Editorial Reviews

Sparks Fly is a high-energy pop rock album, which incorporates many of Cosgrove's influences such as modern hit makers like Gwen Stefani, Beyonce and Lily Allen. The Nickelodeon star co-wrote several songs on Sparks Fly, including the first single, "Kissin U." Miranda Cosgrove co-wrote "Kissin U" with Claude Kelly (Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus) and the song was produced by Dr. Luke (Kelly Clarkson, Ke$ha), whom Cosgrove already greatly admired. All of the songs on Cosgrove's debut album are about boys and first loves, subject matter that's hardly far-fetched - the teen sensation and her friends are "always talking about our relationships and stuff." But Cosgrove's songs also have cross-generational appeal. Tracks like the synth-laden "Bam," the confessional pop smash "Disgusting" and the club banger "Oh Oh" all feature irresistible hooks, and are nearly impossible to forget - no matter how old the listener is. Special deluxe VIP package includes 4 bonus tracks, a poster, sticker and access to exclusive videos.

As the mother of a young girl, I had no hesitation about buying this album for my daughter (something I can't say for very much of the music out there that's flung in her direction). The music is upbeat, age-appropriate, and very reminscent for me of what life was like at that "just on the cusp" age, where romance is everything. The lyrics are thoughtful and heartfelt, the tunes catchy and fun -- in fact a couple are so firmly entrenched in my head, I find myself humming them at work (much to my co-workers' chagrin). A great job by Miranda!

I had been waiting for her album to come out for a while and I wasn't disappointed! I can't get the songs "Kissing U" and "Disgusting" out of my head! I did like the ballads and am eagerly awaiting her next album whenever she makes it! I could listen to her sing for hours and hours! I am also eagerly waiting for her to start touring because I would LOVE to see her sing in person! My only wish is that she come to my town on a day that I could go and see her! Great album!!

I like most kinds of music, so after liking the iCarly CD (got for theme song), I decided to try this one. It was actually a lot better than I was expecting. The CD varies a good bit so it isn't just one type of music for all the songs, which is always nice. Kissin U sounds much better off the CD then I did on Nickelodeon for some reason =P While no songs really stand out as "6 Stars", most of them are 5 or 4 Star songs. Either way, it makes a nice playlist on my MP3 player and is currently one of my favored playlists.
