I brought this CD in it's first week on release, after being impressed by what i had heard of 'Black & Gold'. Im sure this is the case for most people.
You won't be dissapointed if you like Sparro's hugely radio played debut single 'Black & Gold', i can almost guarntee you will like the rest of the songs, bearing in mind the fact that the majority have a classic disco vibe to them with a mix of electro beats & some have hints of rnb.
There is no doubt about the talent of Sam Sparro & his vocal chords. Even the most critical listener can't say that this album doesn't display how soulful & powerfull Sparro's voice is, espically demonstrated on the hidden track 'Still Hungry'. Something that can't be said about the likes of Mika.
Standout tracks include Sally, Hot Mess, Cottonmouth & of course the original version of Black & Gold which sounds much more unique than the radio version which seems slightly more slow & significantly less electro. The record also has it's share… more »

Standout tracks include Sally, Hot Mess, Cottonmouth & of course the original version of Black & Gold which sounds much more unique than the radio version which seems slightly more slow & significantly less electro. The record also has it's share of quirky lyrics, my favourites being 'you must have thought i was your snack, as you're sticking to me like clingwrap' & 'although your lavish life might appear delicous, but not particularly nutritious.'
If i had to sum up my opinions of Sam Sparro, based on this record i would describe him as a unique more soulful & disco version of Mika.
