Sparks and Cate Blanchett

Sparks have shared the title track for their new album ‘The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte’.

The Los Angeles duo – comprising brothers Ron and Russell Mael – also announced that the song, which you can listen to below, will come with a video featuring actress Cate Blanchett at 5pm GMT tomorrow (March 3) here.

They said via press release: “We met Cate Blanchett in Paris at the César Awards last year, little knowing that a year later, one of the great actors of our time (and a splendid person!) would graciously consent to lending her bootie-shaking skills to the first video from our new album, ‘The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte’. Dreams really do come true. We will sleep well tonight knowing that forever we can say we co-starred in a film with Cate Blanchett!”

‘The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte’, will be released on May 26 via Island and can be pre-ordered/pre-saved here. It will be available in a variety of formats including LP, Clear LP, Picture Disc, CD, Cassette and on streaming platforms.
