Comment: “Sing Our Kids to Sleep” is the kind of song that would start playing in a movie when the main character begins a long trip alone, either driving or by bus or train, on a rainy day, reminiscing about better times when their love interest hadn’t left them yet. Released today as the debut single for The Easter Parade, it is a song you won’t be able to ignore.
Matt Steven is a musician, producer, and songwriter hailing from Northamptonshire, UK. After a decade-long break from releasing original music, he’s now using The Easter Parade moniker to create music from his recording studio, Indigo Scala. For “Sing Our Kids to Sleep,” which was mostly recorded this past summer, he enlisted the help of the Betania Hernández String Quartet and mastering engineer Pete Maher. The result is a beautiful track with rich orchestration and honest artistry.
The Easter Parade‘s upcoming debut EP, Raindrops on the Lens, is certainly going to be well worth our attention.

A beautiful anthemic song. Also an interesting choice of a name for his music project.
