Green/Periwinkle (Jelly Otter album)

### Producer

Jelly Otter • Addison Holley • Alessia Cara • Callie Moore • Cathy Moss • Jeff Danna • Gage Munroe • Lorraine Pond • Robyn Hardy • Devan Cohen • Taes Leavitt • Nick Adams • Liam McKenna

*Green* is the third studio album recorded by Jelly Otter, released on May 11, 2019. She and Callie Moore are enlisted as songwriters. The album's title refers to her favourite colour, green.

Hoping to experiment with new sounds beyond her childhood's children's music and nursery rhymes, Jelly invited Addison Holley (Pinch's current Canadian voice actress), Taes Leavitt, Lorraine Pond, Callie Moore (Jelly's favourite children's music singer), alongside her long-time collaborator Devan Cohen, and new friends Gage Munroe, Jeff Danna, Cathy Moss and Canadian singers Lennon Stella and Alessia Cara.

Green combines styles of children's music and nursery rhymes with radio-friendly pop, and is released alongside its early and late singles "The More We Get Together", "Little Green Frog", "7", "Ladybug", "Sing, Dance And Play" and "Snowflake". Both "The More We Get Together" and "Sing, Dance And Play" set a few records and spent seven weeks atop the Canadian Hot 100, and are Jelly's all-time favourite songs.

As a departure from the excitement of radio-friendly pop production of her 4th, 5th and 6th albums, Jelly Otter re-recorded both *Green* and *Periwinkle*, and released *Green/Periwinkle Revisited* in March 15, 2022 with her new friend, Liam McKenna.

## Recording and production

After her playtime is over and after she finished her school at age 6, Jelly Otter played with Pinch Raccoon and Baby Butter Otter. Her fav Baby Einstein DVDs Jelly watched with Baby Butter were Baby Van Gogh, Neighborhood Animals, Baby Monet and discovery kits Animals Around Me and World Of Colours. Callie Moore comes in to her playhouse. Jelly plays with her frog puppet and Pinch is painting a green picture while practicing with one of her black friends in a green skirt.

Jelly turned 7 years old on March 14, 2019, the day of her 7th birthday, and released her second studio album, *Bright*, on March 15, 2019. She began embarking on her Bright Tour in the summer of 2019.

Tanya Cookies then asked both Jelly Otter and Pinch Raccoon to collaborate with Callie Moore, Addison Holley and Devan Cohen on a new studio album. Jelly recruited Taes Leavitt and BoBs and LoLo while Nick Adams worked with Jeff Danna. The new studio album, titled Green, is designed with doodles and paintings of butterflies, flowers, lily pads, frogs and water lilies on water colours, markers, washable paint and chalk.

On May 1, 2019, Jelly Otter made a short visual that depicted the characters "F-R-V-R-P-I-G-O-E-E-S-R-N" emerging from a green vault. She launched a feature for putting word puzzles back together in order to uncover the album's deluxe track titles. There's an animated drawing of a green vault. It made one of the 15 puzzles with or without an accompaniment hint. The track titles are set once 15 puzzles had been solved. Four new deluxe track titles are added: "Forever Spring", "Green", "My Butterfly Kite" and "Good Night".

On December 10, 2019, 15 days until Christmas, Jelly Otter made a short visual that depicted the word "SNOWFLAKE" emerging from a periwinkle vault. She launched a feature for putting word puzzles back together in order to uncover the album's periwinkle track titles. There's an animated drawing of a perwinkle vault. It made one of the 16 puzzles with or without an accompaniment hint. The track titles are set once 16 puzzles had been solved. Five new deluxe track titles are added: "Forever Winter", "Periwinkle", her collaboration with Lennon Stella, "Snowflake", her 1st re-recording of "Is It Over Now?" and "Strawberry Ice Cream".

On December 31, 2021, in her final 2021 concert, Jelly Otter performed wearing green and periwinkle, representing the colours of (in one side, Jelly’s favourite colour — green, and in the other side, her periwinkle coloured snow) *Green/Periwinkle*, and announced *Green/Periwinkle (Revisited)* as her 2nd re-recorded album, and will release on March 15, 2022, exactly four years after the release of *Bright*.
