Mark Winters & Roxé Lean Into Life’s Best Moments with Acoustic Duet of Leaning
A Stripped-Down, Soulful Rendition Produced by Michael Shanks, Part of the Upcoming Acoustic Me Album
Singer-songwriter Mark Winters released a heartfelt acoustic version of his song Leaning, featuring duet partner Roxé and produced by Michael Shanks. This intimate rendition captures the magic of their live performance sound, offering a raw and genuine take on a song that celebrates the simple yet profound human instinct to embrace life’s best moments.
Whether it’s the warmth of a grandmother’s hug, the electricity of a perfect kiss, or the comfort of leaning into love, Leaning reminds us that we are biologically wired to seek connection and joy. Science backs it up—when we fully embrace positive experiences, our brains release oxytocin, the “love hormone,” reinforcing feelings of trust, happiness, and belonging.
“The inspiration for Leaning came from those moments that just feel right—when you let go and allow yourself to embrace happiness,” says Winters. “This acoustic version captures the raw emotion Roxé and I bring to our live performances, and I can’t wait for listeners to experience it.”
This release is the second single from Acoustic Me, an eight-song album that showcases Winters’ stripped-down, organic sound. The first single, Signal (Acoustic Me) featuring Roxé, debuted on February 7, 2025, setting the stage for the full album’s release.

Author Camari Knox Releases Debut Poetry Book The Silence of Snow Is So Loudly Deafening
A Stirring Exploration of Trauma, Introspection, and the Unquiet Mind
Author Camari Knox announces the release of her debut poetry collection, The Silence of Snow Is So Loudly Deafening—a hauntingly lyrical examination of identity, psychological trauma, and the relentless pursuit of inner clarity. Self-published and unapologetically raw, this collection is a resonant testament to the quiet chaos that often lives within us.
Crafted over two decades of self-examination, the book offers readers a mirror rather than a map—revealing that perhaps there was never a question needing to be answered in the first place. With intimate, piercing verses, Knox invites readers to walk the blurred lines between silence and noise, truth and repression, reflection and resistance.
“For those who tough love never really worked for. For those who sentimental words of encouragement made them feel uneasy. For those whose only wish is to find someone, something, some words that alleviate every grievance their body has taken on.”
Camari Knox is a self-published author and emerging literary voice with a deep-rooted interest in the complexities of the human experience. Inspired by poets, novelists, and philosophical thinkers, her work balances analytical depth with emotional sensitivity. The Silence of Snow Is So Loudly Deafening draws from her own journey through psychological trauma, offering poetry that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
With this debut, Knox establishes herself as a fresh voice in contemporary poetry—one that doesn’t seek to provide comfort, but rather companionship through the discomfort. Her words do not simply speak; they echo, resonate, and, at times, pierce.
The Silence of Snow Is So Loudly Deafening is now available through Amazon, Good Reads
