Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN revealed that customers, as well as its Prime members would have access to new original music for the entire family with the launch of the album Novelties from Recess Monkey. According to the retailer, the latest album from the Seattle trio, Jack Forman, Drew Holloway and Korum Bischoff, features 14 fun songs like "Time to Make the Donuts," "Sweaty Yeti" and "Chasing My Tail" that the entire family can sing along to and enjoy.

Amazon said its Prime members could listen to Novelties on its Prime Music at no additional cost to their membership on compatible devices. That included Amazon Echo, Fire devices, iPads, iPhones, Android devices, Sonos players and more. Additionally, Recess Monkey's album would also be available for digital download or physical purchase on Amazon Music.

The online retailer's VP of Digital Music, Steve Boom, commented, "Prime members have loved having a variety of music to listen to on Prime Music, including songs and albums just for kids and families. We're excited today to give our Prime members even more family-fun music with today's release of Recess Monkey's Novelties, and look forward to even more great family music from Bob Schneider, Amy Lee and Lisa Loeb this year."

Similarly, Recess Monkey said, "Novelties is a really eclectic bunch of songs that each shine in their own crazy way, but come together in one madcap, high-energy assortment. Some of the titles and stories came directly from conversations with kids, while others were more fueled by the kid-centric energy that we've absorbed throughout our years in the classroom."

Shares of the online retailer traded 2.1 percent down on Friday.
