Matisyahu first emerged on the international scene in 2005. He offers stripped down reggae with a mix of pop with a little bit of electronic. As he states “my musical tastes are all over the board”. Hey I can relate to that. If anyone would pull up my Spotify list you’d see everything from instrumental and old country to hip hop and techno.
Matisyahu spent a year recording with Koool Kojak (who has also worked with Nicki Minaj, Travis Barker, and Ke$ha). They started off in Koool’s home studio then went to Israel where they booked a studio and worked with artist’s there for a clean slate.
The new album Spark Seeker does have many different sounds. In listening to the album you have some upbeat songs like “Sunshine”, some dance hall songs like “Searchin” and “Live Like a Warrior” which is a more serious and inspiring song.
I enjoyed listening to this album. It’s a refreshing new sound to add to my music library. You can tell that a lot of work went into this album. You hear the mixture of sound and types of music in each song. I could go on and on about the uniqueness of this album but I think it would be better if you just listened to it for yourself:
Well what do you think? Was I right? You can get Matisyahu’s new album “Spark Seeker” on iTunes starting July 17 as well as other vendors.
Matisyahu is also touring in the US

They are a sustainable Superfoods company based in Hawaii on the island of Kauai. They create organic snack foods with specialty ingredients and the use of superfoods. They use only high quality organic and fair trade ingredients. They make use of ancient techniques of 5 element food combinations. That’s just the snack itself. 
penetrates leather for long lasting shine, suppleness, and strength. It’s has a super fine emulsion that allows the leather fibers to absorb and retain the conditioner. It does not leave a greasy residue. Tantex uses an organic solution. It’s water base, not chemical based so it’s non-toxic, odorless, non-flammable, and safe for sensitive skin. It’s safe to use on most vegetable based and chromed tanned leather: car/boat/motorcycle seats, jackets, furniture, briefcases, purses, pants, baseball mitts, saddles, footwear, wallets, tack, golf bags, and more.
