Sparkle, the validating voice of Lifetime’s ratings shattering documentary ‘Surviving R. Kelly’, makes ‘Easy’ the first official single from her upcoming EP “Obstacle Course.” ’Easy’ is not the first music being heard from Obstacle Course. Sparkle’s empowerment anthem ’We Are Ready’ produced by the late Lashawn “Big Shiz” Daniels is also on the upcoming EP. ‘We Are Ready’, featured and released in conjunction with the SRK documentary to raise awareness of abuse towards underage girls and women of color. The EP’s title “Obstacle Course” is what Sparkle calls, “a description of what life has been since I first used my voice to stand against an abuser.” Losing Lashawn, a co-executive producer of the project was a tremendous obstacle to overcome, both musically and personally. Obstacle Course is Sparkle’s most personal project yet. ‘Easy’ is a song that Sparkle made to honor her support system that has held her down like “anchors fighting the waves”. Listeners will hear Sparkle’s desire to mend fences with members of her family in ‘Open Letter’ and feelings about societal abandonment towards victims of abuse in the ’Shutters’ track. The EP is scheduled for 2021 release and should have listeners attention with such intimate thoughts over music. Sparkle assures everyone that this project isn’t one that is somber or sad. Appearing to be in a space of complete confidence knowing she’s done as she says, “the right thing in real time.”
