Clickmusic	Music Site	2015-04-19	Paul Leake	Adam Lambert ‘Ghost Town’: ghoulishly sexy and stark "'Ghost Town' will be a definitive moment in his career because this is him at his purest. There's no drama behind the scenes and there are no silly games to play – this is all about the music he wants to make. He fuses a dark house melody with bleak lyrics about death and heartbreak, creating a minimalist pop song that's both sexy and stark. It sounds familiar in part because of that tried-and-tested whistling hook, but this is a fresh new approach that will please newcomers and his most devoted fans."	United Kingdom	4.5/5

Digital Spy	Entertainment News Site	2015-04-13	Lewis Corner	Adam Lambert's new single 'Ghost Town' first listen review: Compelling "Essentially, it's a mood perfect for Adam's balance of glam rock image, soulful vocal and today's house music-dominated landscape. 'Ghost Town's verses are dusty and spacious, as Adam wanders through them with an acoustic guitar line searching for his Beatrice (figuratively speaking) within the Dante-esque narrative."	United Kingdom
FDRMX	Music Site	2015-04-21		Adam Lambert: ‘Ghost Town’ Single Review "One of Lambert’s defining characteristics in his music is his ability to create a balance in everything he does, and the song doesn’t only strike a balance thematically but also musically… Being in a ghost town isn’t all metaphysical realities and bitter regrets—there is real, tangible anger in it that Lambert’s voice executes effortlessly."	United States	4.6/5

MTV.co.uk	Entertainment News Site	2015-04-13	Michael Pell	We Had A Listen Of Adam Lambert's 'Ghost Town' & We Can't Get It Out Of Our Heads "Lambert's vocals are flawless and having toured with the mighty Queen, you'd expect no less. However, if you're looking for more rock anthema from this American Idol diva, 'Ghost Town' is the perfect introduction to his third album and we're sure he's got some more tricks up his bejeweled sleeves."	United Kingdom
MuuMuse	Music Site	2015-04-21	Bradley Stern	“Ghost Town”: Adam Lambert Returns With A Chilly, Shape-Shifting Smash "So, “Ghost Town”: Is it an acoustic guitar ballad? A club anthem? A tribal chant? A subtle game-changer for male pop? Supreme Swede-pop? All of the above? Time will soon tell. “Ghost Town” isn’t readily definable, which is part of what makes it so intriguing — and certainly the reason why the song’s been haunting my speakers ever since it debuted."	United States
Official Charts	Music Site	2015-04-13	Rob Copsey	Adam Lambert makes triumphant return with new song Ghost Town: First listen review "The singer returns with a bonkers track that forces you to sit up and take notice."	United Kingdom
Pop Corker	Blog	2015-04-21	ddg1985	Adam Lambert releases hotly anticipated single ‘Ghost Town’ "The Max Martin-produced Eurodance floor-filler is a modern take on the nineties House genre, and undoubtedly the most radio friendly and current track Lambert has recorded in his music career to date."	United Kingdom
Pop Messiah	Blog	2015-04-21	Dean Boudreau	The 3rd Coming: Adam Lambert’s #GhostTown begins the Rapture of “The Original High” "After the second hook, the bridge goes balls out, with Lambert’s vocals soaring and climaxing with what might be the most glorious vocal performance of the word “Oh” that I can recall on record, before the chorus explodes in whistles and basslines once more to finish you off. It’s the most transcendant 15 seconds of recorded music I’ve heard this year, and for me personally, it’s the biggest payoff of the entire track."	Canada
POP On And On	Music Site	2015-04-21	David Esquivel	First Listen: Adam Lambert – Ghost Town "Adam Lambert comes out of nowhere and drops one hell of a record on us with “Ghost Town” and I can barely even. Lambert fuses gorgeous POP melodies with deep electro-house for an absolutely smashing sound."	United States
Popjustice	Music Site	2015-04-21		Adam Lambert – ‘Ghost Town’ "'Ghost Town' is an unusual but instantly accessible (and also very good) song which does indeed take Adam somewhere new and does, we feel, have the potential to make sense of the fuss to people who aren't Glamberts and don't care about online traffic. It feels strange to suggest that someone with such a big profile might have delivered a crossover hit three albums into their career, but here it is."	United Kingdom	9/10
Popdust	Entertainment News Site	2015-04-21	Jason Scott	The Singles Bar — Adam Lambert Haunts With Moody ‘Ghost Town’ "There’s a cool juxtaposition of the sorrowful story with the vibrant, pulsating beats thumping in the veins, but it’s Lambert’s nuanced vocal take that launches the song into the stratosphere. It’s not the first or even second listen that ropes you in: there’s something otherworldly about that third listen that envelopes you like a million steel chains, eerily wrapping around your body. While there’s not a proper chorus as we’ve come to know from mainstream pop, Lambert creates an atmospheric experience that is just as profound and captivating."	United States	4/5
PopWrapped	Entertainment News Site	2015-04-21	Shane Avery	Adam Lambert Is BACK With New Single Ghost Town "When “Ghost Town” kicks off, we’re not too sure what’s coming at us, until that magical chorus when everything changes. It’s a huge turning point for Adam, and has made yours truly even more excited for what’s to come off his next album “The Original High”, due out June 16th."	United States
SugarScape	Entertainment News Site	2015-04-13	Carl Smith	Single review: Adam Lambert - 'Ghost Town' "If we had to compare it to anything, we'd say it's like Avicii but even more batsh*t bonkers. A darker David Guetta. Martin Garrix gone MOODY."	United Kingdom
The Magic Critique	Blog	2015-04-21	Matthew Carenza	'Ghost Town' by Adam Lambert "This is a slice of perfection, and it just goes to show that Adam is one of the few true male pop stars we have."	United States
The POPshock	Blog	2015-04-21	Dijeizasin	Adam Lambert – “Ghost Town” "It’s then on the 2nd listen you realise this is all genius. It takes what we expect from the male popstar archetype (either your Ed Sheerans or your Sam Smiths) and spins it on its head – Adam is delivering soul and drama over straight up house!"	United Kingdom
Yahoo! Music	Music Site	2015-04-17	Lyndsey Parker	The Dream of the ‘90s Is Alive in Adam Lambert’s 'Ghost Town’ "I have heard the future of pop. It sounds a bit like '90s pop. It also sounds amazing. It is “Ghost Town,” the forthcoming single by Adam Lambert, and true to its title, it is hauntingly catchy. "	United States
