Released his first (real) single a few days ago. It's a song made for the movie '2012' - kind of reminiscent of Aerosmith's song from the Armageddon movie years ago with the whole epic ballad feel to it. Pretty damn good first effort with a good kick to it with some vocal acrobatics towards the end of the song. It was written by Lady Gaga. Here's a link to the video. Yeah, I'm a geek, but he's the best male vocalist on the planet.http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=64424781

I don't particularly like the song arrangement, but it's ok
It is the newer style autotune that gives you more options. It is much better than using autotune, but it still leaves artifacts that are easy to hear if you know what to listen for.
Sad what passes as a good singer these days.
I'd have more respect for these pop stars if they were actually off every once in a while, instead of tuned crazy like that.
As far as this particular song goes, it's one I wouldn't bother to listen to again.
THAT would be fun to hear.
of the voice or instrument.
Also, auto tune is not supposed to sound like people are making it sound these days. It is supposed to be for mild pitch correction - but "producers" are using it as an effect these days.
We are entering dangerous territory here folks.
It is crazy.

Adam fucking rocks, it's good to see someone carry the torch.
Mr. Sear nailed it:
Guttenberg: Why does it seem as if most of the "advances" in recording technology have had a negative effect on musical values?
Sear: The level of pop musicianship has gone down—they can't play anymore. That's why multitrack was invented, which in some ways further destroyed music.
Guttenberg: How's that?
Sear: People wanted perfect recordings. Listen, I earned my living as a professional musician for 45 years in New York, and I occasionally cracked a note, and busted a number of good ones in my career. But the musicality was there. Somewhere along the way, the audiences wanted live performances to sound like recordings. So I learned not to try to hit those triple-forte notes anymore, I played it safe, and the music suffered for it. Same thing applied to recording sessions—the producer wouldn't hire you again unless you played it safe. With multitrack you can record one instrument at a time, and you just keep punching in until you make it perfect. But after 28 takes, what have you got? And now, with digital editing systems, you can pitch-correct an out-of-tune vocal, but that always diminishes the performance. Lose that, and you've lost the music.
