Goodbye Twinkle, Twinkle; hello My Shot!
Share your love for Hamilton with the tiniest member of your family—without the risk of your toddler belting out, “How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore…” at the park. A new album featuring soothing lullaby renditions of songs from the beloved Broadway show is now available, and it’s a must-download before nap time rolls around.
Rockabye Baby! has a reputation for transforming popular music into gentle, kid-friendly lullabies. They recently released a collection of lullabies inspired by Beyoncé’s hits and have previously adapted a variety of rock albums from artists like Green Day and the Foo Fighters. Now, they’re bringing their calming melodies to Broadway with eight enchanting lullaby tracks from Hamilton.
You can take a listen to the album below. Just try to resist the urge to sing along if your baby is within range—otherwise, you might spoil the tranquility.
The album is available on Spotify for streaming, and you can purchase it on iTunes and Apple Music for $9 or grab it on Amazon for $8. Individual tracks are also available for just 99 cents each on Amazon.
“Hamilton is a cultural phenomenon,” says Sarah Blake, vice president and creative director of CMH Label Group. “Actually, what’s a word that means something bigger than a phenomenon? Supernatural? When fans on our social media and friends began requesting a lullaby version, I was thrilled to make it happen. Its hip-hop anthems transcend Broadway and are perfect for Rockabye Baby!. Plus, I grew up loving musical theater, so blending Rockabye Baby! with a Broadway hit was pure joy for me.”
The gentle sounds of lullabies are perfect for soothing a restless baby. However, a parent can only endure hearing the ABCs and Twinkle, Twinkle so many times. These fresh Hamilton lullabies provide a much-needed break from the usual nursery rhymes. And who knows—perhaps one day your children will join you in singing their favorite tunes.
