Darla Z Debuts New Children’s Single and Animated Music Video Featuring Bert the Singing Cat

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, June 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Award-winning singer-songwriter, author, and children’s advocate Darla Z has released a brand-new children’s single and animated music video titled "Bert the Singing Cat", inspired by one of the most beloved characters from her acclaimed Cat Detectives book series. The toe-tapping tune sung by Darla Z, bursting with color and charm, stars Bert (short for Alberta), a charismatic feline who sings and dances her way into the hearts of viewers young and old.

The song tells the story of Bert the Singing Cat who lives on an island and loves to fish. One day Bert's fishing in a boat on the bay when the wind picks up her hat and carries it away. Bert's hat lands upon a seagull's back and the seagull disappears from view. Will Bert get her pink hat back? What about the seagull? This super fun song by Darla Z with its playful theme is extremely appealing and certain to become a family favorite. 

Created for children ages 3 to 7, Bert the Singing Cat is designed to inspire giggles, dancing, and sing-alongs with its catchy melody and playful lyrics. To Darla Z’s delight, the infectious tune is resonating far beyond its intended age group. “Even adults are telling me they can’t get the song out of their heads,” says Darla. 

The animated music video features vibrant visuals and adventuresome storytelling, introducing Bert the Singing Cat as a joyful new character in the world of children's entertainment. With its colorful animation and heartwarming message, the video is poised to become a favorite among families and early childhood educators alike.
