New Album Coming Soon!
John Linn & Margaret Linn present a new album that feels like a lost classic—because in many ways, it is. Thirty years in the making, the project revives and remasters a collection of original 80s-era funk and pop tracks, then expands the story with four newly recorded modern songs that bring the sound forward without losing its heat.
With John driving the instrumentation and production, the album delivers throwback funk with serious low-end and deep grooves—tight, intentional, and cleanly polished without losing the grit. Margaret slides through the melodies with cool control and undeniable pull, turning each hook into something you feel in your ribs.
The album includes guest appearances from Marlon McClain (Pleasure), Steve Christofferson, Paul Mazzio, Kenny Davis, Aaron Linn, and Mary Linn. All songs were written, produced, and recorded by John and Margaret Linn.
