With\u00a0NAPPA, Children\u2019s Music Web, Preferred Choice, Creative Child, and Mom\u2019s Choice Awards\u00a0<\/strong>proudly in hand, independent children\u2019s musician\u00a0Sukey Molloy\u00a0<\/strong>brings her focus to family bedtime listening with the October 16 release of her fourth CD,\u00a0I Am Sleepy! with Sukey Molloy<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(PlayMove&Sing, Inc., $12.99, run time 43 minutes, for all ages).<\/p>\n

Featuring songs, stories, lullabies, and poetry created just for drifting off to sleep, the album is imbued with the magic of the gentle, personal style that has become\u00a0Sukey Molloy<\/strong>\u2019s calling card.\u00a0A companion to\u00a0Sukey Mollo<\/strong>y\u2019s 2012 album,\u00a0I Am Happy! with Sukey Molloy<\/em>,\u00a0I Am Sleepy!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>draws children of all ages \u2013 and even adults \u2013 into a safe and trusting relationship as they settle into slumber. \u00a0Sukey Molloy\u00a0<\/strong>explains, \u201cI wanted to give parents a recording that they could use to help create a peaceful, soothing, beautiful atmosphere that would nourish a sense of comfort and joy for a wide age range \u2013 toddler, preschooler, or a mother with a newborn infant.\u201d\u00a0I Am Sleepy!<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0blends traditional (and not often heard) lullabies, original songs that Sukey composed especially for nighttime listening, and stories and poetry she created with the intention of bringing a sense of both security and mystery at bedtime.\u00a0 The album weaves its way through a calming, quiet, yet always engaging and sometimes playful nighttime \u201cunder the stars\u201d tapestry imbued with the sounds of crickets, owls, and lambs. Sukey\u2019s gentle storytelling and vocals are complemented by the contributions of her classically trained musician friends on harp, recorder, violin, dulcimer, guitar, bass, and piano<\/p>\n

While\u00a0Sukey Molloy<\/strong>\u2019s lyrics and melodies express a sweet, childlike nuance, she doesn\u2019t compromise when it comes to musical integrity and production values. Joining Sukey as co-producer of\u00a0I Am Sleepy!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>isGrammy-winner Larry<\/strong>\u00a0Alexander<\/strong>, who has served in this capacity for all four of Sukey\u2019s CDs.\u00a0 Larry brings to this new release his work with some of the biggest stars in the music business, including Diana Ross (six albums), Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Bon Jovi, and David Bowie, to name but a few.<\/p>\n

I Am Sleepy!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>opens with the crystal clear vocal tones of\u00a0Sukey Molloy<\/strong>, a cappella, singing elegantly simple melodic lines with lyrics that are crafted to instill a natural understanding of poetry, music, and rhythm in the child.\u00a0 Track two, \u201cHush My Little One,\u201d begins with the delicate instrumental sounds of guitar, dulcimer, and bass and lyrics reminding parents that every moment with their little ones is precious.\u00a0 The next song, \u201cEvening\u2019s Coming,\u201d helps children think of the darkness as their gentle friend.\u00a0 A pleasant contrast is achieved with the recitation of \u201cQuiet Night Poem,\u201d which is set against a nocturnal background of crickets and owls.\u00a0 The beautiful sound of solo violin becomes a significant musical voice in \u201cNight is Falling.\u201d To listen to the simple, yet meaningful, organization of the poetry and music in\u00a0I Am Sleepy!<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0gives children and adults alike a sense of security.\u00a0 Like Robert Schuman and Claude Debussy who created significant musical portraits of the nursery,\u00a0Sukey Molloy<\/strong>\u00a0brings a sense of highly artistic aesthetics based on an elegant balance of contrast and unity into the lives of children and parents.<\/p>\n

Sukey Molloy<\/strong>\u2019s award-winning body of work includes the CDs\u00a0Circle Songs! with Sukey Molloy<\/em>\u00a0(2005; Children\u2019s Music Web Award, Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award),\u00a0I Like to Sing! with Sukey Molloy<\/em>\u00a0(2007; NAPPA Honors Award), and\u00a0I Am Happy! with Sukey Mollo<\/em>y (2012; Creative Child CD of the Year Award, Mom\u2019s Choice Gold Award, Preferred Choice Award), and two\u00a0Sukey\u2019s Circle!\u00a0<\/em>DVDs (2009 and 2010; NAPPA Honors Award, Mom\u2019s Choice Gold Award, Preferred Choice Award, NAPPA Rising Star Commendation). \u00a0I Am Sleepy! with Sukey Molloy\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>will be available online at www.sukeymolloy.com, amazon.com, and cdbaby.com.<\/p>\n
