Award-winning songwriter and Midnight Youth’s former frontman, Jeremy Redmore has today returned with another infectiously-uplifting single: the fun and hook-laden track Singalong.

Listen to Singalong HERE

Stacked with harmonies, quirky instruments and easy-to-follow melodies, Singalong dares every listener to join in; whether it’s through singing, dancing or whistling along. It’s almost impossible not to!

"It's become a mission of mine to get more kids and families singing together,” explains Jeremy. “Because singing can give kids superpowers. While I'm not an expert, science says singing has a pretty incredible effect on kids' self-esteem, sense of social-inclusion and helping them bond in new groups. For kids, these are superpowers."

The "crowd-made" music video created by Adam Rowland from Awkward Animations will drop in two days on October 21, just in time for World Singing Day.

Made with support from NZ On Air, the vast majority of the song was recorded by Nic Manders (Georgia Lines, Brooke Fraser) at his own Smoke Studios in Mt Eden. Not only is the song catchy-as-heck, it comes with a universally inspiring message.

“Singalong is all about the idea that personal expression is contagious,” says Jeremy.” In this case, whenever you feel the urge to sing or dance, just follow it and watch on as you inspire others to join in!”

“Singing has added so much to my world, throughout my life, even when it sounded more like a shriek; and through this song I want to see more kids embracing the act of singing in a society that provides less and less opportunities to do so.”

Kicking off the project with a sell-out first edition of picture book Sing Like A Unicorn, Jeremy then released the accompanying single Sing Like A Unicorn to go alongside it. The song came with a delightful stop-motion music video, lovingly crafted by Adam Rowland of Awkward Animations.

Whether as the frontman of Midnight Youth or as a solo artist, the unmistakable voice of Jeremy Redmore has played an important role in the fabric of New Zealand music over the past decade; he hopes that this delightful new song can inspire the next generation of singers to do the same, and more.
