Michael Franti and Spearhead – The Sound of Sunshine

21 Sep

Michael Franti is one of those artists I could listen to nonstop every day.  His latest release The Sound of Sunshine is definitely the most upbeat album in the collection and it works beautifully.  I can already tell this is going to be a vacation soundtrack for me in the near future.  The title track “The Sound of Sunshine” is a great way to kick off the disc and really get the good vibes flowing and put a smile on your face.  “Hey Hey Hey” keeps the positive message going while “I’ll Be Waiting” will catch some off guard as you hear a U2 rift in the background.  “Love Don’t Wait” is upbeat and catchy, a bit reminiscent of his last hit “Say Hey (I Love You)”  while “The Thing That Helps Me Get Through” is a Lenny Kravitz-esque track.  While it’s still early and I need to keep listening, I’m loving The Sound of Sunshine disc.
