his first single, "Black And Gold," recently reached no. 2 on the UK singles chart, and he will be releasing his first, self-titled, full-length album on April 28th.

Is is sad that his single's top 2 here and I've no idea who he is / heard his song? :P

YES! he is fantastic.

second single will be "21st Century Life," and it will be released on July 21st.

also, "Black And Gold" has been getting airplay in the US recently, and the album is supposedly to be released sometime in June over here. yay <3

Anyone knows wh there's a video for "Cottonmouth"? Was it a single or what?

Sam Sparro lover here. <333

Ah, Cottonmouth was released as a single back in 2007. A promotional video was also shot: http://youtube.com/watch?v=OxVq4y-n-0Y

Hey thanks! That message of mine appears cut... I mmeant that I have seen the video and wondered why the first post said "Black & Gold" was the first single LOL

Thanks, now I know

^ it was. "Cottonmouth" was the second song released from the original B&G EP, but "Black And Gold" was still released first. it was then re-released as his first major single in the UK this year.

Ahhh knowledge!! Thank you guys!

I love Sam Sparro! I've been listening to his album like crazy as of late.

I can't get enough of his voice. XD

Okay so I heard Black & Gold when Geri Halliwell was on FNP and I loved it! The shorts he was wearing were really funky. His voice is excellent!

Doki changed his name~ :O

he's SO sexy. but i don't like his songs... lol. i do love his fashion though :love

have you guys heard his Live Lounge cover of Estelle's "American Boy?" I actually prefer it to hers, tbh.

Black and Gold has such cool lyrics~ Love it. :D

i love black & gold
his voice somehow reminds me of seal.

Sam's cover of Estelle's American Boy is love:

"...unlike some people...MADONNA!" XD

Alphabeat have covered "Black And Gold" on Live Lounge recently. I like their version, but Sam's is superior, of course.

Ohhh, nice. Sam Sparro ftw though. <3

Sam's album will officially be released in the US on June 24th through Universal Republic.
