5.0 out of 5 stars Super first release from future Rock Goddess!, April 17, 2002

Tired of cookie-cutter bubblegum psuedo-R&B pop rock, but still want tunes you can dance to? Try Mara's "It's Who I Am" on for size. A self-taught guitarist with a kick-[behind] power-ballad voice, Mara's music is honest, interesting, and infectious. Try listening to the CD once and not find yourself humming the refrain from "Blue Guitar Rock Star," or not knowing _exactly_ who you wish you had sung "No Apology" to. This is the kind of CD you'll want to keep in rotation for a long, long time. . .I know I do!

5.0 out of 5 stars Trust me, this singer's gonna be big!, April 19, 2002

Y'know how people use other singers to describe someone's musical style? They'll say, "She sounds like Sheryl Crow or Sarah McLachlan or Jewel." Well, believe me when I tell you: in a couple of years, they'll be saying, "Yeah, she sounds like Mara."

This young songwriter has captured a style and energy all her own. With a range of music covering a wide spectrum of emotions and introspections, it's hard to believe this is only Mara's first album. I can't begin to imagine how good her third or sixth or tenth album will be!

Her music runs the gamut from straight rock and roll to moody hard-edge, and from love songs to haunting ballads. She's got some interesting perspectives on herself and on society in general. And it's all wrapped up in an amazing voice and a wonderful assortment of rich instrumentals.

Who does she sound like? She sounds like Mara. And one day soon, that's going to be what people say about other new young artists. Get in on the ground floor on this one, folks. You'll be glad you did.
