Album Notes & Community Reviews

Intentionally designed to appeal to children without sacrificing musical complexity, the Dedrick siblings applied their signature, jazz-inflected vocal harmonies to a suite of playful, innocent pop compositions. The intricately arranged, deeply optimistic tracks perfectly encapsulate the innocent sheen of the fading sunshine pop movement. It remains a uniquely sophisticated, enduring classic of intellectually engaging children's music.
