Kara Square is a nerd who will write a song about anything. As half of the duo Team Smile and Nod, she writes personal and political electro folk pop songs. As Mind Map That, she humorously covers topics such as organ donation, fexting (fake texting), cats, coconuts, and poop. Now armed with a ukulele, Kara Square has developed a passion for writing and singing about one of the most explored, universal subjects that exists: love. It occurred to her that as a lesbian, the very act of writing a love song is political. This idea inspired her to create an album that emphasizes relationship similarities, instead of focusing on identity-driven differences. Through her album, Love Songs For Everyone But Especially Uke, she reveals that love is boundless.
BONUS! This TuneTrack LP includes a download of a song booklet that features the lyrics and ukulele chords to all of the album songs.

Thank you so much, Susan. I think ccMixter naturally encourages creative flourishing, don't you? :) I'm so happy to have found it and to have met such an inspiring group of musicians (like YOU). Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment about my album... I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it! Lots of love to you!

Love this record Kara! (finally had a chance to listen all the way through. . gosh I'm a dork). I remember when you first showed up at ccMixter. While you appeared formed as an artist, your creative spirit has continued to develop and flourish. Wonderful, wonderful work . Anyone loved by you is lucky. I can't even pin point a favorite (although it may still be Start Each Day with Love" because I just loooooovvvvveee that song.)
