Prior  to Black  and Gold,  if you had never heard of Sam  Sparro,  you would throw been forgiven. But  from the get-go time you heard his debut individual, you would not have forgotten the twenty-five year old anytime soon.

The  single was tipped to turn one of the biggest sellers of the year, and spent a numeral of weeks at number two; Sam  was denied the top spot by 4 Minutes  from Madonna  and Justin  Timberlake.

GenQ�s  Review
I  had never heard of Sam  Sparro  until I  received an email telling me I  should check extinct Black  and Gold.  After  seeing the clip, I  wanted to find out everything about him, and I  too bought the digital individual the get-go day it was released � and I  accept NEVER  done that for any digital single!
This  single had to be a hit; on that point was no way it couldn�t. And  if this is exactly one call, I  can�t wait for the rest of them. The  song has a great pop feel, one that you can change by reversal the volume up on and feature your bass system making you seem fully sick! It  is definitely matchless of the highlighted releases by an Australian  creative person this year. Get  worked up about Sam  now ahead everybody else does. - CP
