Description
Have you had it up to your ears with “Into The Unknown”? Or is your kid more of the “Shake it Off” type? Music can create memories, influence decisions, drive creativity, and can even become the lens through which you view the world around you. We thought someone who writes, performs, and produces awesome songs might possess unique insight into why certain music captivates our kids. Rapper (and dad of 4) Spose proved us right, and dropped some science. In Episode 5, Adam shares a story of a close call involving his kindergarten-aged daughter's tongue and an icy cold metal mailbox. The remainder of the episode is dedicated to the discussion of music: why is it that our children are drawn to certain songs, artists, or genres? Is there a formula to writing a song that will grab the attention of a young person? Adam and Marc gush way too much over their mutual admiration of Caspar Babypants before introducing guest Spose.From Spose's own studio, he and Adam discuss dadhood-related themes including:• Kids music being associated with a story/characters• The elements of a successful pop song• The music of Frozen and Frozen 2, and composers Robert and Kristen Lopez• The pros and cons of Alexa• The ability for our kids to "DJ with their voice"• Living in a world where there's instant access to any song• Requesting songs on the radio• Taylor Swift• Songwriting specifically for filmLinks:SposeThe Spose PodcastPinecone Pete Is Not ImpressedWeezer "Lost In The Woods"Bull Moose MusicRobert and Kristen LopezCaspar Babypants
