American Idol season-six winner Jordin Sparks’ new album is set to drop in July, and the first single is “Battlefield,” a big, splashy ballad that somehow manages to be both turgid and shrill. (Ryan “Dude From OneRepublic” Tedder works his magic again!) She’ll be debuting the track on this week’s Idol results show, but rips of the promo CD have been floating around YouTube for most of the day. I don’t know if it’s my speakers or the quality of the YouTube transfers or what, but her voice sounds heavily sweetened here, almost like it’s been covered in Splenda, deep-fried, and then coated in sugar just for good measure.
