Sparkle***+[3:50] (Bailey/DelBarrio/White) : Tom, toms lead into this colorful and refreshing embodiment of spirited tones
that brings to mind the tropical paradise of the Brazilian, Itacar'e beaches. Briskly paced percussion, underneath, melodious
rhythm guitars, topped with a healthy dose of brass. Soothing falsetto lead vocals, augmented nicely on the hook with falsetto
harmony. The last part of Sparkle is memorable with ad libs and background vocal harmony accentuated by full brass pushing
"Sparkle" to the edge of brilliance.
