‘Summer Days’ – the new album from the famous New Zealand songwriter and children’s performer Music with Michal (Michal Bush) is scheduled for December 10.
This release follows on from her successful debut album “Can You Make Music?” Of last year, which saw her win “Best Children’s Song” at the 2021 New Zealand Music Awards for “Brave.”
Summer Days features 13 original songs and was produced by The Response – a Christchurch-based production duo Michal also worked with on their previous award-winning music.
The album is made “with the whole family in mind” and celebrates “those special moments in this life that remind you that the world is beautiful – like a perfect summer day!” “
“I wanted to create an album that feels like summer – carefree, warm and full of wonder, love and laughter! Bush says
“Children have an incredible ability to make even the smallest moment magical – whether it’s playing hide and seek, dancing with wild abandon, chatting with the neighbor over the fence or laughing at the moon during the day – when we allow ourselves to be present in these times with our children – we remember that life can be just wonderful.
The album, produced with help from NZ on Air, features fellow New Zealand children’s artists Loopy Tunes Preschool Music and Levity Beet, as well as Australian band Tiptoe Giant ‘.
It also features Michal’s three daughters – Harper (9), Sadie (6) and Clementine (4) who provide the backing vocals and inspiration for the music.
“My daughters are really a part of Music with Michal – from the songwriting process to the recording to the millionth listen in the car during the mixing process,” says Bush.
“I know I have a good song in my hands if I catch my children singing it for themselves”
“Summer Days” will be available on all streaming platforms from December 10th.
