Michael Franti & Spearhead will return with The Sound Of Sunshine on August 24th. It marks Franti’s seventh studio album with Spearhead and the follow-up to 2008’s All Rebel Rockers, which spawned the hit “Say Hey (I Love You).”
The band began recording in Jamaica with producers Sly and Robbie as well as in Franti’s home in Bali and his hometown of San Francisco. Franti decided to bring a mobile studio on the road with him while he toured with John Mayer this past winter. The album was finished in dressing rooms and hotel rooms along the way with Franti playing songs he had recorded earlier in the day to the audience that evening.
