Seeing you just talk behind the microphone like this drew me in completely. I love your music. It is fantastic that you are tackling the challenge of making an album without a label. Looking forward to seeing my name on an album cover in the future, I was to late for this one. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

The only thing I have to say about your personal announcement is that I feel that it only adds colours to your personality and therefore makes it more beautiful!

This was the video that inspired me to become a Patreon member. I’ve been watching your YouTube videos for awhile now and loving them. Can’t wait to hear the album. I also love that you became more open about your sexuality, especially with everything that is going on in the US and their attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community. -signed an LGBTQIA+ member too and lover of Irish music

Lol! My wife and I enjoyed the line about the alphabet Mafia! Loved the video and am so excited about the new album!

Satenius

I have listened to a lot of your music and other videos on youtube the last months and I really like all of them. To be able to help you getting your album out is a privilege.

Cinnder

Ugh -- same here in the UK re bagels!

Robert Guadagno

My comment on the YouTube video echoed here: "You always come off as happy/bright/joyful. Your voice, smile, and energy always come out (no pun). So happy you are in a great place! And I joined your Patron in hopes that my membership helps you continue to do what you've been doing - I love your work, and I'm very much looking forward to what you do in the future! Give NYC a hug for me; I moved to Saint Louis in 2020 and I'm still adjusting to the 'culture shock and lack of real bagels here (their bagels are "bread donuts" not bagels). :D"

I guessed it when you did the whisper track and sneak peaked us that line - so beautiful ^^

I’ve been following you for years, but this is the video that made me become a patron. It’s so wonderful and validating to see an artist I respect so much come out as a fellow queer person. I resonate so much with this video. I also was very fortunate to grow up in an extremely accepting and supportive family, so I never felt the need to make a big deal out of my sexuality outside of my family. Until recently, I was comfortable with just being quietly queer - not in the closet, but also not overtly advertising being bi. But a few years ago, I started teaching music in a very conservative area where being queer is not always accepted. I’ve witnessed some of my students struggling to come to terms with their own queerness, and I realized that it would be a detriment to my students to hide who I truly am. If my being openly queer could help make one student feel a little less alone, then I feel like I’ll have done my job. It’s been a little scary stepping out into the open, but people like you and videos like this help make people like me braver and more comfortable with being open and loud about who we truly are. I’ve also been slowly learning to play Irish flute (transitioning from classical flute), so it’s been really neat to watch you delve into your Irish roots. I’ve learned a lot about Irish trad watching you progress, and it’s helped me fall in love with Irish music even more than I already was. From one bi Irish musician to another, thank you for being such a wonderful human being, Malinda. Your positivity, joy, and love are infectious, and you truly make this world a more loving, beautiful place.

Malinda, you are a joy magnet with magnetic lines dancing and energizing around you. Very similar to the life spark of grandchildren at play. Hats off to your parents. I would pay a significant premium for a first-reader book that taps to play you singing the story in a melody my granddaughters could participate badly but proudly (original collaboration best, not Disney). After the album, perhaps?

Adam Carman

You psyched me up with your video today, girl! Wish I could afford to do more but I want to help!

Cord M.

I've enjoyed your music and your videos for quite some time. I guess I like your energy and your personality in general. I'm not very active on Patreon, but finally decided to make you the second person I support on here. And I can't wait to hear that album!

Michael Brown

So excited for new jams! I will be immediately adding them to my driving playlist. 🥰

Ana María Gómez León

I can't wait! Also, I wonder if the last singles like Wild One will be on the album hmmmm...

Mark.SA-TX

Sweet can't wait!

KlausBeckEwerhardy

You brought a lot of positive energy into my last two years, so I wnted to repay this a bit. ;)

Rose

I've been following your work for at least a year now on YouTube and Spotify but I've been very limited on Patreon. However I got through less than a third of your video before I knew with absolute certainly that as soon as it ended I would be coming here and subscribing. There was very little you could have announced in the remaining 7 minutes that I had not yet watched that could have changed my mind, short of maybe saying you like to kick puppies. (And I was right, I only got even more excited to come onboard by the end!) Your sexuality didn't even make me blink. Wait no that's a lie, it was cool to see you feeling happy about yourself and about finding a way to pull the different aspects of your identity together through music. I mean, love is love, right? As far as being your music fan goes, it's only relevant insofar as it might inspire or be reflected in your music. Whether quiet queer or proud and loud, it's all about the beautiful music you make. I can't wait to hear more of the album! It has been such a difficult few years for so many people in different ways and I'm looking forward to seeing how much of my own personal journey I might be able to feel reflected in your new album. Also I have found it fascinating to watch you explore your Irish heritage with so much joy from the somewhat unusual position of having zero Irish roots myself but having married an Irishman and moved to Ireland from the US almost twenty years ago. It feels like watching both from the inside and the outside at the same time. ❤️❤️❤️

Elie

So excited!!

Michael Henke

Lets gooooooooooo!

Malinda Kathleen Reese

Actually SO MUCH of the album has changed!!!!!!!

Margaret Ann

SO EXCITED! *hops up and down* -^_^- And so excited for you, too!

Ines

Last year you had a livestream where you played lots of songs for an upcoming album. Will they all be on this one?

Geoffrey Wixom

You and your music are inspirational! Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with all of us.

Deanne Reed

Your music moves my soul. You have the brightest future I look forward to coming along with you. I can't wait to hear all you have to share.

Sean Sauer

P.S. "Proudly We Wear the Green"

Sean Sauer

New subscriber thanks to this post. Thank you so much for your music and humor. As the fat middle aged white cis father of 2 bi girls and one trans girl I can not tell you how much every person in a situation and brave enough to come out helps society become more accepting. So thank you again.

Charles Johnson

You are awesome, Malinda! Thank you! 💗

Jordan Balke

Because I have the support of amazing folks like you!

Jordan Balke

:-D Thank you!

Jordan Balke

Can't wait to share more!

Dan Santoro

I couldn't have even started the journey without you <3

Jordan Balke

Yay! Perfect timing!

Jordan Balke

Possibly I could - it might fit better in other videos, but I'm having so much fun along the process too!

Jordan Balke

I'm very excited too!

Jordan Balke

Thank you!!

Jordan Balke

The journey is part of it too! You'll get there <3

Jordan Balke

ME TOO!

Lord Simons

you are destined for greatness

Michael Caswell

Looking forward to your new album!! You are a very well spoken and talented young lady whose messages and updates I look forward to with anticipation

Kit Lammers

Woah, that was an update and a half! Glad you are doing amazing, can’t wait to hear more music!

SR Nulton

ooooo, potential vinyl! So happy! I just got a record player

Michael Honey-Arcement

Can you do a video explaining why in your experience a full length album is harder than the EPs ? I'm guessing that twice the tracks is not twice as long but more exponential?

Jonathan Weiss

I can’t wait for the new album and tour. You were a great source of joy during the last 2 years and I’m very happy to know you’re happier now too. The whole world seems to be getting better now. The folk/irish direction fits you so well, and I can see this new album charting highly.

Cinnder

Ah, an album with transitions is my favourite kind!! Can't wait! So, so glad you are happy and feeling yourself. Had to laugh at the 'you don't have to do anything with that.' It really is all about the music for me, but it's great to see the way the whole community that has formed around you is so accepting of everyone else for who they really are, and I think that wonderful environment derives from the example you set. Keep singing; keep being you!

Dan Santoro

Super excited for the new album! Also, it sounds like you've overcome a lot of obstacles and are really finding your place in the world. I'm SUPER happy for you (and also maybe just a tiny bit jealous, but I'm getting there) :) Still can't thank you enough for that amazing tour (can't wait for the next one), and everything leading up to it, and everything since then. Looking forward to updates, both on the music and on your trips!
