STRAWBERRY WIND ARRIVES VIA AMAZON MUSIC ON FRIDAY, APRIL 27

 

 "What makes Strawberry Wind different is that it approaches children's music in a way that trusts kids to be more mature than we give them credit for, and lets adults be more whimsical than usually permitted...

Strawberry Wind doesn't offer up a world that's drenched in sugarplums and safe from harm:

instead, it's full of both life's charms and its challenges."

-Rolling Stone

"I feel like over the past few years, the moon has hired a publicist. I've never seen so many

super moons and blood moons. I've always been a fan of the moon.

It's something that holds a lot of magic and mystery, and the song really wrote itself."

-Jessie Baylin (as told to Rolling Stone)

 

Singer/songwriter Jessie Baylin has unveiled the latest track from her new children's album, Strawberry Wind. "Supermoon" had its world premiere yesterday exclusively via Rolling Stone, which praised the track's "visually vibrant video," streaming now at  YouTube. The visual marks the second installment of a five-song 16-minute short film suite directed by award-winning animator-filmmaker  Steven Mertens (Dan Auerbach, Regina Spektor), following last month's premiere of the album's lead track, "Dream Catcher," also streaming now at YouTube.

 

WATCH "SUPERMOON" * WATCH "DREAM CATCHER"

 

Strawberry Wind arrives on Friday, April 27 from Amazon Music; pre-orders are available  HERE, joined by instant grat downloads of both "Supermoon" and "Dream Catcher."

 

Produced by Baylin's longtime collaborator, producer-songwriter-musician Richard Swift (The Shins, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Nightsweats, Foxygen), Strawberry Wind not only delivers on a promise to create an honest album for kids and parents, but it represents what Baylin calls the "beautiful divide" of juggling family life with her creative life, a difficult task by any measure.

 

"The divide in me is easy to feel because I invest 100% of myself into my family and often the creative get's put to the side," she explains. "So when I decided to begin writing for this album it just poured out of me."

 

Strawberry Wind is being released as an Amazon Original album, available exclusively for streaming on Amazon Music Unlimited and Prime Music, and for digital download or physical purchase through Amazon Music. A vinyl LP will also be released on Baylin's own imprint Blonde Rat in association with New West Records to both Amazon and independent retailers.
