Sparro teams up with Lohan

AUSSIE newcomer Sam Sparro is set to work with Lindsay Lohan after being recommended by producer Mark Ronson, brother of Lohan's alleged girlfriend music DJ Samantha.


"Working with Lindsay is an interesting proposition. I've always been a big fan and I think she's cool," said Sparro, currently riding high on the music charts with his single Black and Gold.

"I've never met Samantha Ronson but I have met her dad and her sister Charlotte when I was working with Mark at Coachella. They are a great family.

"I'll be heading over to Los Angeles and New York in a couple of weeks to start writing for Lindsay and a few other artists. I'm really excited."

Sparro has been championed by Amy Winehouse producer Ronson since his early days when he was performing in Los Angeles.

He has mutual admiration for the producer, saying: "Support from people like Mark kept me going. He's a sweet, humble guy and a great person to be around.

"If I hear someone speak badly about him, I'll always leap to his defence."

Lohan's third album, to be titled Spirit in the Dark, is rumoured to be a star-studded affair with a host of guest appearances including Ne-Yo, Akon, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Kanye West and Timbaland.
