Greatest Hits
Kidz Bop, 2025
8/10
Narrowing down a catalog as large as the much adored children’s musician Laurie Berkner is no easy task, but here we’re treated to 28 fan favorites that span more than a quarter of a century.
The dense keys and scrappy drumming of “We Are Dinosaurs” opens with Berkner’s always playful voice, and it isn’t long until “Rocketship Run” uses warm acoustic guitar and group vocals amid cozy melodies.
Closer to the middle, “I Know A Chicken” is a frisky moment of call and response singing that’s got some soul, while “The Airplane Song” uses animated percussion and plenty of jangly fun.
Residing close to the end, “Clean It Up” makes great use of bright brass that’s as infectious as it is timeless, and “Moon Moon Moon” exits with an A cappella climate that’s harmonic and pretty.
Whether this is your first time with Berkner or you’ve been following along for a while, you’re going to find plenty of family friendly topics to enjoy and diverse music to sing-along to.
