CD Description
As the winner of the 2007 American Idol competition, Arizona-born balladeer Jordin Sparks' debut LP is released with high expectations. Predictably, the songs assembled here are mostly slinky R&B affairs, but with the odd welcome divergence from the beaten track. Lead single 'Tattoo' is a breezy and anthemic introduction to Sparks' voice and radio-friendly nature, while later tracks on the album develop this sound further without losing any accessibility. Produced by a fleetof contemporary talent including the Stargate team, this release marks a bright first step for this reality TV star.
