Short “Chokehold” Review by The Hollywood Reporter

“Chokehold”

Lambert gets the guitar out for the album’s most rock-ready track, but as with much of Trespassing, it’s the onslaught of synths that drive it home.

Brian Mansfield's Review of "Chokehold"

Chokehold (Adam Lambert, Bonnie McKee, Josh Abraham, Oliver Goldstein).

A darkly obsessive love story, told through the sensual imagery of an S&M submissive -- chains, asphyxiation, knotted sheets and a good deal of moaning. Part of him wants to run away, "but I kind of like the pain."

-Brian Mansfield

Billboard's Review of Adam Lambert's "Chokehold" Song

Chokehold - The verses float freely and let Lambert muse on past relationship transgressions. The refrains carry an industrial quality, with a guitar speaking as severely as the vocalist. The listener gets to soak it all in, blissfully.
