Must Hear This Album

I love “Sing.” It’s sincere. It’s sweet. I’m listening to it as I type this. “Sing. Sing a song. Make it simple to last your whole life long...” What’s not to love about that? But I’m guessing my fondness has more to do with my being 2 or 3 when it was ubiquitous on the radio that spring, and it is a children’s song, after all, and Vh1 used it (affectionately, I think?) on a promo a few years ago and it was from Sesame Street, and, sigh…oh, what the hell...? I just love it.
“Sing” was written as a children’s tune, after all, and it was perfectly performed and arranged and the chorus? Adorable. Try to deny that. I DARE you. In fact, I think Karen and Richard should have "leaned-in" and recorded an ENTIRE album of children’s songs, or even created their own album of original songs geared towards children, a la Carole King’s widely acclaimed, Really Rosie.
