Singer-Songwriter Linda Marks Releases her new 'Kindness' Album on 6/1/22
Wed Jun 1, 7:00 AM - Wed Jun 1, 11:30 PM

Kindness is a quality much needed to soothe the soul in trying times: a world that too often seems cold, cruel, chaotic and constantly changing. After more than two years of pandemic living, a heartbreaking war in the Ukraine, and accelerating inflation, many are feeling burned out, stressed out and unsettled. Linda Marks' new Kindness album, which will be released 6/1/22, offers safe harbor and a healing balm. Kindness is her 12th studio album with two more in the works (Everyday Legends 1/1/23 and A Recipe For Hope). Linda's new single "Let There Be Love," co-written with Mike Greenly was recently released on 5/1/22.

Songs on Kindness draw from social issues ("Be The Light," a prayer to "keep the peace of burning in the heart, humanity," "All One Human Race,"Marks' response to the tragic shooting of George Floyd: "put away your guns, open up your arms, light the flame of justice, love begets love," internet dating, "Virtual Pie In The Sky," and title song "KIndness,"), invite spiritual upliftment ("Between Night And Day," "Uplift Me," and anthem for the global Light Up the Love movement "Light Up The Love"), healing ("Take Me To The River") and the what matters most ("Home" and "Love And Time"). Kindness includes two favorite covers, Clint Black's gorgeous song about healthy relationships, "Something That We Do," and Carole King/Gerry Goffin's classic "Up On The Roof."

Celebrating her folk roots, Marks approached Erik Balkey of Hudson Harding Music, to collaborate on a "folk album." Marks reflects, "I am grateful to Erik and to Glenn Barratt at Morningstar Studios for helping me create Kindness. Erik selected this wonderful collection from Marks' catalogue, including a brand new release, Uplift Me." Listen to Kindness on Soundcloud.com/linda-marks/sets/kindness.
