Come To Me, the new one from one of his many current musical concerns, California, first saw the light of day in 1980, but here, through deft overdubs and smart additional music, he gently re-polishes the song and reimagines it for a modern audience.
Come To Me is fun. It is filled with pop buoyancy and rock smarts, a hint of island vibes and an unabashed declaration of love runs through the heart of the song.

Love, laugh, live…and have this as your soundtrack as you do.
