The precursor to the second coming of Momo & The Prophet:
What I don't understand is why this gem wasn't on Sam's freshman album. For those of you who don't know, Sam Sparro is only the hottest thing since the electric stove. His self-titled debut album has everything from sickly seduction to a techno ballad questioning god, self-searching & an ode to marijuana. "Black & Gold" is the first future-club-feel song that I expect to hear in 20 years & say "That's a classic," perhaps along with some tunes from the likes of Adele & Ms. Knowles. (Something about "P-P-P-Pokerface, P-P-Pokerface" seems like it will never properly fit into the category of 'classic.' Sorry Lady.)
Unfortunately this one wasn't on the otherwise fresh album, so I had to go digging to find it. I remember hearing it once when I started my Sparro binge a few months ago (thanks to RdG). I found this song again about two days ago & haven't stopped listening to it since. Make sure to listen to the words on this one. A near-perfect blend of classy yet raw vocals, delicious harmonies, butt-poppin' beat, & the reflective lyrics that have kept him square off of the American radio circuit. Sam, keep the juice going (do I smell another album in the works?) & barakmomo fik. [MdG]
