A Song to Make Your Baby Happy
Experts have teamed up to answer a question that any parent wishing to soothe or amuse a little one would appreciate the answer to: What kind of music do babies like?
Caspar Addyman, an expert in child development, and Lauren Stewart, a musical psychologist, come up with the ideal parameters for a baby-friendly pop hit—one that was "proven to make babies happy."
After extensive research, the two hired Grammy-winning composer and vocalist Imogen Heap — formerly of the synth-pop duo Frou Frou and mother to an 18-month-old girl — to put together a melody following some ground rules: it had to be in a major key, be simple and repetitive, and have a broad range of dynamics to keep the baby surprised and tuned in.
