The album is a gracefully arranged take on electronic music that more than fulfills the band’s mission of making impassioned music you can dance to. Along with harnessing the Bay Area-based band’s dynamic energy for a more powerful impact than ever before, SOULROCKER again shows Franti‘s singular ability to channel frustration into music that’s both thought-provoking and triumphantly hopeful.

Franti’s message of positivity-minded political consciousness, once an outlier in music, has found momentum in the mainstream in recent years–a phenomenon that compelled him to push his artistry even further on SOULROCKER.

Here is what Micheal Franti has to say about the new album:

“I feel a deeper sense of purpose in music today than I ever have in my career.”

“The album’s really about me challenging myself and growing, and just trying to make the most inspiring music I possibly can for this intense, crazy and wonderful time we’re all living in.”
