Catch Michael's appearance on Lopez Tonight with George Lopez on Tuesday, September 21st - the same day he releases his new album The Sound Of Sunshine! Don't forget to tune in at 11pm EST on TBS.
The Sound of Sunshine is my attempt to bottle the feeling of hope, optimism, and positivity that you get when you first see the sun in the morning, or watch it going down at the end of the day. I wrote the album as I was coming back from a near fatal ruptured appendix. Everything in my life at that time took on a new significance. I was grateful for even the smallest things, like a smile, or seeing my friends and family.
