Sparks Fly

Description

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.
