This religious anthem is nearly A DECADE OLD
I was just thinking today about the brief period of about four weeks where it seemed like Sam Sparro would be a legitimately great pop star. Sam's big opening peaked at #2 in the UK and spent almost a year on the chart (!), then received a Grammy nomination, but I'm not sure if the general public would remember it that well? I don't have my book of stats at hand so maybe someone else can shed some light on that question
The album was one of the most disappointing comedowns in history though, I remember thinking it was going to be a masterpiece and it was truly anything but. 21st Century Life was such a completely SHIT follow up single, I just relistened for the first time in years and those lyrics are just as as they were in 2008. Then he went off on Madonna in some magazine and that was it for me and old SAMMY
Black And Gold remains one of the best songs of the MILLENNIUM though, nothing can change that. How do you feel about this oldie but goodie?
