PreS-Gr 2—Songwriter Rachel Loshak and powerhouse performer/children's music producer Dean Jones merge their vast talents to create the magnificent duo the Moonlights. On this, their debut album, each of the 14 original songs blends beautiful musical arrangements with gentle lyrics that allow the gorgeous harmonies to shine. Many of the tunes are duets between Loshak and Jones, but there are standout exceptions such as a homage to Shakespeare, "Peaseblossom," which features Loshak and Zoe Harvey, and "Seasons," which combines Loshak's soprano vocals with the mellow sounds of the Okee Dokee Brothers.
VERDICT Themes such as the wonders of nature, happiness, and friendship are wrapped in soothing melodies that would be perfect for those quiet periods in the day, including nap time and bedtime.
