Everybody Loves the Sunshine

Released

An album aptly named with not a single grey moment on it, every track either bursting with energy and positivity or blissfully simmering like a hot summers day, Roy Ayer’s Everybody Loves The Sunshine delivers crisp, clean jazz-funk and sultry soul, resplendent with shiny synths alongside the funky bass and brass. Released in 1976 it still sounds surprisingly fresh, perhaps the result of the synth elements. Ayers has an unerring ear for accessible hooks and Everybody… is funky, playful and lush in equal parts.
