I don’t know... honest?”  In fact,\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eI Am Not Lambert\u003c\/em\u003e begins with Lambert singing in sometimes Vocodered tongues amid ‘Spirit’’s gentle flutters. Australian Kat Frankie lends hushed tones to the gossamer ‘So Unkind’, and old friend Dekker layers harmonies over ‘The Sum’’s soulful poise until moved to Prince-like testimony. There’s also Goodwin (Rob of The Slow Show), whose weathered croon on the devastating ‘Hurts Like You’ unconsciously rekindles the spirit of Lambchop’s Is A Woman. But none of these three is Lambert.  Nor are regular cohorts Daniel Schaub (guitars, bass, drums), Marie-Claire Schlameus (cello) and Ralph Heidel (saxophone, clarinet, flute). Adding soft-hued shading to tracks like the poignant ‘All At Once’, Heidel is also featured on the suave ‘The Garage’, while Schlameus plays a prominent role on ‘Parthenope’, its piano’s top line inspired by Paolo Sorrentino’s film, its lower notes ticking like clockwork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clouds Hill","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":56762309968203,"sku":"R9100-2230","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":56762310000971,"sku":"R9100-8779","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/lambert.jpg?v=1773145206"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/lambert.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
