Mike Love’s new album Love Will Find A Way was recorded at Soul Sound Studio and Studio Ala Moana in Kane’ohe, O’ahu, Hawai’i and was released on Love Not War Records. As the press release reads, the album title is also its theme, and it refers to the idea that unconditional love enables living beings to survive and adapt within today’s dire straits, particularly the challenge to ecosystems that climate change poses and the ascendency of corporations over citizens in many countries.

“People are hungry for something, and a lot of times they don’t even know what it is,” shares Mike. “Positive music that has messages of spiritual and social change can be a beacon for them in the darkness. That’s really the inspiration for all I do—healing. We need it now more than ever, myself as much as the next person. The music heals me as much as it does those I play for.”

In addition to contributing vocals, guitar, ukulele, and piano, Mike Love is joined by a cast of musicians on this album that includes Sam Ites on drums, Jon Hawes on bass, Keith Tsukamaki and Jorell Nacapuy on keyboards, Reggie Padilla on saxophone, Deshannon Higa on trumpet, and Kelli Heath-Cruz as engineer.

One of the stand-out tracks on the new album is “Let It Rain” that Mike agreed to give away for FREE download, this week only. Discussing the song, Mike told The Pier: “This is one of my Dad’s favorite tunes. It has a funky driving sound, and its about washing away the corruption and the industrialization our modern society has perpetuated and starting anew with a clean slate. The idea is that nature will reclaim what is rightfully hers in the end, and if we can go with that flow, we’ll survive.”
