TRITONAL & JENAUX featuring ADAM LAMBERT, “Broken”
“Broken” is this week’s surprise WOW track and I’m expecting great things to happen with it over the next while. Not only does it unleash something new from Tritonal (from the upcoming album Painting With Dreams due September 9), but in collaboration with my man Jenaux (gracing the BILLCS Top 30 with both funky original “Get It On” and remix of “Native Son Prequel” by Gramatik), we have Adam Lambert on vocals! I’m not sure how this all came together but the results are pretty stunning, from both pop and dance perspectives. Adam has such a great, immense voice, and the production on his recent album The Original High offered a lot of restraint in favour of lyrics and melody. In “Broken” there’s a lot of harmony to blend with Adam’s vocal, which provides for a perfect match against the upbeat tone of the song, which is all about putting on your best face going forward after a breakup. “Broken” is one of those classy, diverse radio-radio pop/dance songs that should not be put aside. Adam’s vocal is instantly recognizable and Tritonal and Jenaux have crafted some powerful magic together. Listen above and pick it up on iTunes.
