Arriving in October 2016,
the Kidz Bop Kidz's third collection of the year offers more covers of hits from 2015 and 2016, including songs by pop chart staples
Katy Perry,
Meghan Trainor, and
Sia.
Kidz Bop 33 also features works from EDM specialists
Calvin Harris ("This Is What You Came For") and
Major Lazer ("Cold Water"), who were joined on their recordings by
Rihanna and
Justin Bieber, respectively. They're covered here in fairly sophisticated imitations, a far cry from kindergarten singalongs. Also represented are soundtrack hits originally by
Shakira ("Try Everything" from
Zootopia) and
Justin Timberlake ("Can't Stop the Feeling!" from
Trolls). ~ Marcy Donelson
