Sparks: One of the songs that is really, really important to me - and it's one that I wrote - it's called 'Faith.' We wrote that four days before the (presidential) inauguration and it was one of those things. … Then there's four songs that I actually wrote and I'm really, really excited about.ĪP: If you could choose one song from the album for someone to listen to, which would it be? I wanted to pick songs that I related to on some sort of level and that I wouldn't mind singing for the rest of my life. Sparks: There's a lot more growth so my voice sounds a little bit more mature. Now 19, Sparks has grown up a bit, and she says you can tell from listening to her sophomore CD, "Battlefield."ĪP: How do you compare "Battlefield" with your 2007 debut? While her family traveled with her when she put out her platinum-selling, self-titled debut at age 17, these days, they join her when they can.
These days, Maggie serves as Sparks' main companion on the road. "Oh, now you want to play," says Sparks as she gives the tiny white dog a hug. She's traveling across the country as a special guest on the Jonas Brothers tour, performing at arenas packed with girls who, as Sparks puts it, "scream way up here, and they just hold it for four-hours straight."Īnd even away from the stage, resting in her downtown hotel room on a weekend afternoon, the 2007 American Idol winner is met with the shrill yelps of yet another fan. Jordin Sparks is living a high-decibel life.
