Following the huge global success his Grammy nominated hit ‘Black and Gold’ Sam returns to the fore with a brand new album.
‘Return To Paradise’ captures Sam’s electro soul sound and features a wide range of musicians from all over the world. Production credits on most of the tracks go to long time Sparro collaborator Jesse 'Golden Touch' Rogg and Sam himself.
Other Producers include Grammy Producer of the Year Nominee, Greg Kurstin, Jono Sloan (Empire of the Sun), Tim Anderson (Ima Robot) and Lester Mendez. Players on the record include Jamiroquai founding bass player, Stuart Zender, Violinist Caitlin Moe, The Horn Section from Hercules and Love Affair and Midnight Magic, Charlie Wilcocks, Dave Wilder, Felix Bloxsom and Sam’s own brother and father on guitars.
Sam also worked with Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino, Florence and the Machine’s Isabella Summers and Swedish singer/songwriter Erik Hassle on some of the song writing.
The results are an eclectic collection of songs about love lost and the quest for happiness. Stylistically, there are songs that range from 80's electro soul and disco dance floor fillers to beautiful ballads.
What does Sam have to say about his new record? 'I’m so proud of these songs and can’t wait to share them. It’s been a long time coming.'
‘Return To Paradise’ will be released through EMI in May.
