All Rebel Rockers

Michael Franti & Spearhead

Heavy Kingston-recorded basslines meet sun-drenched pop hooks. A high-energy blend of dancehall, hip-hop, and rock that remains stubbornly optimistic.

July 2, 2008 · Fantasy

Stubbornly optimistic and physically moving, blending protest-ready defiance with pure celebratory joy.

Moments Worth Listening For

The infectious handclap rhythm and playground-chant hook that anchors the breakout hit Say Hey (I Love You)

The moment the Sly and Robbie rhythm section locks into a deep, heavy dub pocket on the closing tracks

Cherine Anderson's soulful vocal interplay providing a gritty dancehall counterpoint to Franti's smooth baritone
