A bit of a change in focus for Jeremy Redmore. 

While most will know him from the rock band Midnight Youth, Redmore is going through a bit of a creative evolution, turning his attention to children’s music. 

But it’s not the sugar-rush pop you might be expecting, the music instead following a —surprisingly emotional— narrative. 

Redmore told Jack Tame it all started when he was writing a children’s book about the superpowers that can be found in singing – the way you can find identity and energy through song. 

“That was a book about singing, so I had to have a song,” he said. 

“I did the song, and I really enjoyed releasing kid’s music.” 

It was at that point he started wondering anyone else felt this way about the power of singing, and so he started researching. 

“Turns out there’s all this amazing stuff that happens when kids sing and adults sing as well, but especially when people sing in groups.” 

“So I had the opportunity to record an album of songs, and I thought, let's make this really intentional.”
