Listen to Listen. Love. Repeat
A pair of Los Angeles mothers, Jennifer Cook and Anne Montone make up Again Again, and together they present a strong vocal prowess and keen sense of rhythm that’s as sophisticated as their wordplay on this charming album.
After the hand clapping and soaring vocals of the self-explanatory “ABCs In Spanish And English”, “The Kids Are Here (First Day Of School)” follows with spirited guitar work and some rock’n’roll crunch on the colorful tune.
Further along, “Bubble Gum And Cheese” recruits strategic keys and horns on the playful ‘60s influenced album highlight, while “Be Well” strips the atmosphere bare with gorgeous vocals and an acoustic guitar on the timeless ballad.
Near the end, “Helping Out” brings in a gospel influence on the feel good, dance friendly tune, and “Camping Song (Lullaby)” exits the listen soft and sweet with graceful piano.
An extremely elegant and fun affair, not only is this worth picking up for the adventurous and skilled sounds, but the duo are giving a percentage of the proceeds to The Harmony Project, which provides year round music instruction and social support at no cost. Also, a 50 page lyric and coloring book is available with the package, too.
Travels well with: Diana Panton- Solstice/Summer; Lissa Schneckenburger- Thunder In My Arms
