Sof's Song of the Week

Coverdrive - 'Sparks'

This new four piece group known as CoverDrive are the latest musical export from Barbados who have been riding high in the charts with tracks ‘Lick Ya Down’ and ‘Twilght’.

The groups set up mirrors 90’s group No Doubt and the Black Eyed Peas with  a 3:1 boy:girl ratio. Their lead singer Amanda offers a sweet vocal on my song of the week ‘Sparks’.

The Caribbean-Pop track brings a feeling of warmth and sunshine. If you close your eyes you can imagine yourself on a beach sipping a cocktail as she sings ‘Happy to see you, setting me off like sparks. You ignite all the colours inside my heart’ over the piano keys and smooth synths. Once you have heard the catchy summery chorus over the repetitive clappy beat it will be hard to shake off.

Perhaps the UK’s dreary, grey and dull weather at the moment has influenced my song choice of the week! Check out the summery, fresh video and escape with CoverDrive for approximately 3 minutes.
