All The Sounds (Lucy Kalantari & The Jazz Cats)
Lucy Kalantari
Is your kiddo really just an old soul at heart? This album takes all the swingin' beats of the jazz hot era and combines it with delightful, inspired tunes. Think Squirrel Nut Zippers for the younger set. Get it here on Amazon.
Building Blocks (Tim Kubart)
Tim Kubart
Tim Kubart's album has a total Postal Service vibe with catchy, upbeat tracks that were practically made for summer road trips. Get it here on Amazon.
Falu's Bazaar (Falu)
Falu
This album is a musical tour of South Asia, with both Falu and kids singing along throughout the album. Your kiddo won't be able to keep themselves from dancing to super poppy Bollywood-esque tunes like "Tararum Pumpum" and "Bazaar." Get it here on Amazon.
Giants Of Science (The Pop Ups)
The Pop Ups
This album takes trendy, space-y synth-pop tunes and gives it the coolest, nerdiest, science-y-est spin ever. With tracks like "Meteor Dinosaur" and "How Do We Know?" this album is basically an ode to all things STEM. Get it here on Amazon.
The Nation of Imagine (Frank & Deane)
Frank and Deane
Is "hyper" a genre? If so, this frenetic, high-energy kids' album is chock full of tunes like a musical sugar high. Songs like "I Blew a Kazoo at the Zoo" and "Ants in My Pants" pretty much sum up the entire feel of this album: fun like whoa. Snag your copy from Frank & Deane's website.
