Sam Sparro

So everyone should already know about this kid... Oh you didn't... Well that's what I'm here for... The beat is dope, the lyrics are dope, and so are his vocals. Sam Sparro is very reminiscent of Prince. His music is a sort of like Pop met R-n-B and made hot, steamy love while Funk watched. Kinky, eh? But trust me... It's just that much fun. If you listen to the album (and I hope you do, i.e. purchase it), you will definitely hear the influences. Similarly to Ye, he's Grammy nominated and underrated... I encourage further investigation... Black and Gold is my favorite track, but 21st Century Life is his most current single.
