Futuristic beats, soul vibe and voice smooth enough to melt any heart out there. Sparrows' "Get To Know You" is sort of Lorde and Lauryn Hill having a coffee in a place run by Ta-Ku and I think that should be enough to sparkle your interest to hit that play button.

Besides the fact that the song is one of the best alt/electropop tracks I've heard in a while, that fox mask is definitely big + in my book. This is the first track I've heard of the Sydney-based producer & singer, but mark my words - you'll be seeing this name quite often in the near future.

If you're curious about the inspiration of the song, here's a few words from Sparrows herself:

I had laid down a beat, which included recordings of a stapler, lighters and a ping-pong ball. I sat on it for a few weeks not yet knowing it’s home. However after a fun and flirty weekend at Return to Rio, the song pretty much wrote itself. I found myself in a magical setting where the sun was setting on partygoers in wacky costumes. There was a fox, a swarm of smurfs urging a panda to skull a shot of Listerine and a pirate with a tutu. We were all together in our own special world of weirdness. I got to think who are all these amazing people? The beauty of this entire setting was that we had the freedom to express our identities and be accepted in all of our states of existence and that’s what has inspired this song.
