13 songs for the 2nd bedtime book by Sasha and Julia Röntgen! On his new album, the likeable singer presents an imaginative mix of strong, catchy pop songs and dreamy bedtime songs for children and the whole family. After the success of last year’s children’s book debut “Toto and the Man in the Moon” by Julia Rontgen and her husband Sasha, the successor “Toto and the Man in the Moon – Departure for New Adventures” is now being published by Carlsen Verlag. And the successful musician has once again contributed songs that bring to life the magical bedtime stories about the boy Toto, who flies to the man in the moon in his dreams at night. Framed by the title song and the sleep song “Time to go to bed”, which fans already know and love from the first Toto song album, little listeners aged 4 and over travel musically in a highly varied way into eleven worlds that are sometimes pleasant, sometimes funny or exciting. Heavenly waltzes about the magic of the stars, Caribbean-maritime summer sounds and danceable disco tracks (like the pre-release single “Zeig was du hast” about fashion hype and the modeling world) meet here with funky 80s guitars, electro beats, rocky sounds (like the winter song “Get the sleighs from the cellar”) or even medieval melodies. Finally, the “Mondscheinsonnate” (yes, with an h) is the big cuddle and goodnight ballad with gentle grandeur and classic opulence, in which Sasha proves to be a child’s loving and supportive companion in the night. With all their variety and rhythm, all songs are wonderful for cuddling, dreaming and enjoying, but often also for dancing and singing along.
