Adam Barta ~ Superficial

What's not to love about Adam Barta? His love of perky pop music with a dance edge is evidently apparent in all of his sparkling music. He brings his music to life with witty, innovative visuals & dance routines. He has a flair for the outrageous and hilarious. And (from his latest twit pic) he has amazing pop star hair & very piercing blue eyes. Win win win. All these elements come together for his genius new single, Superficial. What you get is an entirely pulsating, all consuming dance track that positively effervesces from start to finish. Rave infused synths & a propulsive beat that won't quit provide the backbone of the song but it's the lyrics & Adam's vocal that really brings it to life. It's essentially about a guy embracing the things he enjoys in life - and if that means he is classed as superficial, well pooey to all you naysayers because at least he's happy and having a jolly good time. As is the listener because Adam's vocal is perfect for this type of song - and also highlights & accentuates the pure pop melody within the spiralling dance effects that will have you shimmying for your life on the dancefloor. There's a vibrant energy to the track that makes it a real euphoric listen - you can't help but feel consumed by the bleeps, beats & vocal feats pouring through your headphones as this track infuses your entire being. AND! As if that wasn't enough, there is a rather nifty video to accompany it. Here are a few of my favourite things from it...

• Ooo, it's a fairy tale like Once Upon A Time (before it got mired down with all that Neverland/Peter Pan is a tosser nonsense. Everyone knows Once Upon A Time peeked when this happened - ready and waiting just for that taking! SAUCY!)
• How Dragnificent! It's Rebecca Glasscock as the (evil) queen! I'm currently ru-watching her in RuPaul's Drag Race (The Lost Season). She just (on RPDR) lip-synched the shit out Shannel. Here's she a sickening vision in virginal white, all amazing knockers and unspookable wig.
• Adam stares into the mirror, contemplating what he would look like with guy liner (though if he puts it where his finger indicates he's going to look more like he's camouflaging himself :P) He touches the mirror and through the power of magic/video editing Dragnificent appears, checks her make-up & gives her boobs a quick caress. Just like my mum getting ready for church...
• Adam is (possibly) in Wonderland. There is a spooky forest behind him. It could also be hogwarts but I can't see that S&M tree that gives you a good whipping every time you walk past... Nope, it's definitely most probably Wonderland because he's got broken mirror all over him from where he's been Through The Looking Glass...
• It's definitely a land where wishes come true (classic Sweet Sensation number one from the 90s, pop historians) because some beefy dude has just cosied up to Adam & clearly has seduction on his mind. Adam clearly gets snogged by hot lads all the time because he barely bats an eyelid...
• A woman appears with another hot-to-trot guy. She is possibly an angel (or has been to a fancy dress shop where oversized wings are on offer). Somewhere, someone has just clapped their hands and said that they believe, Clarence, they believe! Hashtag ItsAWonderfulLife...
• Dragnificent is not pleased at all these nymphs and nymphettes bumping & grinding up against young Adam. She does her best pout as if she just lost a vogue-off to Nina Flowers...
• Apparently the horny omnisexual fellas are Prince Charming and Lancelot. If the beardy facial fuzz one is Lancelot then he can certainly lance me a lot. Fnar fnar...
• Somewhere in heaven, Adam, Charming, Lance, Rapunzel and Titania are all having a good old frolic on the couch. Carefully. I wouldn't want one of them to lose an eye on Adam's jagged couture. It's a health and safety nightmare :D
• Anyway, yes, they are all over each other like Kylie's All The Lovers video (but with less people. Orgies are so 2009). Tit and Rap aren't even distracted by Adam's massive codpiece. I mean seriously, it's bigger than in Chris O'Donnell's in Batman & Robin. And that was a mouthful.
• Dragnificent looks mightily pleased with herself. Perhaps she has warmed to the idea of everyone getting their frisk on like in True Blood season 2 when everyone in Bon Temps was under a spell and at it like bunnies...
• The party has now moved to an apartment block roof top where Dragnificent, Adam and either Lancelot/Prince Charming are boogying like they have never boogied before. Turns out the queen is wicked and has an evil plan. She wants Adam to wear a shiny red ballgag :O
• Oh wait no. It's an apple. Just like in that other fairy tale, Adam and Eve. Now when he eats it, you are probably all thinking "well, you've bought this eternal sleep on yourself" but honestly you would have gobbled it up too if it meant being woken with a smooch from a hottie.
• Adam's alive! But trapped in his own reflection forever. Curse you Dragnificent! *shakes fist angrily at the sky*
• PROSTITUTION WHORE!
