DJ Byron Cooke came out of an “Exclusive Listening Party” where he listened to six Adam Lambert tracks from the forthcoming album Trespassing (out on March 20).

He reviews the tracks at his blog. Click this link for his full review. I summarize his thoughts below.

Cooke’s heard the tunes in rough mix form, so his descriptions of the intrumentals may not apply once the album is released in it’s final form.

1. Trespassing by Adam Lambert & Pharrell Williams – Compares it to Queen really likes the guitar hook.
2. Cookoo by Ollie Gee, Bonnie McGee & Adam Lambert – a party jam, by Katy Perry co-writer.
3. Broken English by Adam Lambert and Lester Mendez – A beautiful love song “which might just possibly be autobiographical. ‘I know you will understand I gotta tell you somehow’.”
4. Underneath – By Tom Shapiro/Catt Gravitt/Josh Kear/Robert Marvin – “Definitely from Adam’s Dark side” (Listen to the demo HERE)
5. Kickin in by Pharrell – A “club banger” and a hit
6. Chokehold – Cooke didn’t hear it, but says Adam described it as “90′s Depeche Mode”

Also there is:

7. Outlaws of Love by Adam Lambert and BC Jean – (Listen to a Live version HERE)
8. Shady
9. Better Than I Know Myself by Lukasz Gottwald, Joshua Coleman, Claude Kelly and Henry Walter

    I’m not that familiar with TMZ other than what I read or see here and there.  But I think they are more fair and balanced toward Adam than PH who seems to have a real against him.

    I’m confused.  Are you guys talking about me.  I’m not homophobic and I wasn’t connecting the two incidents in a homophobic way at all.  I was merely saying that Adam is handling the Finnish incident in a very mature and humble way and I was impressed by that.  I don’t blame Adam for reacting the way he did after the AMA’s because I realize he never would have had to defend himself had homophobia not existed.  Sorry if I came across wrong.

    Oh I am so glad.I often agree with your posts so it really surprised me.
    I am glad it was a misunderstanding.I hope the others that liked that particular post understood what you meant

    JoKo54 … I just read your first post and your most recent one, and I think you explained your position and your opinion beautifully.  I agree with your assessment.  I guess I shouldn’t have responded to Pat’s post since she was actually replying to you and I may have taken it out of context.  If so, I apologize to both of you …

    The stuff you said about PH is certainly true enough and is one of the most shocking forms of Homophobic/self hate or jealousy,I guess.

    This album is sounding better and better. Love BTIKM and Outlaws of Love. Hope Ryan Seacrest will step up and give Adam plenty of airplay. Looking forward to live performance on Leno the 17th and Ellen the 19th!

    I love promo time. Photoshoots, interviews, song descriptions, television performances… I remember how exciting this whole routine was last (first) time around.  Never thought I’d still be hanging on to every little thing that comes from Adam for years, but here I still am, lol.  Now if February would just get out of the way so we could get this TRESPASSING going…

    I am also looking so forward to Trespassing coming out.
    I love the range that exists in FYE and I expect Trespassing to be equally varied.
    I have no doubt the album will be gorgeous.I hope the US and UK radio stations jump on board with BTIKM.
