On Songs for Parents and Kids Too! Seattleite Kelly Fernandi holds forth with a passel of beautifully harmonized bluesy folk and rocking acoustic tunes, all of which play right into the very full hands of moms and dads--particularly those riding the up-and-down rails of first-time parenthood. With variably simple handheld games embedded into the CD's jewel cases (great for tykes on car journeys, collect 'em all!) and a portion of proceeds benefiting children's charities, Songs for Parents provides even greater purpose than listening enjoyment. Inspired by the birth of Fernandi's first child--and the accompanying fears, joys, endless questions, and hypercharged intimacy as the daddy of a newly expanded family--Fernandi created an album that succeeds where lesser efforts forsake substance for sentiment. Rather than songs for children that parents will love, Fernandi plays the other way around, reminding parents to "check all your expectations (and preconceptions) at the door" and to "trade in all these blue chips for some blue jeans," while also appealing to kids along the way. Chock full of love from the rocker ("First Find Happiness"), tender-papa pop nugget ("Daddy, Please Come Home"), tearjerker ("44 Degrees of Gratitude"), soother of frayed nerves ("Slippery Slope of Sleep), Songs is a must-have for all expectant and growing families. --Paige La Grone --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

PRESS RELEASE: Groundbreaking CD Makes Music Industry History

On November 10, 1999, Born To Snap Music, Inc. released a ground-breaking debut CD called "Songs For Parents and kids too!" by Seattle singer-songwriter Kelly Fernandi. The project breaks ground with its unique audience and revolutionary interactive packaging.

"Songs For Parents and kids too!" marks a departure from the traditional genres of children's and family music by aiming at parents. These upbeat songs vividly paint the experiences of parenthood, from pregnancy through the toddler years, with a bright palette of melodic textures and lyrics that parents can intimately relate to. With the help of several talented Seattle musicians, including Kelly's singer-song writing sister Melanie, the music covers an impressive range of styles, including rock, reggae, folk, 40's jazz, barbershop, POP, new age, spy and blues. And while the versatile vocals, artful song writing and quality musicianship can satisfy the most sophisticated adult tastes, kids simply love the songs too.

Furthermore, this CD introduces a feature that has never been seen in the music industry. A series of interactive games has been built into the CD case itself. Located in the space along the left side of the clear jewel case, you will discover a game, complete with rules, an objective, and a distinct themed challenge. All in all, there are 12 versions available, each presenting a unique challenge, and each themed to a different aspect of parenthood, nursery rhymes or songs from the CD.

Overall, "Songs For Parents and kids too!" by Kelly Fernandi presents a wonderful experience of high-energy songs that are as infectious for the kids as they are meaningful for the parents - all in a challenging and fun, interactive package. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
