Lambert – Human Nature

Somewhere between melancholy and industrial: ‘Human Nature’ reviewed

The track ‘Human Nature’ by Lambert begins with a dark, almost mys­ter­i­ous intro that imme­di­ately builds ten­sion. This dark under­tone runs through the whole song and, for me, forms the core of its atmo­sphere. The cool, indus­tri­al sound­scape reminds me of IAMX – not least because of the mix­ture of melod­ic synth pop and clear, indus­tri­al elements.

The female vocals are a sur­pris­ing twist that take the song to a com­pletely new level. Her bright voice con­trasts sharply with the oth­er­wise intense and dense pro­duc­tion. It is this con­trast that makes ‘Human Nature’ so spe­cial to me. The calm, relaxed mood of the track allows space to immerse your­self in the sound. This is rare in a genre that often thrives on tempo and energy.

What I par­tic­u­larly appre­ci­ate about ‘Human Nature’ is the bal­ance between mel­an­choly and struc­ture. The pulsat­ing rhythms and hyp­not­ic beats cre­ate an almost trance-like atmo­sphere. At the same time, how­ever, the song remains access­ible and clearly defined.
