Kids' music download of the week: Gotta Be You (and a cool video too)

Back when kid-hop artist Secret Agent 23 Skidoo burst out on the scene with his debut
Easy,
Gotta Be Me was one of the standout songs for its kid-affirming lyrics and celebration of being different from the status quo.
Flash forward a few years and 23 and his daughter (a terrific duo) are at it again on the mark with a most excellent new release.

tomorrow. But in the meanwhile, take a listen to
Gotta Be You. This single talks
to those kids who feel awkward, different, or weird---aka, all of them.
It's a great song for our young kids who are learning how to make
friends without losing their sense of self or giving up what makes them
unique.
But, don't worry: The music is way too cool for it to feel too touchy-feely or like some well-meaning lecture. So my kids will actually listen. -
