LA LA LA

My new children's album, "LA LA LA", is now available on iTunes and Amazon -- as well as on my new and improved online store!

If you buy the physical CD (available from my store), there is a lyric coloring book inside!  All artwork is done by my super amazingly talented friend Polkaros!

On the first page of the coloring booklet, I've written a kind of "mission statement" of what I intended for this album that I'd like to share with you:

I've always wanted to make an album for children because kids are some of my favorite human beings on earth.  After hearing how so many kids of friends as well as strangers were drawn to my debut EP and album, especially to my song "Dream", I hoped that one day I could make an album that didn't pander to kids, but rather could invite them in on a more soulful level.  I truly believe that "kids' music" doesn't have to "talk down" to them in order to be understood.  Over the years, I'd been accumulating songs for this project, and in the end I decided to select the songs that had the best energy, the most positive messages, and touched on introspective emotions that I know, from first hand experience, many children feel in some way or another.  This album is not trying to be fancy or clever.  It's simply intended to be an album for kids to hop and bop along with, fall asleep to, and if I'm really lucky, inspire them to ponder and dream.  

The album has won a Family's Choice Award, as well as a National Parenting Product Award!  

And here are super sweet reviews by the amazing mom blogs, Momma's Bacon, and The Simple Moms!

I hope you all get a chance to hear the album!  It's for kids and adults alike.

LA LA LA + 2 Shows !

Hello friends!

 

It's been too long.  A lot has happened.  I had a baby.  I'm a crazy, disheveled mom now, with a new album I'd love to share with you.   And this one is super special because.... it's a children's album!  But not your typical "wheels on the bus" children's album.  These are songs I wrote, in my normal, trying-to-be-adult-like, "Priscilla Ahn" style, but with the intention of singing these messages to children.  It's still very much meant for grown ups, but also (hopefully) appeals to kids and babies! I recorded these songs in my used-to-be studio, which is now my son's nursery. (my office has exploded into a new room that needs major organizing!).  I recorded these songs while I was pregnant.  Some songs induced more baby kicking than others.  When writing and recording the album, I pictured my tiny, soon-to-be son, I pictured children around the world, and I pictured you.

  

 

This has truly been a labor of love, and a dream come true to make.  I didn't have the heart (or wherewithal) to try and raise money to make this album.  I just hope that people will buy it for themselves, and if they like it, tell their friends to buy it.  Plus!  If you're feeling super retro and decide to purchase the actual disc, there's an adorable mini lyric coloring book inside!!! 

 

The release date is October 28th!
