Sparks Wins the Battle

Second albums should be used for maturation and that is exactly what American Idol season six Winner, Jordin Sparks, does.

The young artist did not become stagnant after her A.I. fame nor did she bask in the acclaim that she garnered for her first album. She went back into the studio and created this album that can be called nothing less than a work of art.

The singer possesses strong vocals which helped her clinch her victory on the show and she uses them now to tell a tale of how relationships can be as brutal as a battlefield. The tracks can be broken down into three parts; the forming of a battle-where things are starting to change, the battle itself, and the aftermath-which does not always end in sadness.

Songs like “Emergency (911)” and “Don’t Let it Go to your Head” chronicle the beginning of the end where you find yourself begging for some form of attention. “Battlefield”, “It Takes More”, “No Parade”, “Let It Rain”, and “Was I the Only One” take a look at how brutal it can be when letting go of a relationship. The end result of that struggle can be seen through the tracks “Walking in Snow”, “Faith” and “The Cure.”

Filled with emotional lyrics and strong beats, this album is sure to become a favorite for anyone going through rough times when it comes to love.
