Artist Spotlight: Allioopsy

Allioopsy is a musical act from the Gold Coast, Australia. The lineup consists of friends Carl Hitchmough and Jacinta Kealley. They are relative newcomers to the children's music scene launching in late 2022. Despite the band's brief existence they've already released an entire album of original tunes plus a YouTube channel featuring a number of entertaining music videos. To find out more about them I highly recommend this introduction video for the song "Allioopsy".

The band's debut album It's All About Fun consists of thirteen fabulous songs guaranteed to have you up and moving. From the uplifting opening track "Allioopsy" right through to the jaunty "In My Backyard" the band rarely pause for breath. Other stand out tracks include the lively "Good Morning Sun" and the intriguing "Melody Lane".

The album has something for everyone, if you are a music teacher looking to further engage young children then "Robot Dancing" should be right up your street, and "Happy" really does what it suggests with a variety of reasons to be cheerful. Whether that involves jumping on your bed, or eating jellybeans on a fork there are plenty of examples of how 'to be happy'.

The album essentially is "All About Fun", and the band have achieved this, with music that literally explodes in an exclamation of joy, which is both infectious and easy to dance to. 'Fun, fun, fun is the order of the day, and who am I to argue.

All in all, an outstanding debut album, from a band who have tremendous potential. Their songs include a variety of themes, which would appeal to teachers, parents, and all the children out there who just want to have fun. Certainly music for both the young, and the young at heart. Hopefully, I can catch up with them at one of their gigs in the near future. Watch this space!

Allioopsy - fun and games for all the family.
