My Thoughts:
Variety Show is a feel-good montage of upbeat story songs and engaging originals. The songs are filled with messages of self esteem, pursuing dreams, and celebrating family. Each delivered in a "variety" of pop rock styles that will have the whole family singing and dancing along.
After watching the following YouTube video of Debbie and Friends' song, Cinderella, I couldn't wait to get my hands on a review copy of this upcoming Nov. 19th CD. I was first introduced to Debbie and Friends and few years back when a friend with young children asked me to come to a local performance. Not knowing what to expect, I found myself tapping my toes, and then dancing around in the aisles with the kids to catchy songs sung by Debbie and Friends. It was fun to see kids of all ages getting into the music, and their smiles showed how much they loved this music. At the time I didn't have children of my own, so I didn't go ahead and pick up CD's to have on hand. But, once the girls arrived, my friend surprised me with a few of her kids' favorite Debbie and Friends CD's to listen to with the girls. Music is so powerful. It can lift your spirits when you are feeling down, or help speak words you want to say, but don't have the the strength or courage to do so. As a parent to two young girls, I am always on the lookout for inspirational music the girls can listen to, and that shares positive messages. This upcoming CD from Debbie and Friends does just that. All the songs on this CD are uplifting and upbeat. I love how familiar stories like Cinderella and Pinocchio are sung in a catchy pop rock style, that is sure to get you and your kids up and dancing and singing, like it did my girls and I. Each of the songs on this album share messages to help boost a child's self esteem. From letting them know they are beautiful, and to be true to the themselves, like in the "Cinderella" song, this CD will be great to listen to with the kids, and then talk to them afterwards about the positive self esteem message each shares. Even though my girls are too young to really benefit from these self esteem building songs, I will continue to listen to and sing them to the girls, and when the time comes when they head of to school and have to deal with peer pressure, self image issues, etc. this CD will definitely come in handy, as a reminder that they are unique and special. Hats off Debbie and Friends for yet another great kid-friendly CD full of music both parents and kids will enjoy singing and dancing along to. I will definitely be picking up a few extra copies to share with my nieces and nephews in their stockings, and have been talking about the self-esteem building songs with friends of school-age children. As a result, they are eagerly awaiting the release of this CD on Nov. 19th.
