Californian based singer/songwriter Mary Ott delivers a gorgeous, sparkling record that showcases her crystalline voice, her inspired songcraft and a refreshing approach toward musical arrangement.

    A delectible track, the opening, “From My Room” is a skilfully arranged array of passionate vocals, great guitar and neat keyboard passages. The melody is simply enchanting and instantly accessible without crossing too far info pure pop territory.

   “Smack Dab in the Middle”, a co-write with husband Mark Segal, also delivers the goods.

Effectively blending strong emotional vocals with a gentle modern pop musical track.

   “The Web Unwinds” and “Goin’ Nowhere Fast” seem to unfold like a dark-hued flower, shimmering in the tremulous daylight of the artist’s echoes.

   The production is flawless on “He Believes”, which sounds joyous and silky. Mary and co-producers Mark Indictor, Mark Segal and of course the pickers, have come up with a rare rhythmic urgency on “Revelation City”.
