MARY. - Single Review: Day To Day

12 Mar 2021 // A review by Chris Chick
MARY. is the ‘dreamy’ alter ego of the songs creator Stef T, a robust and staunch woman making her way in what can be perceived as a very male orientated world in many aspects. Day To Day is a winding reflection of the inner struggle of finding a place in the world where everything seems to be against you from the start. This is sure fire reminder of how complex systems of power have enslaved many to a life of inward struggles.

The first thing that strikes me about this song is its raw emotive opening that complements the song all the way from its tender opening to its crescendo. MARY.’s voice and demeanour set the perfect stage for the opportunity to lay back into a comfortable position with your favourite tipple, and fall into an almost meditative state to spend some introspective time with yourself.

This is a well thought out production with a very glamorous video to boot. the subtle R'n'B tone that permeates the song is a wonderful reminder of, when done right, a true mood enhancer. All the songs that I have come to remember through my tender years will give my life something extra, and I think this song certainly has the opportunity to be a part of my ever growing list.

If you are a fan of music, this is certainly well worth 3 minutes of your listening ears. If you are feeling a little sorrowful or have experienced some negative forces, this is well worth your listen. In fact, I highly recommend listening for any reason, it is a well harnessed song, with a wonderful voice to compliment.

This song gets a strong 3 out of 5 stars for me, it tickles my emotions and its lyrical content is sure to strike a chord with many of you who have experienced some sort of experience where you never feel like you have been given the opportunity to show what you really can give. Well done MARY. and I look forward to more music like this in the future.

Rating: ( 3 / 5 )
 

About MARY.

Introducing MARY., the dreamy alter-ego of musician and songwriter Stef T. The self-produced musician and songwriter interlaces elements of electro-pop and RnB with a voice that enchants.

Naturally drawn to creating spacious and ethereal electro music that still maintains a hard edge allows MARY to keep conversational and raw lyrical content at the very heart of what she does, and this is just the opening chapter to her story, with more to come throughout 2021.

Turkey The Bird - Album Review: Men, Fish, Boat
31 Oct 2024 // by Chris Chick
Turkey The Bird is the greatest thing to come out of Taranaki since the Jurassic age, if not, at least since the great name of theSlacks who would have thought two magnificent specimens could co-exist in such hostile conditions. But this is about Turkey The Bird and their third album Men, Fish, Boat.

Chasin Wolves - Album Review: Chasin Wolves
04 Apr 2024 // by Chris Chick
If you like your music hard, fast and in your face, this is the album for you. I had to bath myself three times after the first listen just to calm down my ever-increasing dopamine hit.

Ravenhall - Album Review: Brother
09 Feb 2024 // by Chris Chick
Listening to music should evoke an emotional response, to evoke a response that is both positive and uplifting is very difficult to do. I am sure those at the top of their game can argue that it is a talent that comes easy to them, but all the unseen variables that come into play through just living, making friends, going through the highs and lows of life.

Lost Tribe Aotearoa - EP Review: Lost & Found
14 Jun 2023 // by Chris Chick
I am a true ‘noob’ when it comes to the Lost Tribe Aotearoa, so I can assure you and the band that this will be as unbiased as possible. After hearing the first song, I think it is going to be hard to stay that way all the way through this review.

Late to Chelsea - EP Review: LTC
17 Feb 2023 // by Chris Chick
When it comes to the soundtrack of anyone’s life, I am pretty sure the counter cultural sounds and motives of the punk movement would have influenced you at some time. Every generation needs its punk bands even if it's just the opportunity to not take yourself too seriously and enjoy the madness that is life and music.

Corrella - Single Review: Skankin
09 Dec 2022 // by Chris Chick
Oh yes, the summer vibes are in town and Corrella is starting the skank off without delay. Is there any other type of music that reflects New Zealand during the summertime as the ska/reggae vibes that permeated from the West Indies.
