Album Description
"Like Marvin Gaye hangin' with LCD Soundsystem " - The Observer

Amazon.co.uk
Australian-born soul starlet Sam Sparro has been making ears prick up of late. His savvy blend of soul, funk and modern electronica nods to 70s and 80s legends like Stevie Wonder and Hall &s; Oates, but Sparro brings a sassy style and modern production ethic that renders his music 21st Century fresh. Armed with a smooth, mercurial voice, Sparro sashays slickly through disco, funk and soul, moving waists with the punchy electro-funk of "Too Many Questions", "Black & Gold" and "Cut Me Loose", soaring soul like "Hot Mess" and darker material like "Pocket’ and the synth-laden "Sick" (which comes over all Calvin Harris, admittedly minus the kitsch, ironic appeal). "Clingwrap" is pop-lite Prince, and there’s the occasional slower track like "Waiting For Time" and "Cottonmouth", but mostly this is an upbeat collection for good time people. His Daft Punk-meets-Jamiroquai single "Black & Gold" has already earned him deserved comparisons to contemporary blue-eyed soul boys like Jamie Lidell; Sam Sparro is assured enough to make him a star.--Danny McKenna

About the Artist
This is the assured and confident self-titled debut from Australian born Sam Sparro. Having a diverse and internationalbackground (via Sydney to L.A. to London), Sam stands out from the usual crowd. With his mix of soul and electro-funk recalling influences from legends such as Stevie Wonder to contemporaries like Jamie Lidell and Seal, this is a deeply modern sensuous soul album.
