Country-pop singer Amber Lawrence’s 2019 album bubbles with uplifting energy. Inspired by some major life milestones—an engagement followed by the birth of her son—Spark is buoyed by themes of resilience, joy and love. The driving opener, “Heart”, is a survival anthem full of grit and electricity, and she vows to make the most of the rest of her time with her love on the soulful “Everlast”. “Hell to Hallelujah”, meanwhile, draws on the sounds of ‘90s country radio to pay tribute to a life-saving relationship, and “Hey” takes the vibe to a full-on, clap-along hoedown, as Lawrence opts to embrace life no matter the circumstances: “I’ll go my own way,” she sings, “‘cause life’s too short to give a hey!”.
