Mama B Releases Charming Single “Puffer Fish” from Debut Album ‘Imaginology’

In anticipation of Mother’s Day, the acclaimed artist Mama B (Jacq Becker) delights audiences again with the release of her latest single, “Puffer Fish,” from her enchanting debut album Imaginology, out May 10th. Available now on all streaming platforms, “Puffer Fish” invites listeners into a world of imaginative narratives and soulful melodies perfectly timed for spring celebrations.

“Puffer Fish” is built on a slinky rhythm with pastel jazzy chords and showcases Mama B’s soulful vocals, filled with clever and evocative wordplay. One playful passage exemplifies the song’s whimsical nature: “Sometimes it’s better to be tiny/Swim where no one else can go/And if anyone should find me/I’ll hold my breath and then I’ll blow!” This track is sure to capture the hearts of both children and adults alike with its charming lyrics and captivating sound.

Mama B comments:

“With ‘Puffer Fish,’ I wanted to create a song that feels like a gentle, musical embrace—a reminder of the small joys and the big adventures we can find in the quietest moments. It’s a tune for mothers and children to share, laugh, and dream to, making it perfect for Mother’s Day.”

Following the success of the album’s first single, “Unicorn,” “Puffer Fish” continues to showcase Mama B’s unique ability to blend sophisticated production with timeless songwriting. Her background as a music executive and a pop songwriter, with her music featured in major film and television productions and collaborations with industry giants, enriches her songs with depth and a universal appeal.

Raised in a musical household in Newport Beach, California, Mama B’s formative years were steeped in the sounds of old-school rock n’ roll, soul, and Motown. Her mother’s band was a significant early influence, setting the stage for a lifelong passion for music. This passion led her to explore various genres, from the vocal prowess of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey to classical, jazz, and a cappella during her time at Yale University.

Imaginology is a testament to Mama B’s evolution as an artist and her desire to create music that transcends generational boundaries.

Reflecting on her motivation behind the album, she explains:

“I wanted to do something a little different than what I was hearing out in the music space for kids. I wanted to create music that parents would leave on in the car after they drop their kids off to school.”

The album builds upon the success of Zoology, Mama B’s collaborative project with Uncle T, which captivated audiences worldwide with over 55 million streams and 14 million YouTube views. Awards and recognition, such as being a finalist in the 2021 John Lennon Songwriting Contest and winning a National Parent Product Award (NAPPA) in the “Children’s Album” category, underscore the impact of her work.
