Spirityouall

Throughout his celebrated career, ten-time Grammy® winner Bobby McFerrin has defied categorization and practically created his own genre of music. Millions of people have bought his albums, from the breakout Simple Pleasures (featuring the #1 hit “Don't Worry, Be Happy”) to Hush, his collaboration with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. They've followed his journey through popular stardom and fearless artistic exploration.

McFerrin brings it all back home on his new album, spirityouall, singing new and familiar words that come straight from his heart. Upbeat, warm and easy, spirityouall finds the always-surprising McFerrin exploring black roots Americana.

McFerrin reinvents the spirituals, mixing traditional and original tunes with jazz, classical, global, and bluegrass influences. From guttural blues to soaring riffs and soulful wailing, Bobby sings of his faith and of his own everyday search for grace and wisdom and the result will resonate with all listeners.

spirityouall reclaims some great tunes from the past and also speaks to McFerrin’s family history. Bobby's father, the great Metropolitan Opera baritone Robert McFerrin, Sr., was a great interpreter of the spirituals, singing songs like “Swing Low (Sweet Chariot)” with Bobby and his family.

Includes Grammy's Best New Artist ESPERANZA SPALDING who joins McFerrin on bass and vocals for "Whole World (In His Hands)" and "Everytime (I Feel the Spirit)".
