Michael Franti Brighter Day

Michael Franti has long been revered for his inspiring music, worldwide philanthropic efforts and the power of optimism. Deemed by NPR as "equal parts musician and activist," Franti continues to offer opportunities for gratitude, solidarity and celebrating how we get through the greatest ups and downs of our lives with our body, mind and soul still in one piece with his upcoming album Follow Your Heart, set for release June 3 via Thirty Tigers / Cooking Vinyl Australia. 
 
"One thing I learned these last couple of years is that people need people," shares Franti. "I wrote many songs about connection, resilience and finding the light, even in the midst of all the crazy. Somewhere in there we find resilience, and I hope Follow Your Heart gives fans the courage to continue looking for and holding onto that perseverance."
 
Along with the announcement, Franti & Spearhead release "Brighter Day," an anthemic call to endure life's hardships, to find resolve and strength in those around you and stick around for brighter days ahead:
 
Don't give up when your heart is weary
Don't give up when your eyes are teary
Don't give up when your voice is trembling
When your life needs mending
 
Don't give up when the hurt is near you
Don't give up when the world seems to be broken
