Details

Sparklmami is a Texas-raised, Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist of Mexican and Indian heritage who transcends mediums to build a world untethered to conventional structures. Having grown up singing in church, Sparklmami uses instinctual improvisation reminiscent of Brazilian jazz, experimental soul, Mexican bolero, and funk to express the sentient nature of being. Sparklmami opens her debut record, in this body, by playfully inviting us into a lush world of reverie, nostalgia, and possibility. Across nine songs, were immersed in a gorgeous pastiche of cascading vocal runs and breathy sighs, golden saxophone improvisations, and twinkling drum beats. Singing in both Spanish and English, Sparklmami dives into the murky and wondrous world of her childhood memories. Sonically, she is inspired by the glimmering, verdant jazz made in 1970s Brazil, as well as the open-hearted Mexican boleros she grew up listening to at home.
