I'm a Figurehead dancer. I listen to the music almost every day. It gets me up in the morning and gets me moving during the day. My favorite song is "Wall Pusher" from "You Come Too." You should buy their music because it's great to listen to at every time of the day.

Although I am not a hip-hop fan, I am definitely a fan of The Figureheads, especially the hip-hop music they've written for children and teens. "The Movement" is a great CD choice for tweens and teens -- cool and complex rhythms and lyrics, with messages that speak honestly about kids' personal and relationship challenges. Most important to me as a mom and developmental psychologist, the messages help point kids in the right direction in a pretty confusing world.

My 10 year old's favorite track is a song called "Just Right" that talks about how hard it is to feel like you're succeeding, especially when your natural gifts and abilities aren't abilities that are measured in school or by IQ tests. That song grabs him every time, and it opens him up to hear other important messages about letting his gifts shine, about making good choices, about persevering through hard times. When he listens to this CD, his confidence is boosted and his optimism soars.

We LOVE "The Movement" and we love the Figureheads first kid CD, "You Come Too" -- a CD with an award-winning, soul-moving song called "Born for a Reason" that celebrates EVERY kiddo, even those with special needs. I have yet to see a child or adult who isn't deeply moved and encouraged by that song. "The Movement" and "You Come Too" are both fantastic choices for kids and families who are looking for music with a positive message and hip sounds. You won't be disappointed!
