Wow!!! From song one you will be moved out of your seat, you will not be able to help yourself!! You will be tapping your toes, snapping your fingers, and singing along! This project is pop, jazz, soul, R&B and many more sounds all rolled into one!!
 
This is Mary Mary’s first new album since their holiday release in 2006 of A Mary Mary Christmas. Mary Mary is comprised of two sisters, Erica and Tina Campbell, they grew up singing in their local church choir, but in 1998 they received their first big break singing a song on the soundtrack for the Prince of Egypt movie. Their debut album, “Thankful,” earned numerous awards including a Grammy for Best Contemporary Gospel Album and three Dove Awards! 
 
I think this album is next in line for awards! From the first song, “The Sound”­which will have you looking around to see if the coast is clear for you to dance!, till the last song “It will all be worth it”­which is more melodic and peaceful, you will hear their pop sound and wonderful harmonies. The stories told by the lyrics are so true throughout the entire 12 tracks. You will be able to relate to the song “Seattle”­laying there praying for Gods guidance, for the Holy Spirit to reign over you! “Get up” is a song you will want to sing along with for hours!! It reminds me of the first time I heard the song “Shackles (praise you),” I wanted to sing, dance and take it all in!!!!!
 
This one is a must buy, and also get a few for stoking stuffers! Definitely women of all ages will love this one! It is available now in stores that sell Christian retailers everywhere!!!
