Brian May: 'Lambert song is sensational'

Brian May has said that a new track recorded by Adam Lambert is "truly sensational" and destined to top the charts.

The Queen guitarist wrote on his official blog that he had listened to the song during a visit to Rob Cavallo's studio in Calabasas.

May said: "I was privileged to hear a track that the guys have finished for Adam Lambert, a song for a forthcoming film, 2012. I have to say I was completely blown away.

"It's truly sensational. In fact it's so obviously a number one smash, any bookie would be mad to take bets on it."

He added: "I am not kidding. I'm not easily moved to jelly by male vocalists, but Adam's voice reaches out with sensitivity, depth, maturity, and awesome range and power which will make jaws drop all around the world.

"It's an awesome performance. No doubt about it. The world of rock has a bright new star."

Earlier this year, May said that he would like to collaborate with Lambert, though the American Idol runner-up admitted to having reservations about the possibility of joining Queen.
