![]() ![]() If you try and fuse any heavier elements, then you will find you will need more energy to make them stick together than you get out of the reaction. Fusion reactions that produce elements lighter than iron release energy in an exothermic (energy out) process. Nuclear fusion is the opposite process atoms are stuck together, rather than split apart. ![]() This chain reaction can be controlled in a fission reactor to maintain a steady state, from which we get controlled heat and power production. The three neutrons then go on to split more Uranium atoms, which go on to produce more neutrons, which go on to split more atoms…. Typically, a neutron will react with an atom of Uranium-235 to produce two smaller atoms, for example Rubidium and Caesium, plus three neutrons. Modern nuclear power plants produce power from the energy produced during nuclear fission, where heavy and unstable atoms are split open. Nuclear fusion, the same source of energy that makes the sun shine, could provide the answer, but there are some big obstacles to overcome. “Better Than I Know Myself” is the lead single off of Adam’s upcoming album, Trespassing.We face an energy crisis, so the idea of a clean, potentially limitless supply of energy is deeply appealing. “Better Than I Know Myself” is more radio-ready as anything on his last album, and I would be stunned if it didn’t perform excellently on the charts, and catapult Adam way further into the realm of superstardom than he’s ever been before. In my piece last week for MTV Buzzworthy, I wrote that “My sources tell me that ‘Better Than I Know Myself’ is a piece of flaw-free radio candy, a stunning midtempo track with a powerhouse chorus that’s like a pumped-up ‘Whataya Want From Me,’ and it should cement Adam’s place in the pop A-list.” I’m sticking by this, especially the latter statement. The most emotionally potent moment is the bridge, where the richer synths yield to a tinkling piano and the lyrics turn unexpectedly vulnerable: “I get kinda dark/Let it go too far/I can be obnoxious at times/But try and see my heart.” It’s a lovely turn, with a candor that’s refreshing to hear in pop music, and it makes the song truly memorable. “Cold as ice, and more bitter than a December winter night/That’s how I treated you,” Adam sings in the opening lyrics, a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it simile that speaks volumes. The added talents of Claude Kelly, too, who remains one of the finest songwriters currently in the game, augment the song’s impact, since Claude has a way of cutting to the core of an emotional conflict with quick, elegant images. Luke‘s signature style as a producer is the juxtaposition of relatively subdued verses and a huge, explosive chorus, and “Better Than I Know Myself” does that magnificently. But part of what makes the song magical is the way it builds from the opening of whining synths and a nicely percussive backing track, then builds instrumentally into the chorus. You can hear that the chorus sees Adam reaching into the higher part of his register, with booming, “Halo”-like drums and a skittering backbeat. Great news - it’s really, really good.įirst off, I should say that the snippet, which was released today, doesn’t really do the song justice. See, I’ve had a chance to listen to the new Adam Lambert single, “Better Than I Know Myself,” - in full. ![]() Get ready, y’all, because the evolution of Adam Lambert has just begun.
