Winsome Kind take you on a Latin-tinged journey with their new single and video Hola Hola — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The latest preview of the Scott Perrie and Leora Joy Perrie’s upcoming third album Love In A Hurricane, Hola Hola is a byproduct of a life-changing journey they made in 2021. Having recently celebrated a decade together, the couple made the bold decision to sell their home in the Canadian Prairies. With their two young boys in tow, they embarked on a transformative journey to Mexico in search of something more. Armed with just eight suitcases, including musical instruments and a mobile recording studio, they embraced a life of exploration and creativity.
Hola Hola is a hopeful song about unity and calling in the frequency of New Earth, highlighting the dynamic duo’s vibrant vocals and world-class songwriting. “From the moment we landed in Mexico, inspiration struck us right away and the melody for Hola Hola came through while we were standing in the customs lineup,” says Scott. “A week later we experienced our first tropical storm, and in a moment of calm, Leora was inspired to write the album’s title track, Love In A Hurricane.”
The Canadian couple journeyed from Mexico to Salt Spring Island in British Columbia to complete the album, which is due this September. The record was almost entirely recorded and produced in their mobile studio and completed with the help of Daryl Chonka (Old Growth Studios) showcasing his profound mixing talents that are sprinkled throughout the album.
Love In A Hurricane was recorded over a span of two years during an adventure that took an unexpected turn when Leora discovered she was expecting their third child. Leora describes their experience of making new memories and music by saying, “Love In A Hurricane is a reflection of our journey, hopes, dreams, and hearts and is music for growing families, music for the hopeful, music for the weary, and music for the strong.”
After returning to Canada for the birth of their third child, Scott and Leora released a heartfelt cover of Sonny & Cher’s I Got You Babe. Their unwavering commitment to their adventurous lifestyle led them back to their family farm in southern Saskatchewan, where they actively participated in the harvest while continuing to write and create new music.
Winsome Kind have captivated audiences with their undeniable chemistry and enchanting music since their story began in 2012, when they met while performing in The Buddy Holly Story in Regina. After travelling the country as the onboard entertainment on Via Rail, performing in train stations, living rooms, and many music venues, they returned home to Vancouver, where they recorded their self-titled debut album, receiving critical acclaim from media outlets nationwide.
