It's hard to imagine a musical world without Mary Mary. The sibling duo have spent 10 years delivering uplifting gospel lyrics via radio friendly modern R&B rhythms and in doing so have drawn to themselves legions of church going fans. The stonking, opening title track with its artful sample of the Jackson 5's "Mama's Pearl" is a gem while throughout Erica and Tina consistently share the hope that is found in Jesus. That they manage to do so with such wide commercial appeal is no mean feat and all credit goes to the team of co-writers and producers, as well as the sisters themselves who remain resolutely confident that their music can help change lives. In the US the R&B-fused, exceptionally catchy lead single "Walking" has already proved a big hit, breaking into the top 10 Urban Adult Contemporary (AC) chart, and must be guaranteed UK radio airplay. But it wouldn't be Mary Mary without some spine-tingling gospel thrown in and "It Is Well" and "Homecoming Glory" will please those seeking more traditional flavours.
