Recensie
De meeste acts, tegen hun zevende decennium in de biz, zouden zijn vertraagd tot een kruipgang, krakend hun eerdere hits spelen op het erfgoedcircuit en niets meer uitbrengen dan af en toe een Greatest Hits-collectie. Dit is niet het geval voor Sparks, die triomfantelijk weer zijn teruggekeerd en hun veerkracht en relevantie bewijzen in een moderne wereld met een nieuwe plaat en een zomerse wereldtournee erbij.
Sparks, brothers Ron and Russell Mael, are back with their 28th album 'MAD!' on May 23rd 2025, their first release with Transgressive Records.
Most acts, by their seventh decade in the biz, would have slowed to a crawl, creakily playing their past hits on the heritage circuit and releasing nothing more than the occasional Greatest Hits collection. This is not the case for Sparks, who have triumphantly returned yet again, proving their resilience and relevance in a modern world with a fresh record and summer world tour to accompany it.
