After winning my heart with her soulful "Get To Know You", Aussie singer Sparows is back. Things, however, are slightly different.

We're taking a break with the soothing, touching vocals and adding some good vibes in the mix. Her latest track is the perfect summer happiness jam. "Take My Heart Out" and its verse in particular  is that much needed shortcut to happiness.

When it comes to the inspiration behind "Take My Heart Out", Sparrows shares:

Seeing so many people getting lost in their devices lately, it got me thinking about a time when I lost my identity to a relationship. I could see myself doing ridiculous and embarrassingly obsessive things but couldn’t stop it, kind of like when you can't stop your thumb from scrolling, hoping you're going to land on a pot of gold.

As humans, we all have a propensity to get caught up in addictive behaviour - often in an attempt to tame our mindless chatter or fill a void with stuff. Take My Heart Out is about crossing that fine line into addiction.

After reading this, I feel there's one thing I should be doing - going out in the real world. Embracing the 32 degrees in my hometown today and walking around while playing the track as loud as I can. Isn't the ability of moving us and our emotions the best thing about music? Sparrows is simply wonderful.
