It’s summer, so you might guess that Sunshine Collective should have something good for your ears. And yeah, it’s true, their first album, Wanna Play?, is all you need for a sunny day. Singer-songwriter Stephanie Richards and composer-songwriter-producer Brian Arbuckle part the clouds with tunes like “You Know” and “LA (Beautiful Day.” It’s a pretty simple album, with a simple sound, but sometimes that’s all you need to put a smile on your face. If that’s what Richards and Arbuckle were going for, then they’ve succeeded admirably.
