Taken from The Province (June 09, 2016)

CD Review: Michael Franti

by Stuart Derdeyn


MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD: Soulrocker (Concord):


The fave artist of white middle class pseudo hippies everywhere is back with another predictable collection of feel-good vibes and campfire strum-alongs. The good news is that, aside from the utterly horrid frat party hearty My Favorite Wine Is Tequila, he has left the reggae-lite for Magic to make band with. Unfortunately, the discovery of stock EDM textures on tracks such as My Lord and We Do This Every Day doesn’t really stand as an improvement. A shame, because the opening track Crazy For You is one of the best tunes he has dropped in years, a soulful groover with some genuine passion rather than another rejigged take on his breakout The Sound of Sunshine. Oh well, Leave Home still stands as a masterpiece and the live show is certain to be fun for the whole family.
