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.

McFerrin brings it all back home on his new album, upbeat, warm and easy ‘spirityouall’, singing new and familiar words that come straight from his heart.

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)".

Bobby McFerrin will always be the guy who got the whole world singing "Don't Worry, Be Happy". But his thirty years of music making have spanned an incredible range, including solo vocal shows and collaborations with legendary artists from jazz legend Chick Corea to South African superstars Ladysmith Black Mambazo to the Vienna Philharmonic.

McFerrin’s virtuosic approach to his instrument has inspired many; the New York Times credits him with spawning the popularity of a cappella singing, and the beatbox movement claims him as a founding father. He is a playful pied piper, a consummate musician, and a true visionary who’s sold millions of albums since winning his first Grammy in 1985.

Drawing on all genres, demonstrating matchless improvisational skill, creating new vocabularies and vocal techniques, McFerrin never fails to dazzle.

McFerrin continues to tour and perform all over the world.
