The Hollywood Reporter's Review of Adam Lambert's “Shady”

“Shady”

With the feel of a late 90s pop radio hit, this flash forward of nostalgia features a retro, almost early NSync sound and the unmistakable guitar stylings of Chic’s Nile Rodgers bringing it back another decade or two. Think: Lambert as a one-man boy band.

Brian Mansfield's Review of 'Shady'

Shady (Sam Sparro, Lester Mendez, Adam Lambert).

This is the much anticipated collaboration with Nile Rodgers, and, if you're familiar with the Chic guitarist's work, you'll recognize the groove he lays down the instant you hear it. If, that is, you're not completely distracted by Adam's multiple vocal tracks. Tunes like this are gold mines for fans of Adam's singing, especially when listening through headphones: It's like having a roomful of Adams.

Billboard's Review of "Shady"

Shady - Robotic posing leads into some harmonized funk, as Lambert requests a ticket to the underground. Third straight track with killer production.
