| Late in 2011, Matisyahu posted a picture to the web, clean-shaven and |
| looking sharp with the caption "No more Chassidic reggae superstar. |
| Sorry folks, all you get is me...no alias." Produced by Kool Kojak, who |
| had previously worked with glossy, glossy, glossy acts like Kesha and |
| Nicki Minaj, Spark Seeker is the musical version of that picture, with |
| no "Sorry folks" required. Comfortably rock along with lead single |
| "Sunshine" and the supportive figure could be God, the significant |
| other, or any friend, but most importantly, Matisyahu's evolution to |
| somewhat secular, positive pop-reggae star feels entirely natural, as if |
| playing on that jam band circuit rubbed off quite well, leaving |
| Iration-type vibes and the desire to speak to wider audience. There's |
| still that spiritual anchor with a kabbalistic reference in the title |
| and especially on tracks like "Bal Shem Tov", "King Crown of Judah", and |
| "Tel Aviv'n", plus the Babylon system and the world of materialism are |
| both obvious enemies throughout, although not the laptop as this non- |
| Marley song called "Buffalo Soldier" bubbles and burps in a wild, |
| synthetic style. The satisfying reggae-rocker "I Believe in Love" sounds |
| like a Coldplay remix of Matisyahu's old catalog, while the feel good, |
| "love everything with all of my might" closer "Shine on You" is all the |
| best bits of Wyclef, K'naan, and will.i.am spun together. The good news |
| is, Matisyahu sounds not only comfortable in these surroundings, but |
| either at home or genuinely excited to be tackling something new, and |
| without selling his soul. This enthusiasm makes it easy to ignore the |
| handful of cheesy ideas and dated sounds that dot the album, and while |
| both the sternly Chassidic and sternly roots reggae factions of his |
| fanbase might find it disappointing, Spark Seeker holds plenty of life |
| and appeal. |
