Super Kids - Digital Album

SUPER KIDS REVIEW

Super Kids is the fourth recording by Canadian children's music/performer/songwriter and singer Marnie Grey. Her touring group of Jon Roper on guitar, Boris Favre on keyboards, and drummer Eduardo Ottoni backs her once again. This recording gathers fifteen highly energized songs that will appeal to younger children, while still entertaining their parents. Grey employs dramatic introductions to each song, giving the illusion that she is speaking directly to them. Animal songs and earth-centered songs abound, including the informative and horror movie organ backed "I Am a Bat," the silly hoe-down of "Poor Little Bug," the rocking ecology anthem "Goin' Green," and the punk-tinged "H2O on the Go." Grey possesses a strong and pleasant voice that can handle a shuffle number such as the funky "Camping Jive," which celebrates the joys of being outdoors. She can also be melodic and rhythmic as demonstrated by the Reggae infused song "Mimic Me". The album ends with a Grey penned short story, from which the album gets its title, which celebrates the natural abilities and gifts of a child who once longed for super powers. Overall, both children and parents will find much entertainment value in the album's 15 tracks. The lyrics and other activities are available on the Music with Marnie website.

I am not a 4-year-old. I do not profess to know what it is about children’s entertainment that makes one performer more attractive than another. I do not pretend to know why my kids love Max and Ruby when it makes me want to rip my eyeballs out.

What I do know is, given my son’s desire to listen to “Kids music! Kids music!” over and over in the car, finding a children’s performer that keeps us both entertained is like striking gold.

Music with Marnie strikes gold

Music With Marnie’s latest CD SuperKids is just that–musical gold. My son loves it and will listen to it for even the longest car trips, which gives us a very welcome break from “Old McDonald” and “The Wheels on the Bus!”

And it’s catchy. Some tunes are familiar favourites with new lyrics, some are originals with jazzy or rock styles. The music itself appeals to parents and kids alike, and the lyrics are ideal for kids–easy to remember, easy to sing.

Marnie knows her stuff. She has a strong background in Early Childhood Education, which might explain how she’s managed to create music that kids will go nuts for while still learning about animals, sign language, their bodies and more. Sneaky, Marnie. Very sneaky.

– (Article: Music with Marnie - Super Kids CD Review)

…. My latest musical review was the fabulous children’s CD Super Kids from Music with Marnie. Marnie Grey, the talent behind the CD, has a gift for creating high-energy and fun-filled songs that kids are sure to love, but she doesn’t just stop there! With an entourage of fun characters including a mischievous monkey and an oversized mosquito, she has created engaging music videos and an interactive website that are sure to delight children of all ages.

…When I put on the CD, Zackary and Benjamin had no idea what to expect but within the first few seconds of the first song on the CD, they were both delightedly dancing away! Super Kids really encourages interaction and the boys both did lots of it throughout the various songs….

…The boys and I both loved the entire CD. … The overall trend of the CD is one of celebrating just how super being a child really is and I love the positivity and the fun-loving energy Marnie brings to the songs. And it was clear that my boys loved the CD as much as I did; for weeks afterwards it was the only CD they wanted to hear! Super Kids is an addictively fun CD and a great choice for any family with kids that love to move. Check it out for yourself and dance along with your kids to the fun and fresh tunes of Music with Marnie!

Marnie’s love of music, children and silliness is contagious. With a background in early childhood education, she strives to involve children in her music through songs that promote dancing and singing. Her fourth CD, entitled “Super Kids” makes for great active indoor play on any gloomy day. It’s full of catchy lyrics, modern rhythms and lots of learning opportunities, too (including sign language).

From My website: The Kid Experience.ca

Music is a huge part of our home and between Janey and I we have a pretty eclectic selection of music in our iTunes library. Throw a couple of kids into the mix and it’s safe to say we’ve got the musical bases covered.

Music with Marnie is the latest addition to our kids music collection (although Marnie herself has been rocking the munchkins for more than 10 years). Her latest CD Super Kids has fun, energetic and educational songs that will get your preschoolers grooving along to the beats right from the first track, “Cut A Rug”.

The songs themselves run a gamut of styles including kid versions of rock/pop, folk, disco, country and even a little reggae action. The catchy tunes make it easy for kids (and don’t worry, parents also ) to sing along with the lyrics in no time!

We haven’t seen Marnie live but judging from the reviews and videos that we’ve seen, it looks like her live show would be a great kidexperience for your toddlers and preschoolers!

Music with Marnie’s Super Kids CD has become a great addition to our after-dinner-dance-party where Emma can burn off her dinner and Nikita can laugh and screech along with her big sister’s stylin’ dance moves.
