We were writing about Linda Sussman just earlier this year, hypnotized by her gentle acoustic style and heartfelt, honest storytelling. Praising ‘Don’t Let It Rain’, we proudly declared: “There’s something unique in Sussman’s tone: a certain sense of majestic grandeur, a cinematic force that makes her stand out in an over-crowded musical landscape.” We stand by our words, which are reiterated by Sussman’s latest effort, an incredibly meaningful and emotional piece focusing on the current situation around gun laws in America.
‘Let Common Sense Prevail’ is a simple piece in its aesthetic: a hypnotising acoustic guitar provides a never-ending harmonic carpet, allowing Linda to surf such sonic goodness with the charisma and gravitas that exudes from her vocal performance. Boasting an epic and cinematic tone, the Long Island-based talent seeks to send a plea to lawmakers, asking them to enact sensible gun laws.
A crucial, perhaps controversial but certainly needed song, which we are confident will connect with many listeners around the US and the world. Speaking about ‘Let Common Sense Prevail’, Sussman explains: “It is beyond heartbreaking to me to think there are people who selfishly choose to protect their political power over protecting human life. The vast majority of people in the U.S. are calling for common-sense gun laws. We need those politicians who have so far taken no action to find a backbone and stand up to the gun lobby in the name of safety and doing the right thing.”
