Single ‘She’s Got Me Dancing’ Released 4th May
Tommy Sparks self-released debut single ‘I’m A Rope’ caught the attention of everyone earlier this year and now the eagerly anticipated debut album - featuring new single, ‘She’s Got Me Dancing’, looks set to elevate the charismatic newcomer to the next level.
Written by Tommy and produced with Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys, Razorlight & Foals) - the pop star in waitings long player is full to the rafters with bite size nuggets of goodness. From the anthemic stadium fillers like ‘These Things Happen’ to the Talking Heads inspired ‘Much Too Much’, the euphoric future single ‘Brand New Love’ and the intoxicating Chic, MGMT and Franz melting pot that is new single - ‘She’s Got Me Dancing’, Tommy’s proves he’s as versatile as he is brilliant.
Gathering fans from the Bloc Party support earlier this year, Tommy’s energetic live show continues to go from strength to strength moving even the most lacklustre of people. Directed by Eric Wareheim one half of cult US comedy duo Tim and Eric, the video for current single ‘She’s Got Me Dancing’ follows suit from the live show and is a twisted soul train on acid affair. He’s also done videos for The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MGMT and the Bird and the Bee.
The debut album fits just as snugly in a ram-jammed super club as it would at the grimiest of rock festivals, or in a cosy bedroom, for that matter. Quite simply Tommy’s tunes are here to remind people of the universal power of music - to make you move.
NB Live favourite ‘Weekends Over’ that Tommy wrote on the road when he was on tour with Bloc Party is being recorded now and will be added to the album at a later date.
