Music Monday – La Bella Stella

I was asked to check out La Bella Stella in preparation for Earth Day, I couldn’t say no. Recess Music is an award winning  company that wants to awaken  kids to the wonders of our planet through Earth-friendly music. La Bella Stella does just that.

La Bella Stella is Earth-friendly music. The music teaches kids about Earth and beyond….

I guess we’ve been listening to much Pink. We weren’t that fond of this CD. It has good music and  has cool songs by great musicians. The music is mellow and calm and very Earthy. Maybe too mellow to listen to in the car. I should have tried it at home closer to bed time….

Here is some of my notes while listening…

I love the Dark has a jazzy feel to it, think 1920’s. My immediate though was an oldies song.

Gravity has a a country rock fell and talks about the pros and cons of gravity.

Galaxy Song is a high energy song, probably the most energetic on the whole album. Reminded me of the Barnyard movie. The whistling part.

Some other titles:

Pluto – a funny, upbeat ballad in rhyming couplets about Pluto’s discovery and subsequent demotion.

Neptune Lullaby –  features a sumptuously symphonic string sound, replete with strong choral singing.

Great reasons to purchase this CD!!

I received a copy of this CD to review. Opinions are my own.
