NEW YORK, NY (October 7th, 2022) - Republic Records: Kids & Family and Nickelodeon have announced an all-encompassing worldwide music partnership. Under this newly minted alliance, the brand-new Kids & Family Division of Republic Records will release music for Nickelodeon’s films and television series and serve as the exclusive distributor for Nick’s existing catalogue. Additionally, Republic Records: Kids & Family and Nickelodeon will collaborate on the development of future music-themed projects.
To kick off the partnership, the label has announced its first major album release, Blue’s Big City Adventure, with the lead single, “On Our Way,” arriving today. The album features original songs from the brand-new Nickelodeon and Paramount+ Blue’s Clues & You! movie, premiering Nov. 18, exclusively on Paramount+. With all-new songs and choreography, Blue’s Big City Adventure is a hybrid musical spectacular for the entire family. The movie follows Josh (Josh Dela Cruz), who gets the opportunity of a lifetime to audition for Rainbow Puppy’s (Brianna Bryan) Broadway musical, and Blue (Traci Paige Johnson) as they skidoo to New York City where they meet new friends and discover the magic of music, dance and following one’s dreams. The entire Blue’s Clues crew is reunited for this special movie event, with the beloved animated friends and all three hosts—Josh, Steve (Steve Burns) and Joe (Donovan Patton)—together for the first time in the Big Apple.

Regarding the launch, Republic Records: Kids & Family VP, Marketing and Strategy Bree Bowles commented, “Nickelodeon is an iconic brand that needs no introduction. I was fortunate to begin my full-time career with the company and first-hand experienced the influence and positive impact their properties have on children across the world. It’s an honor to join forces with Tim Weatherspoon and his team on projects that speak to 21st century families with fun and a lot of heart as Nickelodeon has done since its inception.”
Nickelodeon SVP of Music Tim Weatherspoon added, “I’ve been blessed to do business with Monte and Avery Lipman and Republic Records many times over the past 15 years. They’re visionaries and I loved the idea of Republic Records: Kids & Family as soon as I heard about it. Getting to know Bree and the rest of the team has been incredible. We’ve got an opportunity to create a new paradigm for kids’ music with this partnership, and we’re going to do just that.”
