Mantras for a Magical Life

Leora Joy and Scott Perrie have been making music together ever since the moment they met and fell in love. Through a 10-year journey as Winsome Kind, they’ve evolved into inspirational artists, with a mission to heal hearts and empower minds through music, to shine light in the darkness, and lead the way with love. Following an expansive year, including 2 EmPower Positive Music Awards (for Trail of Love, and Frequency), and a Sask Music Award Nomination for Inspirational Artist of the Year, they are absolutely thrilled to be releasing a new kind of album to the world, Mantras for a Magical Life.

These mantras were channeled directly from Leora’s heart, and created with conscious intention through the truest collaboration of husband and wife soulmates, along with their little angels who chose to sing along. Recorded, produced and mixed entirely in their home studio by Scott, and all recorded in 432 hz (the frequency of Mother Earth).

Winsome Kind’s prayer is that they bring comfort, activate magic, heal hearts, and empower minds.

Let your voice join in freely, or allow yourself to be immersed in an atmosphere of love over a cup of tea, sitting in the sunshine, dancing with your children; wherever and whenever you need a dose of magic, joy, and good vibrations.

May these mantras be shared far and wide, sung in community circles, and as medicine to children and their mamas in the quiet hours.

There's magic that occurs when two soulmates meet here on Earth, and the expression of their love and their purpose happen to magically collide in every way. In life. In harmony. In love.

We've been living a life of adventure, raising 3 little souls (Avery, Jasper, & Eliza, we love you so much!), opening our hearts and minds to the fullest life experience. Our gift is making music along the way. It’s been a 10 year journey together thus far, and lifetimes worth of songs, stages, & stories.

We were inspired to begin creating this album after taking the leap to live in Mexico, where we rediscovered ourselves. We were called back home to Canada to free-birth our beautiful daughter by a lake in the woods. We moved into a 32" camper and reconnected with the land. Spirit called us West to Salt Spring Island, where we completed the album, thanks to a magical series of serendipitous events.

This is music straight from our hearts, authentic and full-bodied. Empowered music for the weary, for the strong, for the lovers, for families, and for the ones forging a new path. Music to shine light through the darkness. Music for everyone.

Thank you for listening, for being here with us, & for receiving the love.

Bienvenidos a la Tierra Nueva!

“The folk-pop affair is rife with vibrant harmonies, and there's a candy store's worth of sweet melodies. The couple's individual influences also find room to breathe here. Joy is a classically trained vocalist and Perrie's a self-taught guitarist and singer-songwriter, but those skill sets coalesce into a mutually assured confidence that serves them well…” (Andrea Warner, CBC Music)

“Laying in their joy, their energy, this album brings you face to face with your lover under the sheets. I loved Winsome Kind, may these two love forever and may their music never die. I will be following these two married merry makers for many, many years to come.” (Geyser Music)

“Their most recent adventure was writing, arranging, and recording the new album, We Call It Home while also being attentive parents. The video and indeed this single is certainly a reflection of that, with the song being a paean to family and the sense of connection we treasure while nurturing and being a part of one. The close harmony singing between the two leads sounds like an aural symbol for all of that.

Living in this era where children and families are actively being torn apart in the name of national security, this song isn’t just a feelgood tune of contentment. In our current context, it becomes downright political. But in the another sense, it really is a gentle reframing of the things that most people value, and that often become momentarily forgotten in the middle of busy lives; the vital importance of connection, acceptance, and security that is so sought after in families, and in general. Happy listening!” (Rob Jones, Radio Free Lightning Bug)
