Grammy-nominated artist SaulPaul, renowned for his eclectic mix of hip-hop, folk, pop, Afrobeat, R&B, and reggae, has released his highly anticipated children's album, *"Speak Hope Sing Joy: Changemaker Music for Kids."* Available today, August 30, on all streaming platforms, this vibrant album is a heartfelt gift to young listeners, crafted to uplift and inspire.
The album, SaulPaul’s seventh studio release, features twelve energetic and positive tracks designed to nurture resilience, self-awareness, and joy among children. The diverse musical styles, ranging from uplifting guitar-driven tunes like the title track “Speak Hope Sing Joy” to vibrant hip-hop anthems such as “SHOWTIME,” offer an engaging and enriching experience. Collaborations with Grammy-winning artists like 123 Andrés, Genevieve Goings, and Alphabet Rockers add a special touch to the album, which emphasizes social-emotional learning (SEL) through songs like “Breathe,” “Bounce Back,” and “Shine.”
SaulPaul’s *"Speak Hope Sing Joy"* draws inspiration from his extensive 16-week tour, where he visited 100 schools across 32 states and reached over 125,000 students through the #BeTheChange Challenge. This tour further fueled his commitment to spreading hope and positivity, themes deeply embedded in his new album.
To celebrate the album's release, SaulPaul invites the community to the Shoot to Live Film Festival: Breaking & Hip Hop on the Big Screen, hosted by Romeo Navarro's BBOYCITY. The event will take place today, August 30, from 3:30 to 6 pm at AFS Cinema, 6259 Middle Fiskville Rd, Austin, TX 78752. The festival will showcase a powerful mix of narrative and documentary short films highlighting the breakdancing and hip-hop cultures, celebrating Olympians who made history by representing the USA in breakdancing's Olympic debut.
