iTunes Single of the Week: Sam Sparro, "Black & Gold"

This week's free single starts off with a slow build up that never really pays off. The song is "Black & Gold" from Australian born, Los Angeles residing songwriter/producer Sam Sparro.

The song's got a boring beat, synths and melody, but there is something to be said for Sparro's voice. For being 25 years old, Sparro has managed to channel some of the nuance of old soul singers.

When it's all said and done, "Black & Gold" is a bland dance number, but Sparro definitely has some talent so maybe he'll channel that into some better music because it's certainly not to be found here.
