I hate to admit this. In fact, I’ve tried thinking of a way to just say my son loved the new Backyardigans music album, Born to Play, but I can’t come up with the right words. So, I’ll just come out and say it. Yes, I was rocking out in my mini-van to their new cd and loving every minute of it. Every single minute!
My 5 year old has out grown The Backyardigans TV show on Nickelodeon, but there was a stretch there where all we heard was their theme song. He was excited to play the music in his own cd player, and listen to it while playing in his room. He was entertained to say the least and it didn’t take very many rounds to learn the words.
The album features 22 songs and covers everything from jazz to hip-hop and zydeco to arena rock. At least they break free from the normal kid’s music, which after a few of the same songs you’re ready to scream.
What you don’t know about this album is that they feature some super cool artists. Alicia Keys brings her R&B vocals on “Almost Everything is Boinga,” which is my favorite on the album. Other artists include Cyndi Lauper who brings a little jazz to the table, and Adam Pascal who engages us with rock-opera.
No matter how you spin it, the music is fun spirited, enjoyable for all ages and simply makes you smile. Born to Play will be released on January 22, 2008 and should be available online and in retail stores everywhere. I also give Nickelodeon and Sony BMG props for using eco-friendly recycled sleeve and avoiding all the wasteful plastic casing.
You don’t have to take our word for it, you can WIN A COPY of your own. Just leave a comment by Saturday, January 19th at midnight (EST) and we’ll have one sent your way!

One of the things about the Backyardigans that I appreciate when compared to the other kids shows out there is the variety in musical styles it offers. Some episodes, all songs are of one genre (I’m thinking of all the old-school country western stuff from a cowboy episode, specifically) and others there’s a mix. But it’s never boring and repetitive, which is something ALL parents can enjoy.
Looking forward to this CD - I love watching this show with my son (he is almost three) and we have listened to the first two Backyardigans CDs an endless number of times!
My neice loves the Backyardigans. This would be great for her to sing to in the car.
