Welcome to day four of music week. Today I have the pleasure of introducing the funkadelic folks from Mista Cookie Jar and the Chocolate Chips. The first time I laid eyes on C J Pizarro {aka Mista Cookie Jar}, I had this immediate feeling of fondness. I think it’s partly due to his eccentric charm and partly because his psychedelic style reminds me of deee-lite’s album World Clique. Rad!
Mista Cookie Jar’s debut album is called The Love Bubble and it features a collection of songs that fuse styles from hip hop to synth-pop, with a hint of reggae on the side. According to Mista Cookie Jar “Each song is a bubble full of heart – musically and lyrically rooted in wonder and wisdom so as to connect to all bubbles, respecting all cultures, past, present and future”… an inspiring and uplifting concept.
I must say that I’ve become a little bit addicted to title track ‘The Love Bubble’ which is just as enjoyable for adults as it is for kidlets. Other cool tracks on the album that Mums and Dads will love include ‘Magic World’ and ‘Supertalents’. As far as the little people review goes, favourites include ‘Joey the Dogg’ and ‘Problemz’ which are both super fun for busting out some road trip sing-a-longs or Friday afternoon dance-a-thons. Take a listen on the Mista Cookie Jar website.
Congratulations to our winners… Angylene W., Kristie C., and Bobbie S.
