It's an Idol worlds collide! Australia's very first ever Idol winner Guy Sebastian has teamed up with American Idol cutie winner Jordin Sparks for their slushy duet "Art of Love" music video, which is all a bit shouty but power ballad, and two astounding voices are brought together into the song.Sebastian, the multi-platinum selling singer songwriter is the former Australian Idol winner from the premiere season in 2003, and his winning song "Angels Brought Me Here," which Carrie Underwood sang in the Season 4 Finale. He since has released five albums and recently wrote his hit song "Art of love" and then traveled to New York City to record the smashing hit with Sparks. The song was officially released as the second single from Sebastian's latest fifth highly anticipated album, "Like It Like That," which was released in Australia on October 23 by Sony Music, the first since his critically acclaimed 2007 "The Memphis" album which featured covers of classic 1960s and 1970s Memphis Soul hits, and went on to achieve triple-platinum certification by the ARIA, and it featuring Sparks.
Sebastian and Sparks filmed the music video in Los Angeles. Sparks looks gorgeous in her glammed-up attire. The song's nice too, especially the second chorus, which features Sparks's harmonies prominently. "I'm still overwealmed that she did the song, and now is doing the video," the Australian Idol said of his American Idol counterpart. "She's super humble and very sweet and killed the track. She sings it amazingly well. They were due to perform "Art Of Love" on the Australian Idol grand final last Sunday, but Sparks was unable to travel to Australia due to a sudden illness. Meanwhile, Sebastan will head out on the "Like It Like That" Tour in February 2010.
