Listen to Brazen feat. Adam Lambert "What's Love Got To Do With It"
June 19, 2009
Who knew that self-styled glam rocker Adam Lambert had such a love for contemporary disco pop?
Check out Brazen's cover of Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It" that features Adam Lambert's vocals. It seems that this is a track that the American Idol finalist recorded before his recent run on Idol, and some may even question if it's really Lambert's shrieking. I think there's no doubt that the glamtastic vocals on this cover are undeniably his.
Brazen is the alter ego of Northern Irish artist Aaron McClelland, aka Fonzerelli who has remixed many European dance acts and is championed by several high-profile DJs including Tiesto. According to Wikipedia, Aaron "teamed up with Adam Lambert [prior to reaching the final 4 in the American Idol finale] under their Digital Glitter guise and has been close to the singer since, helping him out with promotion."
Lambert restrains himself pretty well on this Tina Turner revamp, not trying to outperform the original. It's not exactly something you'd hear on American radio, but this track may very well be huge in clubs across the Mediterranean this summer.
The song will be released on iTunes on June 29.
