Artist: Bill Harley / Keith Munslow
Song: "It's Not Fair to Me"
Album: N/A
Description: One spin of this new song featuring Bill Harley and Keith Munslow, and older listeners may be reminded of the Smothers Brothers in their quibbling mode. Which isn't so surprising considering Harley and Munslow are, as the kids say these days, "brothers from another mother." The result of a Sirius-XM Kids Place Live contest, just go here to listen to the whole thing.

Artist: Kira Willey
Song: "Dancing With My Daddy"
Album: N/A
Description: I'm sure that the timing of the release of this song celebrating dads just a few days before Father's Day is purely coincidental. Regardless, enjoy the samba, which, if you like, you can receive for free just for signing up for Willey's newsletter.

Song: "The Love Bubble (Unplugged)"
Album: forthcoming, untitled 2012 album
Description: The acoustic version of the popular title track from his first album has a tropical vibe and nicely features CJ Pizarro's soulful voice (with backup from Ava Flava). Also: your shoulders and head will likely move in time from side to side.

Song: "All on a Sunday Afternoon"
Album: All on a Sunday Afternoon

Artist: Cinema Cycle
Album: Hey! Yeah! Yay! (Music for Parents and Kids)
Description: Nashville indie-pop for a good cause. Cinema Cycle is Nashville musician David Arnold, with some help from others, and it's got a wonderful polyglot/Beck-ian sound reminiscent of the great Bunny Clogs. Sometimes heartfelt, sometimes just danceable, and, heck, there's a song on the six-song EP about financial stress ("Broke as in Whoa"). All proceeds from the album's download will go towards finding a cure for ALS aka Lou Gehrig's Disease. (Watch this video for more on the inspiration behind one of the songs.)

Artist: Grenadilla
Album: Can't Wait
Description: Sunny kwela-inflected kids' pop from the five-woman New York collective. If you're able-bodied and you're not swinging along at some point, then you may in fact be a surly person.
