Don't know about you but I am fed up of watered down adult music being pushed at our kids and turning them all into pop tarts! Call me an old fogey but I can remember the days of kids music made FOR KIDS! Tony Blackburn and Arnold on weekend mornings with "Right Said Fred", "The Runaway Train" and "Puff the Magic Dragon" (I am all misty eyed as we speak) - proper children's music.
I have been on a mission to ensure my own kids get some of my old favourites and they do love CDs like "Childrens Choice" even though the recordings are not really CD quality. They quite often fire up this CD on a weekend morning to raise us from our bed.
"What a shame " I thought "that they don't make 'em like this any more". But I was wrong. "Colours Are Brighter" is a great CD with a series of new songs for kids by mainstream (more or less) artists. From the bouncy "Ninja Dinosaur" (who apparently is on a mission to bring his boogie beat to the Universe) and "Jackie Jackson" to the Kraftwerk-esque "Put it away" they are all great tunes although a couple may need to grow on you.
Now a firm favourite with my children.
