Creativity is expensive currency in an artist's life.
Given the highly predictable nature of pop music, rarely does an artist meld together extraordinary bursts of imagination and still stay within the confines of the marketplace. Mary-Kathryn's sophomore outing has created a truly provocative and extravagant musical gift. Combining a fluid lyricism with musical influences as broad and wide as Israel, Ireland, India, the Middle East and Africa, One Spirit has woven together a swirling, shimmering soundscape that is highly distinctive and exotic while still being accessible. To say there is truly nothing like it sounds cliched, but in fact, listeners will have to agree that this release will broaden the musical palette of the average Joe. The instrumentation alone draws the listener into an experience that allows for times of deep contemplation and other moments of exuberant praise.
