My perspective of Mary Mary has always been that they would record occasional brilliant tracks ("Shackles" of course and their wonderful "Heaven") but haven't really delivered a top rate album. I think that's changed with this one. Far more focussed than previous projects, and with occasionally breathtaking production this shows Tina and Erica at their finest with the club-friendly "Get Up" and the thumping title track with its wonderful contemporisation of the '60s Motown Sound being my current favourites. Clearly the sisters taking it up to the next level has been recognised by the public as this is their most successful album of the five they've recorded and wherever you look, like the righteous "God In Me" with special Kierra Sheard, or the sassy "Boom" this is urban gospel at its best.

Product Description
The dynamic award-winning sister duo Mary Mary (Erica and Tina Campbell) are at it again with their highly-anticipated fifth release entitled 'The Sound'. From the smash hits 'Shackles' and 'In The Morning' to the poignant ballad 'Yesterday', Mary Mary are set to deliver more of the same in songs like 'Get Up' and 'The Sound'.
Award-winning producer Warryn Campbell (Erica’s husband) is at the helm producing this album with help from Rodney Jerkins.
With the volume of issues facing many today, the Lord continues to give Mary Mary a fresh sound that speaks his message in a relevant and timely manner to the young, old, men and women of all nationalities.
Join Mary Mary and release the sound of God’s love and encouragement to this generation.
