Ever since I fell in love with the sharp humour and great beat of the single "Secret", I've been hanging with baited breath for the release of Mary Lambert's album. The US got it in October, now Australia finally gets a chance to hear the beautiful vocals on "Heart On My Sleeve". It seems surprising we had to wait so long when "Secret" went Top 40 here in Oz and "Same Love" hit number one in Australia before anywhere else.
As I listen to an album for the first time I write a few notes about each song, and looking down at my notes it seems like I've used the word beautiful more times than I thought humanly possible. And it's the best way to sum up this album, it's beautiful. Beautiful melodies, music, vocals, lyrics and Mary Lambert is pretty God damn beautiful.
