One look at the album cover and
you see a woman that is shining brightly with positivity and light. The mantra
for the project is meant for each listener to embrace their authentic self with
love, trust, joy, and freedom (Listen to “Free To Be Me”). If you are already
doing that then this will just validate that purpose one step further.
Time To Soar is the message, plain and simple. Mary has a very
nice voice that blends well with the music presented. Although the music is not
new age, the subject matter is 100%. The music you will hear is pop, rock, and
adult contemporary. It was all co-created with producer/multi-instrumentalist,
David Vito Gregoli.
“We Are One” is a powerful
message to the universe. The message certainly reverberates with me and
hopefully, it will with everyone that takes the time to listen to this
beautiful combination of lyrical prose and musical excellence. I choose that
that track to be represented on my New Age Music Reviews Spotfiy Playlist (I
also included the entire album for streaming here as well).
A lot of acoustic guitar playing
is very good like on “I Choose Love.” This kind of accompaniment is typical of
what you will hear on this recording. It is quality vocals with quality
musicianship consistently. If you think about it, it has to be strong. If you
want to reach an audience with your message you need a good bed of music to let
ride on, and that is exactly what happens. It works well for Mary’s voice and
choice of lyrics.
Just like she sings on
“Pendulum,” give in to trust, surrender to love. It is simple and straight
forward. However, for some of us, that kind of idea can be a task rather than a
smooth transition. And that is why people like Mary and Vito are here on the
planet, to help us move in that direction a little easier.
“Unity” has more rock elements
than all the previous tracks. It is restrained but impactful with some nice
organ to complement the electric guitar. There are no rough edges or anything
that makes it a flat-out rocker, it is tastefully done to enhance Mary’s vocals
and the background vocals. The track “Ride The Wave” has a political and world
situation bend to it but is done nicely and gently pushes you into a more
positive state of mind. Mary sings-I’m not going to succumb, I’m going “Ride
The Wave” of a higher frequency and I’m going to rise above it and rise to a
higher vibration. What a great message, and finally a song with those elements
without any anger or negativity. It was so refreshing!
This was out of the ordinary for
me in the new age realm which made me more selective and tougher from a
critical stance. Mary passed with flying colors. If you are ready or if you are
not, it is the Time To Soar and “Ride The Wave” to a higher vibration!
