Despite being raised on a healthy diet of Raffi, I’m not exactly a big fan of repetitive kids music – especially in the car! So when I stumbled across Soulville by Little Monster Records I knew I had found a winner. This album is full of funky hits like ABC, Dancing In The Street, Lean on Me, and How Sweet It Is (to be loved by you) and features current R&B artists RedRay Frazier, Tabitha Fair, and Chocolate Genius – making it a hit with both kids and husbands alike!
The disk includes a cool board book which includes an introduction to soul music, as well as notes about the songs and the original artists (like the Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye and Bill Withers). The nice thing about this CD is that it reaches a wide audience of kids – my six year old nephew loves singing along with the kids in the songs and my four month old daughter just loves the rhythms.
Soulville is available from the Little Monster store for $12.98 US or as a download from the iTunes store for $10.98 and I guarantee it will quickly become a family favourite!

Emily is very proud to be one of the Spilt Milk Moms ‘founding mothers’ as well as being Mama to “Little Miss” (who was born in August 2009) and Wifelet to her Husbando. She spent seven years living in London which helped her to develop a keen eye for amazing products from around the world. As an actress and producer, Emily ensured her place in hell with over 3 years in children’s advertising (her job was “to create want where there is no need!”) but looks to undo the damage by finding the best things around for mamas and little ones. Emily is always ready with fresh baking, a silly song, or a glass of chardonnay and is renowned for always being overdressed and having a killer collection of heels that she’s not afraid to wear (even whilst babywearing!). You can also find her on her personal blog Aprons & Heels ~ emily (at) SpiltMilkMoms (dot) com |
