Triple Rainbow - You Are Magic

Tender Loving Empire Records - 2021 Through the 15 songs on their debut album You Are Magic, the duo of July Mees (9) and her dad Jared Mees explore both the silly and sensitive sides of childhood through 15 lighthearted, upbeat and layered songs. Lyrically, You Are Magic explores both the lighthearted yet layered world of a child’s heart and imagination, combining clever rhyming lyrics, storytelling and lots of descriptive concrete imagery. Triple Rainbow has lots of fun on the ode to naughty cats “Bad Kitty,” the gooey yet epic opus “Slime,” the can’t-stop-won’t-stop energy of “Dance Party” and the wild road-trip story “The Lake”. And yet Triple Rainbow isn’t afraid to dig deeper into issues not normally explored in kids music. The title track is a sing along anthem about the power of your imagination: “You are magic and you can be whatever you want to be / you’re magic and your brain’s much better than an ipad or a TV / so just close your eyes / feel it growing inside… you’re magic” The earnest yet silly singalong “Exactly Perfect” encourages us to be confident and happy with our bodies, even when we feel strange or different. The driving and danceable “Facts” explores the complex nature of truth and knowledge from a kids perspective. The rock and roll barn burner “Fam Jam” widens the circle of who we can think about as our family, “Under the Water” takes a groovy acoustic adventure with a mermaid and the importance of preserving our oceans. “Beautiful All” is a sweet and simple harmonic laden lullaby that paints a simple picture of all phases and stages of life as equally beautiful.
