From the first second Hell of a Night kicks in, it’s clear Sunsparks mean business. This debut release from the London-based songwriting and production duo isn’t just another dance-pop single—it’s a full-blown, hands-in-the-air celebration with soul. Featuring powerhouse vocals from house music legend Amanda Wilson (best known for her work on Freemasons’ iconic Love on My Mind), the track blends nostalgia, contemporary pop, and club-ready energy into something that feels instantly massive.
If you’ve ever left your drink at the bar and sprinted to the dancefloor the second a certain song started playing, you already know the vibe this track is aiming for—and it delivers.
Sunsparks may be a new name to the front-facing music world, but they’re not newcomers. The pair have spent years crafting songs and producing for others behind the scenes. Now, they’re stepping into the spotlight themselves—and doing it with serious style. Their decision to keep the track for their own project rather than pitch it elsewhere was driven by one thing: Hell of a Night was just too good to sit in a folder.
Key to the magic is, of course, Amanda Wilson, whose studio session for this track sounds like the stuff of legend. According to Sunsparks, she “just turned up at the studio and killed it right there and then.” That kind of vocal confidence and artistry is rare, and it gives the track its emotional heartbeat.
The final production was helmed by Cameron Collie, a rising name in London’s indie-dance scene. His work here is polished but not soulless, danceable but not disposable. He knew how to build the track around Amanda’s vocals with precision and a real sense of dynamics—it’s layered, punchy, and packed with earworms.
Sunsparks draw from a wide-ranging palette of inspirations, and you can hear the diversity in every corner of Hell of a Night. Tracks like Elley Duhé’s Body Talk, Issey Cross’s Sirens, and Rose Gray’s retro rave sensibilities are all spiritual cousins to this single. There’s also a deep appreciation for club classics and underground cuts—namechecks include 2 Bad Mice’s Hold It Down and Armand Van Helden’s My My My—which add to the track’s multi-generational appeal.
They sum it up best themselves:
“I used to care a lot about what the music press considered ‘cool’ or ‘worthy’ but now I just want to lose myself in sound… sugary sweet or bitter and dark – it’s all good in different ways.”
That open-mindedness comes through in the music. Hell of a Night isn’t trying to be ironic or overly intellectual—it’s here to move your feet and move your mood.
Emotionally, Hell of a Night sits in the sweet spot between escapism and catharsis. Sunsparks talk about the songs that stick with you—like Fred Again’s Delilah (pull me out of this) or Grace’s Not Over Yet—as touchpoints. These are tracks that stir up something real while still being total dancefloor moments. Sunsparks aim for that same space: meaningful lyrics, high-octane energy, and just enough edge to keep it from being fluff.
This isn’t just about having a good time—it’s about feeling something while you do.
“The dance tracks that stick with you make you feel something… enough of a lyric to be emotionally involving, and enough of an edge to make you dance half-naked around your bedroom.”
That’s Hell of a Night in a nutshell. The track was recorded in Sunsparks’ familiar stomping ground—a London studio where they’ve worked on countless songs, often for other artists. But Hell of a Night marks the moment they decided to make their own luck.
Studios can be hit-or-miss in the music world; sometimes incredible songs get lost in the shuffle. Sunsparks are well aware of this. That’s why this release is such a pivotal moment for them. It’s not just another track—it’s a statement: we’re not waiting anymore.
“Sometimes the stars align and the right song gets to the right singer and the right opportunity. This project is us taking it into our own hands.”
For a debut single, Hell of a Night is a knockout. With Amanda Wilson’s unmistakable vocal magic, a sleek and anthemic production style, and a clear sense of purpose, Sunsparks are stepping onto the scene with both feet and zero hesitation.
It’s the kind of track that makes you want to get dressed up, dance until sunrise, and text someone you probably shouldn’t at 2 a.m. In other words—it’s exactly the kind of song we all need more of right now.
“I don’t think the perfect song will ever exist, but something inside makes you get up every morning and try again.” – Sunsparks
