Music Review & Contest: Darrelle London

Hi everyone,

Do you like singing and dancing to fun music? Well if you do, we have a great suggestion for you! Canadian singer/songwriter and mom, Darrelle London, has just released an album full of fun songs for kids that will have you singing and dancing in no time!

Let’s hear what Chirp Advisory Committee Member Goldie, 3, thought of Darrelle’s new album, PRIMARY.

“My favourite song is Primary. I like the cherries! I like the ‘extra sprinkles’ part in the  Ice Cream Song and the train part in Chugga, Chugga, Choo, Choo.”

Thanks, Goldie! And thank you Darrelle, for making such sweet music for kids.

Primary is available now and you can watch the video for the song “Chugga Choo Choo ” below.  For a chance to WIN a Primary CD of your own, comment on this post or email us at chirpblog@owlkids.com  and let us know what your favourite song of all time is!
