Charlie Hope’s debut CD is a charming collection of sweet songs for children and their parents; her folksy style is complemented by her skillful presentation.Hope’s voice is warm and clear; lyrics are easy to understand and fun to repeat. The a cappella songs ("Spring" and "Roll Over" as examples) are as sing-able as those with instrumental backup. Each song, original or traditional, is buoyed by her impressive use of voice and vocal sound effects. Hope’s "editorial" decisions and musical craftsmanship forge this fresh and alluring album.
