Brooke’s 4th birthday card that was shown on Sprout TV.

For those with little kids, we have seen Tim bust dance moves with the First Lady on Sprout Channel’s “Sunny Side Up Show;” ace an audition (with magical chicken Chica) for “America’s Got Talent;” and charmed the world as “Tambourine Guy” as part of Postmodern Jukebox on YouTube. Now, Tim Kubart will spread even more joy and kindness as he releases his second family album, Home. The album, with cover art by noted animator/illustrator Julia Pott, is available September 25th from retailers everywhere.

Kubart created these 14 mostly original songs in partnership with songwriter Matt Puckett (Mother Falcon) and long-time producer Dominic Fallacaro. Kubart and Puckett weave their own childhood memories through textured pop tunes with lyrics that bridge the gap between innocence and wisdom in a way for listeners of all ages to appreciate and understand.  The artist’s friendly and youthful voice and the striking pop arrangements draw listeners in from first track, “Last Turn Home.”  “We aim to meet kids where they are right now, both thematically and sonically,” notes Kubart. “The lyrics really reflect what I’ve learned performing live with thousands of children, and with my work on Sprout.”

Home reflects Kubart’s uncanny ability to climb inside a child’s mind. The dance-pop “Breakfast Club” is the perfect wake-up song, and it features Sprout colleague and friend Carly Ciarrocchi. For “Sunday Crafternoon,” Drue Davis (Postmodern Jukebox) joins Tim for a soaring and inspiring song celebrating DIY creativity. Indie family artist Laurie Berkner guest stars on the ballad about togetherness: “Better.” Growing families will relate to the themes of “Biggest Brother,” “Dancing in the Kitchen,” and “Backyard Swinging.” A rare quiet moment in the album comes with a musical arrangement of A.A. Milne’s pensive “Halfway Down.”

My Kiddos Reaction:  Of course, my girls, LOVE Tim, so they were super excited to hear and dance to this album.  He has a beautiful clear voice perfect for kindie music and this album is definitely a great mixture of pop and indie.  My oldest, Brooke, was obsessed with the very first song, “Last Turn Home”.  She’s at that age where she really gets into ‘feeling’ the music.  This song talks about going back to your home after being away and it really touched her.  The girls also thought it was cool that Carly from the “Chica Show” was on the song “Breakfast Club”.  That was a fun surprise.  Probably the funkiest song that both girls were dancing to was “Backyard Swinging” all about swinging on the swing sets all by yourself singing at the top of your lungs.  My personal favorite song is “Better”.  It’s no secret I am a huge Laurie Berkner fan and their duets are magical.  Plus, I love the lyrics, ‘you know its better when we’re together’.  I mean, come on, that is just adorable!  Two thumbs (and wings *wink wink CHICA*) up!
