Album Notes

“Show-tune queens everywhere: This one is for you.” The Globe & Mail

“Hampton uses his warm voice to draw in his audience. He knows how to characterize a song and give it a dramatic life of its own; he can mine the emotional truths of a piece of music.” NOW Magazine

“Shameless consists of only 11 o’clock numbers.” Fab Magazine

“Hampton sings these ‘women’s songs,’ pronouns intact, in a clear, emotional tenor.” Fab Magazine

“Brad Hampton has great pipes - the throat kind. Shameless . . . features Hampton releasing his inner diva by singing a selection of jazz standards and Broadway faves. Effortless and gay!” Xtra Magazine

“Brad is among a handful of emerging artists who are pioneering an aesthetic sensibility that moves queer figures beyond comic relief. Shameless cuts through the dross of musical theatre to deliver a humorously gender-bent, emotionally-charged, and curiously nostalgic repertoire that tells the uplifting, tragic, and comic stories of queer romance.” Swerve Magazine

“There is a treasure trove of music by gay composers to be found on this album.” Pride Entertainment

“Hampton’s clear tenor adds plaintiveness to his performance of Barbra Striesand’s What Did I Have That I Don’t Have from the Lerner and Lane classic on A Clear Day that I hear in so few versions of the song. Hampton does a remarkable job on both Unusual Way and Stars And The Moon. ” Pride Entertainment
