ABOUT NICK LACHEY’S A FATHER’S LULLABY
Parents and their children will soon be soothed by the voice of multi-platinum recording artist and new father, Nick Lachey, who released his first-ever lullaby album, “A Father’s Lullaby,” this March in partnership with Fisher-Price, Inc., a subsidiary of Mattel, and Mood Entertainment.
Lachey and wife, Vanessa, welcomed their son Camden in Sept. 2012 and have been reveling in parenthood ever since. “When I first learned that I was going to be a father, I was inspired to create a special tribute to my son,” said Lachey. “Music has always been an incredibly significant part of my life and a meaningful way in which I express myself. Creating this album allowed me to further connect with Camden while also sharing the experience with families who are on a similar journey of welcoming a new life into their world.”
MY THOUGHTS
As a former teenage-obsessed 98 Degrees fan, it’s hard for me to imagine Nick Lachey all grown up too, complete with a wife and beautiful new baby. Nick set aside his boy-band days to focus on his newborn son and create a soothing lullaby CD for him and his fans to share with their children. Nick and lullabies truly go hand-in-hand – this seems to be what his gorgeous voice was really made for!
The album includes 12 tracks, 4 of which are originals co-written by Lachey.
1. All Through the Night
2. Baby Mine
3. Another Day is Done (Original track)
4. You Are My Sunshine
5. All the Pretty Little Horses
6. When You Wish Upon a Star
7. Father’s Lullaby (Original track)
8. Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)
9. Hush, Little Baby
10. Once Upon a Time (Original track)
11. Sleepy Eyes (Original track)
12. Brahms’ Lullaby
“Father’s Lullaby” was written as both a tribute to Lachey’s father and to his son. “Another Day is Done” is about embracing each moment with your loved ones.”Sleepy Eyes” is a song Nick sang to little Camden while Vanessa was pregnant with him. Aww!
As a mom who sang to both her children while pregnant and as newborns, I’m a sap when it comes to lullabies. My daughter listened to lullaby albums every night until she was about 6 years old. This album takes me back to when she was a newborn and I’d lay in bed with her some nights listening to her lullabies with her until she fell asleep. Nick’s voice and songs have a way of taking me back to those special moments of creating a special parent-child bond that can never be broken. My favorite song is “Another Day is Done.” This beautiful song tells the importance of slowing down and watching your child grow up into the man or woman they’ll become. It’s a truly touching song that I can see being in our lives for a long time.
