Ms. Rachel Announces Debut Album 'I'm So Happy' for September Release
Ms. Rachel will release her first full-length album, I'm So Happy, on 25 September through Magic Star, the children's and family division of Sony Music Entertainment's The Orchard distribution arm. The lead single, "I Love a Rainbow," a bossa nova track celebrating colours, is available now. Billboard
The album spans 23 newly produced versions of songs from the Ms. Rachel series, pairing original tracks such as the title cut and "Big Feelings" with reimagined arrangements of children's classics including "Hop Little Bunnies" and "Icky Sticky Bubblegum." It is the first full-length album from Rachel and Aron Accurso, the married co-creators of the series. Billboard
Rachel Accurso, born Rachel Griffin, created the Ms. Rachel series in 2019 after her young son experienced a speech delay and she struggled to find content supporting early language development. The series grew from that gap into one of the most widely watched children's programmes on streaming. In early 2025, Ms. Rachel launched on Netflix and became what the streamer reported as its most-watched season of children's programming. Billboard
Magic Star, the label releasing the album, was launched in 2019 and distributes and develops audio and audiovisual content for children as part of The Orchard, Sony's distribution and label-services arm. The Orchard handles distribution and marketing for independent labels and artists across multiple genres — in this case channelling that infrastructure into family audio. Billboard
The lead single already has a high-profile endorsement. Sesame Street released a "Sing Along with Elmo and Miss Rachel: I Love a Rainbow" video on its official TikTok account, featuring Elmo and Miss Rachel performing the song together. Sesame Street TikTok
For parents who have watched the series on repeat, the album offers a way to take those songs beyond the screen — 23 tracks reworked for listening without a video component, available wherever music is streamed or sold.
