Customer Reviews

Lyrics?????? Beats?????

I dont know what everyone is raving about? This is nothing like Franti or Spearhead. There are no raw beats. There are no keen and witty lyrics. Its all beach bum sounding,Jack Johnson like,synthesized,sit around a campfire, type of music. The only reason I'm giving it as high as a "3" is because it is Michael Franti and Im an old/huge fan. I believe in his drive as a musician and humanitarian. Please don't tell me cuzz your music is getting more popular that it's losing its originality. Mike! Bring back the diggy beats and original lyrics!!!!!

Can see where you

Not sure if I like it but if you know anything about Michael Franti's career this is part of an evolution that has slowly been taking place for some time - especially following his trip to the Middle East. For years Mike has been making revolutionary music - hard core truth in his lyrics and message. His calls for peace and social justice reached its peak with the release of his movie "I Know I'm Not Alone" and the album "Yell Fire!"

I personally think that from start to finish "Yell Fire!" may be the greatest album I have ever heard. But he has been clear in what he has learned in his travels - he would sing "Bomb the World" to a household of Iraqis who are living in the most dire of conditions and they look at him like he's crazy... What Mike learned from these people was that those who are in the most dire of circumstances don't need to hear how bad things are - they already know it! The people need to hear the hope of a brighter day and of all the beauty in this world even at its bleakest moments.

So those of you knocking Mike for "selling out" - let it go. Take this album for what it is. If Mike's popularity helps his message reach more people, so be it. For those who think he has "sold out", I think you better take a closer look at the man - he knows exactly what he's doing.

Michael Franti and Spearhead Do It Again!

With its relaxed melodies and emotional lyrics, The Sound of Sunshine album delivers an extraordinary and excellent series of tracks that just make you want to dance. Franti brings music that can relate and relax an overworked and overstressed population on the verge of breakdown. Buy this album, and tell everyone that the Sound of Sunshine has come, and it is beautiful!
