Super Stolie’s Childrens CD
“When I Grow Up”
After more than a decade performing music professionally, Chicago songwriter, Stolie has directed her wit to a new demographic, and under a new moniker; Super Stolie celebrates the humility and hilarity of life in songs for KIDS!
When I Grow Up, her fourth solo album, but first collection of children’s songs, features 11 original ditties like "Two Minutes" about how long to brush your teeth and "Kitties and Dogs," a rocker encouraging the adoption of pets so that our dreams of one day becoming veterinarians can be fulfilled. You'll also hear “The Unicorn,” written by Shel Silverstein and “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” the all-vocal song written by Bobby McFerrin and a #1 single from the late 1980’s.
Super Stolie loves adding twists to popular traditional songs; perhaps Old MacDonald also had a jungle? This silly wit found its way into Super Stolie’s own clever material -- the songs talk about exploring Chicago’s many attractions, rapping your name, traveling on an escalator, describing what you see in the sky, peanut butter preferences, and just generally being happy about life!
For the album, Super Stolie performs on guitar, piano, bass, djembe, harmonica, tambourine, and of course singing! But listen closely, and you might also hear her clapping her hands, walking in high heel shoes and making animal noises! Drums, strings, and everything else were realized with the help of Apple’s Garageband, the program with which Super Stolie recorded her album in her Chicago home.
