“Patrick Adams is name familiar to children music fans for his ongoing podcast Kindie Rock Stars, which he launched shortly after releasing his first album, Amazing World, in 2021. Travel Time arrived in 2022, and Adventure Time is his latest effort. As the titles suggest, Adams likes to give his albums a theme. The “Adventures” he sings are fun things that families can do together – from doing zip lining, rock climbing, and roller coasters to going camping or the beach. Musically, this energetic album cruises along fueled by upbeat synth pop sound. It will especially appeal to parents who still just can’t enough of bands like Depeche Mode, OMD, and Soft Cell. Adams does shift gears nicely throughout the album, such as injecting a revved up electric guitar solo to “Go Kart Racer” and pumping up the funk (complete with disco-style backing vocals) on “Beach Bonanza.” Adams’ observational, descriptive writing – whether he is singing about playing VR games or riding a water slide – can also easily lend itself to inspire families to come up with their own songs about the things they do in their own lives.”
