Music Minute: My Octopus and Me

 Fresh from the success of her NAPPA Award-winning debut album, Zoology, John Lennon Songwriting Contest finalist Jacq Becker (“Mama B,” of Mama B & Uncle T) recently released “My Octopus and Me,” a playful new summertime single for kids and families.  

 A sweet anthem envisioning life with a pet octopus, enhanced by Jacq Becker’s lovely vocals and set to a Caribbean beat, “My Octopus and Me” is the second single from the upcoming solo Mama B EPMama B – Under the Sea.

Joining singer/songwriter Jacq Becker as co-writer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist is Anders Mouridsen, who has played on many Grammy-nominated songs and has worked with notables like Cam, Taylor Swift, and Meghan Trainor.

In addition to being honored by the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and the prestigious NAPPA Awards, Zoology has accrued nearly 15 million all-time DSP streams and over 14 million YouTube streams in the seven months since its release.

“My Octopus and Me” is available on all streaming services.  The EP Mama B – Under the Sea was released on August 19.
