I will say that Genevieve Goings, in addition to being a very talented singer, songwriter and actor, has excellent timing. This is a very good week (if you’re on the East Coast) to release a song about using your imagination to pretend it’s summer while in the midst of, oh, a massive winter snowstorm.
Lots of us kindie old-timers (well, comparative old-timers) recognize Genevieve from her long run in the Disney Junior series she co-created, Choo Choo Soul. But she’s been creating music outside of that series as well, and this new song, “Summer All Year Long,” is from her forthcoming album Great Indoors, out tomorrow(!) on 8 Pound Gorilla Records (also responsible for releasing Frances England’s new album).
The new song is clearly inspired by feeling a little trapped during the pandemic summer of 2020, but I think it’ll jam just as sweetly in February 2022 (or 2024) as it does right now. I’m happy to world-premiere the video, full of cute kids and of course Goings’ bright, clear voice.
