Earlier this year, Mr Sparro ruffled a few feathers when he slagged Madonna by telling a UK interviewer he thought she was "wretched", "vulgar" and "not young and sexy anymore". Controversial statement or not, it certainly got this Australian singer-songwriter noticed but his self-titled debut album is anything but controversial and certainly not boring.
It's a solid offering of discofied electro-dunk, with his soulful tones used to full effect across a constantly shifting spectrum of dance styles. Some of the lyrics are a bit juvenile but on the large part, his songs likes to tackle big ideas about the world and our place in it such as his hit debut single, "Black and Gold", which peaked at no.2 on the UK Singles Chart and no.4 on the ARIA Singles Chart back home.
