ALEXA PLEASE kicks off this album with a cool rock and roll feel that will have your grooving in no time. I do love the popish feel to this song. Check out the lyrics, they are great. Turn it up and have some fun. So sweet. I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR YESTERDAY sang by Sarah Morris is a super sweet song that she is singing from her heart directly to you.
You can really feel this song in so many ways. Listen close and there is a good chance you could relate to this song. Great song. THE ME I NEED TO BE is another cool song with a rock taste to it that has a great melody and very cool lyrics. Crank it up and have some fun. I love it. ACABE has a different kind of feel as it's a bit laid back as the melody and lyrics once again are really strong throughout the song.
This song will just carry you away. Nice. ACT AS IF brings this cool album to and end with a sweet beat and cool lyrics once again. I must admit, her vocals really stand out and she is quite a delight to listen to. I love it. The ending is really superb in this song. I love it. You can find Mary Strand at: Bandcamp, Pandora, You tube music, Amazon Music, Apple Music and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE]
