Calgary-based Music with Mandy, the charming children’s jazz artist, is back with her latest single, “Sugar Rush.” Mandy Morris, the creative force behind Music with Mandy, weaves her magic with warm vocals and light-hearted compositions.
The inception of “Sugar Rush” in April 2020 coincided with a moment of uncertainty. It unfolded when Mandy faced a temporary halt in the production of her previous album, “From My Head to My Toes.” Undeterred, Mandy, was determined to turn a setback into something sweet, as she collaborated with the imaginative 7-year-old prodigy, Graham Smart, over Zoom. Together, they crafted a musical tale centred around the irresistible allure of candy, inviting listeners on a whimsical adventure into a candy store filled with sugary delights.
Performed at various festivals, “Sugar Rush” captures the essence of boredom, hyperactivity, and a sugar crash, creating a delicious treat for audiences of all ages. Mandy’s bright performances bring the lyrics to life, with kids in the audience mirroring the story’s emotions.
Mandy is passionate about connecting children and their families with music, and “Sugar Rush” is another of her stories through song that helps young children navigate their emotions indulging in a music high that lingers long after the last note fades away.
