Are you sick of the same old children’s music? Have you had enough of The Wiggles? (No offense guys!) My oldest used to listen to The Wiggles all the time. However with the twins, we just really never got into them. For one I was tired of listening to them over and over again and to be honest, we don’t listen to music as much as we should. So when I was given the opportunity to review Charlie Hope’s new CD “I’m Me!” I jumped on it! A little bit about Charlie Hope…
What a cool name. I mean, really. Charlie Hope.
I was luckily the recipient of a new CD from Charlie Hope, called I’m Me! A collection of songs for children. Oh, and it’s so sweet. This is a lovely, folky CD with a plenty of catchy, funny and poignant songs for kids…
Kiwi Magazine Online–I’m Me! Review
I have secret (well, not anymore) musical crushes on some bands who perform songs for children. Numbered among them are Recess Monkey, Elizabeth Mitchell, Lisa Loeb, Frances England and Milkshake. It is very hard to make my music crush list. Very. But, Charlie Hope, you had me at track one. Charlie is an astounding female vocalist who reminds me of the lead singer of The Sundays or even Frente with a touch of Three Non-Blondes. Even the up-tempo songs showcase her soothing, intoxicating voice. This is one of those CDs that parents will continue to play long after the children have gone to sleep. The original songs are instant classics…
Kiwi Magazine Online–World of Dreams Review
I am very happy that someone thought to send a Charlie Hope CD to me because she is a new favorite children’s music artist. There are some amazing children’s artists on the shelves lately, and Charlie Hope is in good company with some of the best lyricists and vocalists out there. Her soothing and intoxicating voice will even have mom and dad playing this CD even when the kids aren’t around…
Having exhausted every Jack Johnson album in existence and listening to his music over and over again every single time we’re in the car, I was elated to come across the kid and adult friendly, enchanting and refreshing music of Charlie Hope. Her ‘I’m Me!’ CD collection of songs for children is full of fun-loving, feel good music that had my extremely picky, (”NO! Not that one song, mommy!” is what she yells from the backseat if a tune comes on that she doesn’t want to hear) two year old smiling from ear to ear and nodding her head to Hope’s music in pure enjoyment declaring, “I LIKE this!”…

Not sure why, but Charlie Hope’s I’m Me! a collection of songs for children melts our heart. We find ourselves listening to it over and over again. Something about Hope’s beautiful voice, the folksy acoustic guitar and sweet lyrics have us reaching for the tissue and our wee ones, every time. Our favorite song, hands down, is “Train Song.” The strum of strings and Hope’s siren like train horn vocals are great. The kiddos love this collection, too. “Frog Song” is a real crowd pleaser, we love to change the lyrics of what the frogs eat and get belly laughs every time. And we usually can’t say this, but the cd packaging is green (hooray), made with 10% post-consumer recycled content and printed with vegetable inks. A cleeo & bea favorite.
Boston Children’s Music Gives “I’m Me!” 5 Stars!
When I first heard this CD, I thought, “Wow! Five stars!” Which of course gave me the idea to add star ratings to the site, but I’m still looking for a good widget.
In the meantime, just imagine FIVE stars next to Charlie’s CD!
Charlie’s voice is light and sweet. Her original songs are very catchy and easy to sing along to (always a plus for kids’ songs)…
When you hear my kids identifying a song from System of a Down, you get a pretty good idea of the the type of music I lean toward: Loud, fast and hard. But, that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the polar opposite of hand-banging, and I offer up my love of the Charlie Hope’s I’m Me! kids’ music CD as proof…
This delightful new album features a silky-voiced and up-beat young woman with enjoyable and comforting songs that are truly a delight to listen to! With songs ranging from the well known “Mr. Sun,” to great new ditty’s such as “I’m Me,” this album deserves a great deal of attention! All around it is an incredibly well made and produced album that is absolutely a new favorite on The Playground!
