Miranda Cosgrove - Sparks Fly


The iCarly star follows her musical debut on the iCarly soundtrack with her debut album 'Sparks Fly'.

The album opens with the lead single 'Kissin' U' which was co-written by Miranda herself. The track is a regular teen-boppy track that is uplifting and a good track to sing along to. The second track is 'BAM' which is one of the standout tracks on the album. The song is a mix between pop/rock with a Ke$ha vibe to it which leads to the third track 'Disgusting' written and originally recorded by Ke$ha. It's a more mature track than the others but don't think it's not as mature as say, any other of the songs written by Ke$ha. The following track 'Shakespeare' is reminiscent of the lead single and is another poppy-style track. 'Hey You' is the ballad of the album. It's a refreshing change from the regular love ballads out there as it is about a friend trying to find the beauty in themselves. 'There Will Be Tears' is another stand-out from the album and it was surprising to hear Miranda hit all the high notes on the song. "Oh Oh" is a fun dance/pop track about breaking up and realising you don't need the person you broke up with. The last track "Daydream" was originally recorded by Avril Lavigne and is a great pop/rock track.

Miranda has really proven herself in the music world, and if she keeps on recording music like this her career as a music artist will go further. She's no Miley Cyrus but she doesn't need to be. She's doing a good job making music herself.

8/10
