1) Product Description
2003 album on which Franti has now found a confident new voice. His songs reflect on fatherhood, life, & untimely death. 'Everyone Deserves Music' centers on what's happening in the world right now & how we cope with it. 12 tracks & a 28-page booklet with2) Amazon.com
As usual, Michael Franti and Spearhead resist any kind of pigeonholing. Though it could be loosely classified as a hip-hop album, Everyone Deserves Music is, more accurately, a well-crafted and eclectic collection of political protest songs and power ballads. Franti and crew confidently build upon a vast array of musical styles, ranging from the electro-Caribbean funk that bubbles through "Pray for Grace" to the smooth, classic-rock styling of "Love Why Did You Go Away." "We Don't Stop," featuring Gift Of Gab's adept rhymes, recalls the Clash's instrumental party track, "The Magnificent Dance." R&B singer Ledisi adds soul to the Sly & Robbie-produced "Bomb the World (Armageddon Version)." The disc also contains a 23-minute mini-documentary, which highlights the band's creative process. Spearhead is a band unafraid to bring positivity to light and listeners should appreciate the message. To quote Franti himself, "Power to the peaceful." --Rebecca Levine
