Mary Kaye Music Box CD Review & Giveaway- Closed
Almost a month ago I received my first review opportunity when musician Mary Kaye offered to send me a copy of her newest CD “Music Box” before it was even in stores. I gladly accepted and once we received the CD I turned it on for the girls. Princess starting dancing to it right away and Sweet Pea bobbed along too.
We don’t own a lot of kids’ music because I don’t like listening to most of it. But this CD was different, it has an indie-folk sound but with kid’s lyrics. The words are all age appropriate with lots of repetition to help kids learn. Princess didn’t talk very much until she was 28 months so I’m hoping Sweet Pea picks up on language a lot faster. Kids need to hear words repeatedly before they understand them so repeating words through songs or books is a good way to develop their language skills. Each story on the CD is a mini story about things like bugs, hot chocolate fairies and robots.
Mary Kaye has two girls just like me. Unlike me though, she can actually sing. She’s been featured in magazines and had her music played on the radio across the world. She has worked as a professional actress, elementary teacher and drama camp director. She understands kids and the type of music they love.
I obviously like the CD but don’t just take my word for it, here’s two other reviews her last CD Spin your Web received
“Kaye’s voice is comparable at times to contemporary pop musicians such as Tori Amos or Sarah McLachlan, but I doubt you’d hear either of those ethereal divas singing songs about porcupines, pigs, skeletons, soup or blueberries…”
- Kevin Oliver, Palmetto Parent, South Carolina, June 2006“…I think I’d sum up Spin Your Web like this: imagine if you went to Lilith Fair, and they had a daycare stage. This is the kind of music that I’d expect to hear emanating from that stage…”
- Josh Chasin, A Penny’s Worth, August 2006
