Wonder FULL
Music Playground, 2025
9/10
The veteran artist and pioneer in the area of children’s music, Dana Cohenour, pens an album where each song poses a question that triggers the curiosity of youngsters.
The bright spirit of “WHY WHAT WHERE WHO” starts with Dana’s uplifting voice surrounded by backing vocals, warm guitar and playful drums, and “WHICH (One Will I Choose)” follows with a rock focused bout that uses thumping drums and thick guitar that’s contagious.
In the middle is where “WHAT (Can We Do)” lands and it emits a dance floor ready mood that’s beat driven, while the title track enlists cozy piano and well timed backing vocals which invites singing-along.
Landing close to the end, “WHERE (Can It Be)” benefits from mandolin and fiddle via the frisky and contagious album highlight, and “ANSWERS (Will Come)” exits with a lush and dreamy moment thanks to the lively bass and colorful keys that complement Dana’s elegant pipes.
This is Dana’s 8th album, and it celebrates the fertile minds of children via the diverse and really fun songs that are humorous, heartfelt and meaningful.
