, stating that it was "the great pop album everybody was hoping Adam Lambert would make." AllMusic cited Lambert's confidence and catchy hooks in songs like "Kickin' In", "Shady" and "Cuckoo" and stated that "even if these songs never grace the charts, they sound like inevitable hits and prove that Lambert is a genuine pop star who has now left American Idol far behind."

Entertainment Weekly was slightly more critical and gave the album a B−, finding its second half to be "so laughably over the top" and going on to say that "by the end, our hero is wailing about fallen Towers of Babel and ripping away his flesh and bone to a red river of screams." Slant Magazine appreciated the record sounding "current" and Lambert's "newfound control and knowing when it's actually in service to a song to unleash the full power of his voice", yet criticized the tracks "Better Than I Know Myself" and "Never Close Our Eyes" as "the same kinds of soulless, studio-slick flourishes that have characterized [producer Dr. Luke's] work with Katy Perry and Ke$ha". Billboard noted the album's change of sound and was positive of Lambert's "vocal charisma and ridiculous power" and went on to say that "the lesson with Adam Lambert is the same now as it was when he was burning up "Idol" three years ago—underestimate him at your own risk".

The album was voted the best album of 2012 in the Rolling Stone Reader's Poll.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/readers-poll-the-best-albums-of-2012-20121212/adam-lambert-trespassing-0814349|title=1. Adam Lambert, 'Trespassing'|magazine=Rolling Stone}}

The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, with 77,000 copies sold for its opening week.
