Although gaining considerable interest at home, Maggie McClure, a 20 year old music business student from Oklahoma, is to most a new name on this side of the pond. One way to get noticed is with an album that cannot be ignored and boy does this self-titled release demand attentiveness. From the off this album grips the listener with radio friendly "Out Of My Mind" as Maggie deals with the breakdown of a relationship. Whilst the love/relationship theme holds strong societal importance, Maggie's faith provides the bulk of the material and whilst never glaring is cleverly interwoven with encouragement to "believe and you will find a little peace of mind" with "My Love" proclaiming "You are my solid ground". Perhaps most delightful is the concluding "All Of Me" stripped down and tenderly expressing "to belong is indescribable" as Maggie relays the contentment found in Christ. Each beautifully crafted layer compliments the positive and highly competent lyrical ability, displaying talent beyond her years. If this album is anything to go by, Maggie McClure is surely set to do big things.
