Music From the Couch
One of my dirty little secrets is an affection for disco and dance music in general (even though I hate to dance... go figure) With that in mind... I present to you a new tune by Sam Sparro. Enjoy Black and Gold. The official video is protected against bloggers so here is one someone managed to squeeze by.... slick video!
Sam Sparro (born Sam Falson on 8 November 1982) is an Australian singer-songwriter, music producer and former child actor. His stage name was derived from a family nickname, which in turn was inspired by the Australian radio mascot Sammy Sparrow. He is signed to UK-based record label, Island Records.[1]
Sparro's first single, Cottonmouth, was released in 2007. His second single, Black and Gold, debuted on the UK Singles Chart at number 23 on March 24 2008, and then climbed 19 places to number four on March 31 due to heavy download sales. On 13 April, it rose to number 2. It peaked at number two on the UK iTunes chart. Black and Gold was also used in a commercial for the British TV show Skins. It also reached number 5 in the Irish Singles Chart. His debut album Sam Sparro was released in the UK on 28 April 2008.[11]
