Warner Music Group’s Arts Music division and Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, have teamed up to re-launch Sesame Street Records in the United States and Canada.
As a result of the multi-year deal, a catalog of Sesame Street recordings is available now across digital streaming and download platforms, with new compilation titles on CD and vinyl formats.
Arts Music’s plans for the revitalized imprint include never-before-released music from current and past seasons of Sesame Street, including appearances by pop stars and celebrities; new thematic compilations aligned with educational topics featured in current and upcoming seasons of Sesame Street; and new cover songs and parodies from outside the TV show. New titles featuring these songs will debut in early 2019.
The partnership marks the first time in more than twenty years that new music from Sesame Street will be available to the public under a consistent schedule of releases. The label will curate the extensive catalog into new thematic CD, vinyl, downloadable, and streaming series for a new generation of listeners.
First was the “Letters” series, which debuted September 21. The next release will be the “All-Time Favorites” series and a new holiday compilation this month.
