Kreuzberg charm, connecting with children on their level, sometimes cozy, sometimes cheeky, and always with a clear edge. Erna the Rocket strikes again. "ACAB - All Colors Are Beautiful" is the opening track, a little nod to the Fab Four. The album features two collaborations each with Robert Metcalf and Emma Grünfeld, British natives now living in Berlin. Beautiful, heartfelt songs about pirates, the moon, and chill toads. There's even a little message for the grown-ups: "Hey? Hello! (Talking is Gold)" addresses parents' excessive cell phone use and media consumption, and Erna also makes a loud plea to "Stop the trash." Like few other bands in the children's music scene, the sassy Berlin-based Erna shines with multi-part harmonies that delight both children AND adults. Guaranteed! Erna means well, and Erna loves you all – just the way you are. #staycolorful
