The rock and roll band from Vancouver, BC, MADARR AND THE KINDHEARTED, created by multi-instrumentalist Duane Rancourt, has released its latest single, “Reflection” from their album “Love Won”.

MADARR AND THE KINDHEARTED’s newest track presents the band’s unique combination of reflective lyrics and captivating soulful bluesy melodies, taking listeners on a heartwarming musical journey.

"Reflection" explores the themes of self-awareness, responsibility, and the quest for meaning. The lyrics illustrate the challenges and victories of self-reflection, encouraging listeners to recognize how love and understanding can help overcome life's obstacles.

This is emphasized at the beginning of the song when you hear Duane belt out:
“Take it truly, take it truly on yourself / there is meaning it doesn't have to be /all the time now we spent wondering/ where we went wrong / there's a mile-long list of excuses coming on strong.”

The creation of the album was a labour of love for MADARR AND THE KINDHEARTED, led by Duane Rancourt. With John Burton on keyboards and Geordie Bolton on drums, they brought a unique chemistry to the songs on Love Won. Their collaboration revitalized tracks that Duane had been developing for over a decade, resulting in a high-spirited and energetic collection of music.

“The album took the simple naked songs I had been singing for years and brought them to a colourful life”, Duane explains. “I think what made this album so good is the chemistry among the three of us and me refining my chemistry within myself. I had to sync my bass-playing with the guitars like I had never done before, and Geordie kept me at a great pace while John gave my songs a classical colour.”

"Love Won," recorded in Vancouver, combines different musical styles and inspirations, reflecting on the diverse backgrounds and viewpoints of each band member. The album reflects Duane's lifelong passion for music and his exploration of deep human experiences through his songwriting.
