Indie Songs for Kids
After listening to Super Strong God (Hillsongs for kids) and Barney (got this on iTunes) on hyper mode, I was really getting tired of kids songs. I mean I love the songs but listening to it almost everyday can be really too much.
SOOOOOOOO I went around to look for less upbeat songs for children and lo and behold I found my favorite genre – FOLK, bit indish. LOVELY! I like Jazz but not that much either. I sourced 3 different singers, very similar styles singing happy happy tunes of childhood – Frances England, Lisa Loeb (I used to like her so much!) and Elizabeth Mitchell. So I bought 3 cds from itunes store – Fascinating Creatures by Frances England, Catch the Moon by Lisa Loeb and You are my Sunshine by Elizabeth Mitchell. They only cost about US$9.99 each.
Best of all? Sophie LOVES IT! What a breath of fresh air! Now my next quest is to find Christian songs for kids in the same genre. Tall order tho. If you know any, pls pls let me know…

Hi cousins!
Might want to give a CD called “Sing Over Me: Worship Songs and Lullabies” a try. I know it says lullabies but they are basically songs that are done in very peaceful, relaxing styles. We have it at my house and we don’t have any babies! The songs are recorded by various female Christian singers.

Let me know if you try it and like it!

You know, I love Cedarmont’s contemporary worship – just bought 2 CDs, they have stuff by Paul Baloche, Chris tomlinson … like Indescribable, Holy is the Lord, etc. AWESOME!! It’s all the songs I like to sing myself and they don’t sound too irrittingly high-pitched and kiddy. In fact, I sometimes prefer their version to the original artiste’s. I was going to blog on this, cos it’s such a good find. Hey BTW did you borrow some Cedarmont DVDs from me last time? I think I have 2 missing …
