I learned about The Laurie Berkner Band<\/strong><\/a> less than three years ago when\u00a0my friend gifted my daughter<\/a> with\u00a0The Best Of The Laurie Berkner Band<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0CD. We’ve been hooked on her music ever since. Laurie Berkner’s music is categorized as “Kindie Rock” – music that appeals to adults and children with family-friendly lyrics. Her latest album,\u00a0\u00a0Superhero<\/em><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0does not disappoint. Like a superhero, it transcends above and beyond the norm.\u00a0Superhero<\/em><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/i>is Laurie’s first album in eight years<\/span><\/span> to be comprised entirely of brand new, original songs.\u00a0Superhero<\/em><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0features special guests in the eclectic mix of songs. One of my favorite songs is the duet “My Marisol” with Ziggy Marley<\/a><\/strong>, which is about a tall girl and short guy who find a happiness by\u00a0helping each\u00a0out.<\/p>\n “Superhero” is a family affair, with Laurie Berkner’s daughter singing on the track\u00a0Elephant In There.\u00a0<\/em>It is a\u00a0story-song that offers a cure for imaginary internal elephant, which in itself is a superhero feat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The album begins and ends on upbeat, positive notes. It starts with the song\u00a0Superhero<\/em>, which helps everyone believe in themselves; and ends with\u00a0Yes<\/em>, which confirms the belief with a statement.<\/p>\n There are 23 tracks on the album.\u00a0Here are some\u00a0of our favorites:<\/strong><\/p>\n This song helps kids understand how you can\u00a0learn how to anything by trying and practicing<\/p>\n This is an upbeat song with pizazz that will help kids to take pride and show off their style, singing about things they learn.<\/p>\n Giving is better than receiving, and it feels great to do it.<\/p>\n Kids love bubbles. Bubbles in the bathtub are even better. Play this song to preempt bubble bath-time, and you won’t have to say a word to get your kid to the tub.<\/p>\n It doesn’t rain much in L.A., but when it does, my kid loves it. I gave my daughter an umbrella for Christmas last year, and it’s one of her favorite things. She can’t wait for it to rain so she can use it. My daughter loves singing this song, hoping it will rain!<\/p>\n This is a cute, fun song to sing to, or with, your little one. It’s very sweet will help you bond.<\/p>\n I admit, pajama time is my favorite time of the day and wish it could be all day!<\/p>\n This is a nicely composed, sweet sounding song featuring Kira Willey’s violin and vocals. It’s one of the tracks on the album that appeals more to adults.<\/p>\n I was\u00a0pleasantly surprised and mildly amused to hear this remix of\u00a0We Are The Dinosaurs<\/em>. My daughter prefers the original version, but I think when she gets older, she will appreciate this one!<\/p>\n Release date:\u00a0 <\/span><\/i><\/b>September 23, 2016<\/span><\/p>\n For ages 1 \u2013 7<\/span><\/p>\n Label:\u00a0 <\/span>Two Tomatoes Records; distributed by Razor & Tie<\/span><\/p>\n Run time: 59 minutes<\/span><\/p>\nBicycle<\/em><\/h3>\n
