Check it Out! Music is amazing and I love that it invokes so many feelings, memories and emotions. I pretty much like a little of all music although I have my faves, but I was so intrigued with the song "Sunshine" by Matisyahu that when offered the opportunity to check out the new Album "Spark Seeker", I just had to take it.
Spark Seeker which will be available July 17th is Matisyahu's bold new studio album that mixes ancient traditional sounds with futuristic electro beats, rapping with singing,
songs of the spirit with songs of the body.
"This album is about seeking that spark within.”
Just check out the music video for Sunshine and get a little taste..
So when I first started listening to Spark Seeker, I wasn't sure I was going to like the album and I will be totally honest in that there are some songs I do not care for, but there are more I love than don't. Songs like Breath Easy and Shine On and Sunshine are all so amazing, but it is Live Like a Warrior that I absolutely love and just cannot get enough of! It may just be my new life theme! I love the message and I love the beat.
The collection of music is so diverse, it's all just a wonderful mix of musical instruments and vocals. From futuristic to traditional and all mixed in together, there is an element of rap and reggae also. This is unlike any music I have ever listened to before and I kinda like it!
This is Matisyahu's fourth album and he has also announced an extensive summer tour with co-headliners Dirty Heads.

I thought I had heard the name before but Sunshine does not sound familiar to me. I like it, very catchy and upbeat! Thanks for the giveaway.
