'I came to this genre reluctantly, but after five years, I’m starting to develop some favorites, as well as a list of music that I must personally avoid at all costs.'
Like most moms out there, much of my day is spent driving — drop offs, pick-ups, weekend little gym classes, play dates, and lots of errands. And as a lifelong music lover, I’ve always got something playing. When it’s just me, that time is almost sacred. When it’s me and the kids, I try to mix in some of what they call my “grown-up mom” music. But as you might expect, I now spend a lot of time listening to.
This list is not exhaustive, and there’s a lot I haven’t listened to , but there is some music that has stood out to me while creating the soundtrack to drives with my kids — the good, the “ok,” and the irritating. When played enough times, all of this music can start to sink into your subconscious and send you up the wall. They can be so catchy and ear wormy that none of this music is all good or all bad all the time.
Some of my favorites: “Zero to Hero,” “Be Prepared,” “One Jump Ahead,” to name a few. I can’t listen to the “Moana” soundtrack without crying, but I can’t stand “Let It Go.” Unpopular opinion?There is a reason I’m starting with this one. To me, this is the standout queen of kids music.
But the track that slaps hardest for me is “Find a Way to Play Together.” This chorus is just so catchy it stays in my head all day. Also, I find Katerina Kitty Kat's lisp quite endearing when she says "gifts" during her verse.Raffi is a great option for parents who want a slight vintage folk vibe in their listening. He’s a legend and sings a range of classic kids songs and rhymes. While his music may be slightly more geared to younger kids, he can be enjoyed at any age.
But a Kidz Bop "Break My Soul"? I’m sorry, not for me. It's not that they necessarily did a bad job with the cover — it actually sounds pretty good — but it's just objectively kind of ridiculous. We don’t listen to Kidz Bop a lot; they mostly come up on Spotify shuffle. But when I do hear these songs, I mostly find myself wanting to just listen to the real song.
