In between surfing, producing films, and making college kids all over the world swoon over his jams, Hawaii native Jack Johnson has had the time to record another smash, To The Sea, due out June 1st. Brief description; heavy-eyed, fully developed acoustic rock for the fraternity set. First single, You and Your Heart, fits right in the guilty-pleasure catalogue; “But you and your heart, shouldn’t feel so far apart”. Breezy tunes, and a laid back vibe can feed any music listener’s soul. Mr. Johnson truly is the outlet of all things mellow. After all, even head bangers need to lie down sometime.

Having previewed this album, I felt as if each track forced me to go beneath the surface, and try to understand the transition of youth to adulthood. It has the capability of winning you over, hitting your heart, and bringing people together. If only everything that was contagious was this good for you. Many interpretations will come from this record, and it’s stimulating to see what listeners will take from it. The lyrics aren’t the outcome of a brainstorming session, but about situations that have truly affected his musical journey; an astounding alchemy of music and verse.

Johnson will take you To the Sea, and beyond this summer while embracing the U.S. with a tour full of good vibrations. This album will encourage one to live in the sunshine, swim the sea, and drink the wild air.
