This is a great debut album. Mary was amazing in Same Love and I instantly got addicted to Secrets once I heard it recently, so I had to check this out. I was certainly impressed, and I find Mary to be pretty similar to Sara Bareilles. Both make amazing music, have stand-out voices and are full of positivity (but also have a significant somber side.) She pretty much shines on both ends of the spectrum, tearing my heart apart in a wonderful rendition of Jessie's Girl, while making me want to jump and dance around to the title track. I'll definitely be excited to see her live when she comes to my Jingle Ball concert.
