Introduction
Marie Osmond’s “Music Is Medicine” serves as both the title track and thematic centerpiece of her tenth solo studio album, released April 15, 2016, on her own independent label, OliveMe, LLC . This album marked her return to the country genre after a six-year hiatus since her previous solo project, I Can Do This (2010). Music Is Medicine debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and sold around 8,000 copies in the U.S. by late May 2016 ,
Produced by Jason Deere—who brought a fresh creative vision to Osmond’s work—the album also features notable guest appearances from artists including Olivia Newton-John, Sisqó, and Alex Boyé, blending country roots with a contemporary and collaborative spirit.
The official music video for “Music Is Medicine” premiered in April 2016, directed by Alex Boyé. It showcases Osmond visiting and performing for children at various Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals—an organization she co‑founded in 1983 to support kids’ healthcare. This visual tribute underlines the song’s uplifting message and her long-standing commitment to philanthropy .
Osmond herself described music as a healing force: “for me, music has always been a healing balm for my soul… through all the ups and downs, music has always been there for me,” a sentiment echoed in her outreach to young audiences and her broader work around hope and resilience .
With “Music Is Medicine”, Marie Osmond delivers more than a country song—it’s a heartfelt mission statement. The project ties together her musical comeback, her philanthropic legacy, and her belief in music’s power to uplift, comfort, and inspire.
