FOR YOUR GRAMMY®️ CONSIDERATION

1. HEY LITTLE BUNNY! Meet me, Lady B (aka Ms. Alex) and affirm that you can be yourself at Lavender Blues! Starting your life's journey with Lavender Blues helps prepare littles for school and a successful life!
2. WHAT'S THE FEELING? An emotional check-in song offering listeners to share whether they feel ready, excited, happy, rambunctious. We are allowed to feel what ever we feel! It also gets our Bunnies moving their bodies
3. ARRIBA MEANS UP "Arriba Means Up" is a fan favorite! Borrowed from friend and GRAMMY winning artist, Dan Zanes and adapted to my own style. Listen for his voice on the track!
4. ABCs WITH LADY B, is how we learn the alphabet at Lavender Blues! As a Nanny I always taught my little ones to read by teaching them the sounds before the letter names. It's proven to assist in the efficiency of learning to read. I turned it into a song long ago and am excited that I had a Bunny able to join me on this track proving to the grown ups that it's not that tricky.. a 3 year old can do it! Turning it into a REMIX was a challenge but with the help of my producer Trevor we managed to change the cadence of the original ABC song.
5. ALMOND MILK & CAKE POPS, my spin on the classic "Rain Drops" with Brooklyn-infused lyrics. For the past year or so it has been my absolute most favorite song to sing in class with a group of singers!! I had to make it a REMIX for the album for the sheer fun of it.
6. BUNNIES ON A RUG, not only is this tune a total bop, but it tackles racism too by offering a new cadence as well as changing the problematic lyrics in on the racist nursery rhyme, "5 LITTLE MONKEYS".
7.THE KREYÒL SONG, I sampled a Kompa beat to honor my ancestors. Get up, sing and dance repeats over and over in the language of my father (Haitian Creole)
8. AFFIRMATIONS INTERLUDE, I began a daily practice of affirmations 2 years ago and believe it has changed my life for the better. Children repeat what they hear so I decided to put some affirmations on the album for our Bunnies to repeat.
9. POSITIVITY FLOW, When this song is sung in class it has the power to transform the energy of the room. I want to bring that same feeling of going from grrr to ahhhh to folks beyond the classroom!
Lavender Blues, the REMIXES too
