Disillusioned over a country music scene that was inhospitable to black women, Miko Marks took a 14-year hiatus before returning in 2021 with the powerful album Our Country (one of the best protest albums of 2021). It is an apt title because it can refer to either the music genre or America the country.
She recently released the track “Trouble” off her upcoming album Feel Like Going Home, due out October 14th. The timely tune expresses frustration with long-standing social ills that continue to be unresolved. It is a plea to engage in “good trouble” in order to bring about lasting change.
