KIDZ BOP has partnered with Audible to develop an original audio series called KIDZ BOP Never Stop: The Tour Bus Adventures.
KIDZ BOP is a family-friendly music brand that features pop song covers and original music that is sung by children. The KIDZ BOP brand encompasses multiple albums, music videos, licensed consumer products and live tours.
Since its debut in 2001, the brand has sold more than 23 million albums and generated over eight billion streams worldwide.
“We are over the moon to be working with KIDZ BOP as they bring listeners an audio-only backstage pass,” said Audible executive producer, Heather Alexander. “KIDZ BOP’s beloved family-friendly music has inspired devoted global listeners. It’s exactly the kind of unique vision Audible strives for in our commitment to creating fun and engaging family programming.”
The new audio series follows the KIDZ BOP Kids Giavanni, Cami, Egan, and Knowledge on their musical adventures. The episodes will feature events such as a battle-of-the-bands competition on a cruise ship and a surprise party.
Each episode of the upcoming Audible series is inspired by an original KIDZ BOP song.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Audible and offer fans a new way to immerse themselves in the KIDZ BOP universe,” said KIDZ BOP’s VP, Jackie Turner. “Fans always ask what it’s like to be a KIDZ BOP Kid. Now, with this new audio series, families can get a backstage pass to all the fun.”
Audible is an American company that creates and provides podcasts and audiobooks through its online streaming platform. Audible’s catalog currently includes over eight hundred thousand titles.
The release of the original Audible series is designed to coincide with the KIDZ BOP Never Stop Live Tour that will take place this summer. The live tour will feature both pop song covers and original songs from the Audible x KIDZ BOP series.
All eight episodes will be available exclusively on the Audible streaming platform beginning May 25, 2023.
