Lachi to Celebrate Neurodiversity with Debut Children’s Album 'Magnificent'
The 10-track collection includes contributions from over fifty artists and creators with disabilities, neurodivergence, and other conditions.
Award-winning recording artist, author, and disability culture advocate Lachi will release her debut children's album, Magnificent, on July 10, a project that celebrates difference, neurodiversity, and self-expression. The album's first single, "Fidget," is now available.
Blending pop and rap with trap and electronic elements, "Fidget" sets the tone for Magnificent, a 10-track collection designed for kids and families that pairs high-energy production with affirming, message-driven lyrics. The song reframes behaviors like fidgeting and stimming as forms of self-regulation and self-accommodation, offering a perspective that resonates with neurodivergent kids while inviting parents and educators to rethink what focus can look like. Listen to it below.
Magnificent is created by Lachi and produced alongside GRAMMY-winner Lucy Kalantari and GRAMMY-nominated duo Andrew & Polly. The album will feature collaborators from across the family music space including GRAMMY winner 123 Andrés, Alphabet Rockers, and Mega Ran and includes contributions from over fifty artists and creators with disabilities, neurodivergence, and other conditions, reflecting the project's core mission of representation and inclusion.
The album is being released alongside a companion curriculum from The Nora Project inspired by Lachi's album, Magnificent. Through lessons tied to the songs' lyrics and themes, students explore disability and neurodivergence, reflect on identity, and deepen their understanding of social issues through music, movement, and guided activities.
