Michael Franti & Spearhead - Welcome To The Family - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Every one of us has a family of origin-the one we're born into-and a family we're raised in, which, for some, like myself, may not be the same. Then there's our chosen family-friends and community-the people we gather around us, love, and trust. We also have a musical family, and when you put all of those together, they form the world family. Right now, the world is in a time of upheaval, change, and uncertainty, leading to anxiety and fear for so many. This album is about channeling those emotions-what I experience every day-and translating them into songs that others can connect with. The first single, InchBreak Up With Everything,Inch is an example of that-taking these feelings and putting them into music that resonates and brings people together. Welcome to the Family is a record about finding connection in the midst of uncertainty, leaning into the love that surrounds us, and remembering that, no matter where we come from, we are all part of something bigger.
