Sparks – The Girl is Crying In Her Latte – Vinyl LP

‘The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte’ marks Sparks’ first release on the venerable Island Records label in close to five decades, following such classics as 1974’s landmark Kimono ‘My House’, highlighted of course by the indelible hit single ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us’. The album includes such instantly intriguing new musical vignettes as ‘Mona Lisa’s Packing, Leaving Late Tonight’ and ‘Nothing Is As Good As They Say It Is’, songs which once again display Sparks’ seemingly ceaseless ability to craft complete, intricately detailed stories within perfect three-and-a-half minute pop masterpieces. Both characteristically timeless and unequivocally modern, ‘The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte’ once again affirms that, after more than a half century making such masterpieces, Sparks remain inimitable, ingenious and, as ever, utterly one of a kind.
