This collection of children's music by a number of artists supports Bright Spaces, a program designed to create safe, supportive environments for playing, reading, and dreaming for homeless children. The album Bright Spaces gathers 16 fun songs by everyone from Arlo Guthrie to the Crawdaddys to Si Kahn. Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers start things off with the lively "Arthur Theme Song" from the popular PBS show, while Dream Project offers a gospel version of "Old MacDonald" that would make Aretha Franklin proud. Sweet Honey in the Rock bring their vibrant harmonies to "Still the Same Me," a song about the power to imagine the world without changing one's basic self. Dave Mallett's "Garden Song" is a real standout, filled with imagery of rain, sun, and earth, and praising the simple joys of planting and growing a garden. There are a couple of classics, including "This Land Is Your Land" and Raffi's closing track, "Goodnight Irene." The songs on Bright Spaces never come off as "grownup propaganda" but seem more concerned with helping kids to feel OK about who they are. The arrangements for the songs range from the a cappella of Sweet Honey in the Rock to the reggae of Raffi to the soft rock & roll of Jessica Harper's "This Happy House." This variety keeps the ears perked up. Bright Spaces manages the duel feat of being a good album that serves a good cause. Kids will like it, and so will their parents. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.

After more than a decade apart, the team of composer Frederick Loewe and lyricist Alan Jay Lerner, famous for such shows as Brigadoon, My Fair Lady, and Camelot, reunited for two final projects in the early 1970s. The stage adaptation of their 1958 movie musical Gigi, with five newly written songs, ran on Broadway from November 1973 to February 1974. But before that, they had come up with nine songs for Lerner's screenplay to a film version of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's children's story The Little Prince that finally reached movie theaters in December 1974. Like Lerner's previous film versions of his shows Paint Your Wagon (1969) and On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (1970), The Little Prince was released into the market at a time when movie audiences were not much interested in screen musicals. And while the film's anti-war message might have been more timely if it had appeared a few years earlier at the height of the Vietnam War, it probably still would have seemed heavy-handed. As it was, The Little Prince got mediocre reviews and did mediocre business. The soundtrack remains a minor addition to the Lerner/Loewe catalog with distinct echoes of their earlier work. "I Need Air," especially in its early section, sounds like something ...

There is a lot of teen pop out there, much of which is so produced and tweaked that voices and choruses become nearly indistinguishable from one another, while keyboards blend into drum machines blend into prepubescent voices blend into an unrecognizable jumble of major chords and melodies. While the debut album from T-Squad, the group of four teenagers -- two boys and two girls -- organized by Vitamin C (who lends her hit, "Graduation [Friends Forever]" to the band), certainly doesn't introduce any new ideas into music, it has the advantage of a few things that allow it to stand out from the unwieldy pile of other tween-friendly hits: songwriters who know what they're doing, producers who know how to follow current radio trends, and kids who have enough actual talent -- or least personality -- to capture listeners' attention, rapping and singing and dancing themselves ...
