Here's a girl we like. She's called Spark and she is a girl of the 'singing pop songs' variety.The thinking behind her sounds is thus:
1. 'Overload' by Sugababes is still quite good, isn't it.
2. 'Remember when Lily Allen puts loads of demos on MySpace but they were actually really polished and pretty much finished - that worked out OK didn't it'.
And so we have Spark. A very talented young woman who makes very modern quirky-lady-guitar-pop - despite 'Scream' sounding an awful lot like a single that was released ten years ago (see Sugababes reference above).
Elsewhere, 'Revolving' is a childlike experience which manages to do 'quirky' without making us want to batter ourselves around the head with a new Kate Nash MP3 that we have downloaded and burned onto CD specifically to inflict physical damage with.
Best of all however is 'Shut Out The Moon': a huge, glorious debut single if ever we've heard one. If we just say that it sounds like Xenomania producing Paloma Faith then you will get the impression that we are not talking some seen-it-all-before singer/songwriter and that Spark is someone who we all should be keeping an eye on over the coming months.
