Kimya Dawson To Pen Songs For Sesame Street

Kimya Dawson is to write music for children's TV show Sesame Street, after producers of the popular series called the singer.

Dawson tells Billboard: "I'm a kid of the '70s, and I definitely grew up with 'Sesame Street' -- the old 'Sesame Street.' I'm just a huge, huge fan."

It also turns out that in August, Kimya will release a children's album named 'Alphabutt'. Speaking of the record, Dawson continues to Billboard that the songs are "not necessarily anything like a lot of other kids music that's out there."

"I think the songs are really free, which is a little different from a lot of other kids music I've heard. And I think kids will connect with it, musically, 'cause it's actually kids playing. It's really free and kind of wild."
