2010 CD Universal Republic 14266

Recorded at the Mango Tree, HI; The Solar Powered Plastic Plant, Los Angeles, CA.

2010 release, the fifth studio album from the acclaimed singer/songwriter. The album was produced by Robert Carranza, Jack Johnson, and his bandmates Merlo Podlewski, Zach Gill and Adam Topol. To The Sea features guest appearances from the likes of G. Love, and Paula Fuga. The album was recorded at the Mango Tree Studio in Hawaii, and the Solar Powered Plastic Plant in LA using 100% solar power.



Jack Johnson quietly turned into a star over the course of the 2000s, so it’s only fitting that he inaugurates the second decade of his recording career with To the Sea, an album that feels like the work of a soft rock superstar. Of course, that’s what Johnson is, but he’s avoided sounding that way by performing soft-shuffle acoustic numbers, camouflaging his pop move as a soundtrack to Curious George, then getting mellowly introspective on 2008’s Sleep Through the Static. To the Sea blows away the drowsy cobwebs from Sleep, pushing the acoustic guitar to the background and letting his band groove politely, usually in an amiable, unhurried gait that never breaks a sweat even when the musicians goose the tempo a bit. Call it the signature of a surfer so bleached by the sun that he rushes nothing, but To the Sea substitutes the sunset strum-alongs of his earliest records for a sleek daytime sheen that might glimmer too brightly for hippies but it makes for a better overall pop record, the kind of album that suits Jack Johnson’s stature as surfer turned AAA crooner.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine - All Music Guide



To the Sea, the fifth studio album from surfer/songwriter Jack Johnson, features 13 new tracks, all of which are destined to become the official summer 2010 soundtrack for collegiate volleyball games, post-graduation car wash fundraisers, and spontaneous beach blanket siestas everywhere.

All Music Guide



Egal, was Jack Johnson anfasst, es wird ein Erfolg. Gerade 35 Jahre ist der auf Hawaii geborene Songwriter zum Zeitpunkt seines fünften Studioalbums To The Sea alt geworden, und die Vita dieses noch recht kurzen Lebens liest sich wie gemalt: Surfen auf Weltniveau, skandalfrei verheiratet und mehrfacher Dad, Labelbesitzer (Brushfire Records), aus dem Hobby Musik wurde ein Profession, Filmregisseur, die Platten erobern regelmäßig die Charts. Jack Johnson gilt als Gutmensch, ist aber kein unbekümmerter, tagträumender Sonnyboy. Der 1975 geborene Amerikaner gilt als ein extrem spendenfreudiger Umweltaktivist und die Texte seiner lässigen und leichtfüßigen Akustik-Songs beschränken sich bei weitem nicht auf Lagerfeuerromantik. Johnson geht auch auf To The Sea weder in die Tiefe, noch wird er philosophisch oder spezifisch, und komplexe Aussagen sind auch nicht sein Ding. Aber er spricht einen emotional mit universellen Aussagen an. Gepaart mit unkompliziertem, von Blues angehauchtem Folk-Pop erklärt das auch die Popularität des sympathischen Sängers, der bislang annähernd 20 Millionen Alben verkaufte. To The Sea wird die Zahl wohl noch erheblich erhöhen, denn unter Mithilfe von Garrett Dutton alias G. Love und Zach Gill entstand ein Werk mit Liedern, die einen wie eine sanft auflaufende Flut umspülen. Stromschnellen sucht man vergebens. Die sentimentalen Momente des Albums erklären sich dadurch, dass Johnsons Vater in der Zeit der Aufnahmen verstarb und der ihn für die Welt des maritimen Lebens begeisterte.
