Girl is Crying In Her Latte - 2023 European Island Label Picture Disc 14-track LP

The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte marks Sparks’ first release on the venerable Island Records label in
close to five decades, following such classics as 1974’s landmark Kimono My House, highlighted of
course by the indelible hit single ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us’. The new album is
described by Ron and Russell Mael as a record that is “as bold and uncompromising as anything
we did back then or, for that matter, anytime throughout our career.”
The album includes such instantly intriguing new musical vignettes as ‘Mona Lisa’s Packing, Leaving

Late Tonight’ and ‘Nothing Is As Good As They Say It Is’, songs which once again display Sparks’
seemingly ceaseless ability to craft complete, intricately detailed stories within perfect three-and-a-
half minute pop masterpieces. Both characteristically timeless and unequivocally modern, The Girl Is
Crying In Her Latte once again affirms that, after more than a half century making such
masterpieces, Sparks remain inimitable, ingenious and, as ever, utterly one of a kind.
