The Sound Of Sunshine – Michael Franti & SpearheadView More By Michael Franti & Spearhead Our ReviewMichael Franti creates music that’s meant to inspire his listeners. Whether it’s to political action, to personal reflection, or to take it easy and enjoy the sunshine, Franti has a way of telling people things. His music has always enjoyed a fluid relationship with varied genres and the reggae-pop of 2010’s The Sound of Sunshine has a sound that’s pure summer. The title track, “Shake It,” featuring Lady Shaw, and “Hey Hey Hey” are as free-spirited an opening trio as could be imagined.

(5 stars) ... this would be it. Despite the criticism, which suggests Franti's previous works were better because of his socio-political commentary, this album is superb. Every song overflows with joy. Michael and the gang have taken their music to a much more accessible realm. Sure, Franti stands for social justice - as we all should - but with so many albums preceeding this one about such things, it's nice to see an album that actually celebrates th
