It's nice to see Lambert embracing a shift in direction on this new track, "Never Close Our Eyes". It has that pop swag but also a little UK pop mixed into the American mainstream radio beats. His voice carries well over the growling synths, and that's really why we listen to Adam Lambert. His voice carries a lot of strength, and when he hits the falsetto in "Never Close Our Eyes", we are once again reminded of how well he handled those upper registers on his debut album. "Whataya Want From Me" may not be his biggest claim to fame if "Never Close Our Eyes" hits radio hard enough, and given that it was produced by Dr. Luke, I don't see how it won't. Can't wait to see what remixes of this track sound like! "Never Close Our Eyes" is the second single from Lambert's new album, Trespassing. Check it out.

Ron, your review was short but very sweet. I just tweeted same thing you wrote to someone tonight. I agree if radio does him right NCOE will chart very high. It would be a crime if they don’t. This song is phenomenal and I have said this since first time I heard the snippet but when I saw him perform it Kimmel Live I saw “hit” written all over it. Perfect radio song.
Ron, you should listen to the rest of Trespassing! All so much better than NCOE. I can only hope this is the last time Adam has to compromise and have TWO subpar songs released as his singles.
Love this song and every other song on Trespassing!
Yes agree, short but sweet article:-) I really like the song to and sounds great on the radio. I have already purchased my Trespassing album pre-orders for myself and gifting. Here is a legally sanctioned stream to hear the album http://www.myplaydirect.com/adam-lambert/trespassing-box-set/details/26791996
