About Me

... A little bit sultry, sometimes sweet, a little noir, and a little dancey, "Sparrow is fronted by the dulcet-toned Christine de Michele" whose songs are like little paintings- snapshots of the world or pieces of girl/boy melodrama. Sparrow's sound mixes sputtering beats, minimalist bass lines, French impressionism ideas, effects-laden guitar, and a nuanced Contralto. They celebrate the release of their debut EP "VIEW" which has been called "a sparkling collection of songs opening with a quiet, determined song that showcases de Michele’s vocal gifts." - Anna Maria Stjarnell -CollectedSounds.com
