Culture shot: feed the children and your music craving

Celebs and musicians leveraging their stardom to benefit causes close to their hearts is not a novel concept. Aids, autism, cancer – just about any fight the world is in has a high-profile supporter championing efforts and increasing awareness using their star status.

Belle and Sebastian may not be a U2-caliber spokesband, but they’ve joined generous forces with the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, The Kooks, the Flaming Lips, and Four Tet to create a rockin’ kid’s album to simultaneously feed your music craving and “Save the Children”.

Colours are Brighter is a collection of funky, groovy, downright jams intended for kiddos but also adored by the rest of the fam. We all love a refreshing break from sing songy nursery rhymes, and this album more than quenches that thirst.

Plus, all profits and artist royalties from the record are donated to the “Save the Children” charity.

Our happy, healthy littles get tunes like “Go Go Ninja Dinosaur” and “The Monkeys are Breaking Out of the Zoo”. And less fortunate kids around the world get relief from poverty, disease, and violence.

It's never too early to start teaching compassion and charity. And of course it's never to soon to rock!
