Amber Mark on RNB Radar: Osheaga Comeback
How good is it to see Amber Mark back? Just over a month ago she was taking her first steps back after a vocal hemorrhage, surgery, and weeks where she could not sing at all. Today she performed a full set at Osheaga, giving the crowd 'Lose My Cool' and so much more like she never left. That voice is a gift, and watching her go from those first notes back to a full festival stage this quickly is the kind of comeback you root for. Welcome back, Amber Mark.
