June 25, 2008 Jam It / Slam It: Sam Sparro – Black and Gold

Update: Love muffins, I partied to way to hard at the BET Awards ‘08 after party. I forgot I posted this video some months ago! Take me higher lord! My shut yo mouth potion got to me!

Sam Sparro’s released his self-titled debut album Tuesday and it is at a store near you. His debut is a joyous, glad-to-be-alive and utterly delicious mix of lush soulful vocals, electro pop beats and killer choruses. It makes me want to paw paw right now! The album shows off Sam’s voice in a full spine tingling effect while highlighting his wildly eclectic musical tastes. His lead single, “Black and Gold”, is a track that typifies Sam’s signature sound – as Sam would it put it, “classic soul meets classic funk mixed with the kind of music I listen to now,” including contemporary influences SWV and Hot Chip. His song “Black and Gold” has been watched about 5 million times on YouTube, but I am just now hearing the song! If you like this song, visit iTunes to download the song for free since the version below is not great quality. You know the drill love muffins, would you jam it or slam it?
