(EMI)
�Everyone Desires Music� alright, and on account of this neat little number the masses should desire this modest pop-anthem. Michael�s smooth-talking voice is refreshingly chilled-out as is this track�s vibe, somewhat similar to the type of catchy material that artists such as Eagle Eye Cherry, Lenny Kravitz and Seal coolly produce - and almost as sweetly endearing as the Black Eyed Peas' sublime 'Where Is The Love?' masterpiece. Anchored by subtle piano tinklings, a steady drum beat and lush acoustic guitar sweeps, Michael�s voice kinda wants to do reggae but remains firmly in the pop genre. And as if his singing wasn�t a breath of fresh air as it is, his political awareness to you, me and the layman would be, because he�s the man behind San Francisco�s mighty �911 Power to Peace� festival that is strictly anti-terrorism and that was this year attended by no fewer than 30,000 people who share Mr. Franti�s view that any kind of war-mongering is inexcusable. This man is going to go far, and sounds to be a far better candidate for Californian State governor than old Arnie. Peace! 4 and a half / 5
