Ms. Rachel and her husband Mr. Aron announced that their first full length album, I'm So Happy, will be released on 25 September. The record contains 23 newly produced tracks that revisit favourites from the Ms. Rachel series and introduces fresh arrangements for a new generation of families.
Album details
The project was co produced by the Accursos and Grammy winner Scott Riesett. Rachel Griffin Accurso led the arrangements, working with a roster of 19 vocalists and 42 instrumentalists to bring real instruments such as clarinet and strings into the mix. The opening single, I Love a Rainbow, is already available on streaming platforms, giving listeners a preview of the upbeat, child‑friendly sound that will fill the rest of the album.
Among the reimagined songs are "Hop Little Bunnies" and "Icky Sticky Bubble Gum", alongside new originals titled "I'm So Happy" and "Big Feelings". In a shared Instagram post the duo wrote that they hope families will use the music for living‑room dance parties and car‑ride sing‑alongs.
Canadian relevance
While the album targets a global audience, its launch coincides with YouTube's rollout of new parental‑control features for Shorts in Canada. The tools give Canadian parents greater ability to filter short‑form content, a move that aligns with the educational focus of the Accursos' channel. Canadian families may therefore find both the new album and the platform's safety upgrades arriving at the same time.
Both creators have built a substantial following among Canadian parents, who often cite the channel's emphasis on music education and inclusive lyrics. The album's release could reinforce YouTube's position as a source of kid‑friendly content in the Canadian market, especially as regulators continue to scrutinise digital platforms' responsibilities toward children.
