Review Children’s songs that combine the calming acoustic folk of Feist with vocals similar to Suzanne Vega. –Independent Artist Buzz Kira’s voice is like warm honey, a cozy bed and sunshine all wrapped up together. When I got to The Mixing Bowl my eyes teared up, my throat choked up and my heart warmed through and through. What a lovely song! I don’t know how you sing it without crying! I love that you have posture sequences for each song as well. This is exactly how I want my daughter to view the world and remember her childhood. Thank you for sharing it with us! –Owner, Emmaus Yoga About the Artist In the kindie music world, Kira Willey breaks through with her unique, two-in-one albums that blend upbeat, danceable music with fun and easy children’s yoga instruction.
