New Renee & Jeremy Album: I’m Loving It

It’s pretty sad when the new music release you’re most excited about falls under the children’s genre. Nevertheless, I’m happy to report that “A Little Love”, the latest Renee & Jeremy CD, kicks butt. For their third effort, the L.A. acoustic duo puts their gentle, loving spin on adult-friendly tunes like Supertramp’s “Give A Little Bit” and “The 59^th Street Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy)” by Simon and Garfunkel—two of our favorites. It’s even got some street cred: Somehow they managed to turn Red Hot Chili Pepper’s “Give It Away Now” into an appropriate rock anthem for a toddler. Be warned. Precocious ones may start asking “how come everybody want to kick it like a Kaiser?” Like the first album, this one also has a doping effect on my child. “It’s A Big World” played on repeat for the first two years of Henry’s life. If he’s in an antsy mood, I ask him if he wants to listen to “the heart” album and he instantly chills out. Thank you, R & J. You nailed it again.
A LITTLE LOVE, $14.00, CD Baby.
