Comment:

"It's amazing, all that you can do," sings Jem on "It's Amazing," and when it comes to the life and times of a full-fledged, on-the-go, dawn-to-dusk soccer mom, it's the truth and then some. Sure, you're a referee, cheerleader, chauffeur, cook, maid, and, most importantly, snuggle bank all in one, but who's taking care of you? We can't clean your bathroom or pick up your kids from school, but we can do our best on the chillout detail, with everything from the laid-back smile-in-a-song that is Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours," to Sarah McLachlan's sweet, jazzy treat "Ice Cream," to U2's bittersweet shout-out to all that you do, "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own." So, put the wee ones to bed, draw that bath, and let our long-playing Essentials bring you down nice and easy.
