Dynamic children’s music duo Andrew & Polly<\/strong> are releasing their fifth album, “Go for the Moon” later this month (September 27th). I received an advance copy to review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I first heard Andrew & Polly<\/strong> at an event at Children’s<\/a> Book World<\/a><\/strong> several years ago. I enjoyed their music and was happy to see them at other events around Los Angeles. Local to the Westside (Venice\/Santa Monica) area of L.A., Andrew & Polly<\/strong> didn’t have to travel far to obtain sounds of the Pacific Ocean, included in this latest album. Other fun sounds include: a choir, a remixed JFK speech, and a musical saw. I was pleased to hear the familiar voice of one of my other favorite children’s music artist, Mista<\/a> Cookie Jar<\/a><\/strong>, collaborate in the song “Chair School”. Other album collaborators include: GRAMMY winner Lucy Kalantari,<\/strong> and Mike Phirman<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CD starts off with their version of the hit Smash Mouth<\/strong> tune, “All Star”, which my 6-year old also recognized. I giggled at the all too familiar feeling from the song “Mom’s Name”, where parents have a difficult time remembering the actual names of one another. “Chair School” is a hilarious song with a fun but important lesson for young children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album is definitely creative, with an eclectic mix of songs, sounds, and vocals. If you’re a fan of Andrew & Polly<\/strong>, you’re sure to enjoy this CD. If you haven’t heard of them before, listen to their album Ear Snacks: Songs from the Podcast<\/strong><\/em> first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go for the Moon<\/em><\/strong> will be available at CDBaby, www.AndrewandPolly.com<\/strong><\/a>, and at Andrew & Polly’s<\/strong> live shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
