Editorial Reviews

SOMETHING BIG is the sixth album from groundbreaking duo Mary Mary. With powerful voices that soar, harmonies that chime and empowering lyrics, the songs on SOMETHING BIG are instantly memorable. From the lively lead single Walking, to the unforgettable anthem Never Wave My Flag and title song Something Big, Mary Mary is on course to drive their indisputable reputation smack into the mainstream. Billboard Magazine s recent review of Walking stated The song s synthesizer-accented, percolating rhythms are immediately arresting, and the mix is seamlessly strung together by the engaging vocal interplay... Walking is the pair s latest track to leave the listener with a bounce in his or her step.

As songwriters, Mary Mary's honesty and passion are unmatched by most contemporary storytellers. Mary Mary's lyrics underscore an unwavering faith and belief in God to conquer the challenges that life sends our way. It is that faith that has connected with fans around the globe and secured an even wider fan base that continues to grow each day.

"In life, we all need to believe in our inner strength to endure the unexpected, to face challenges which confront us, and ultimately survive; we are living in difficult times, but there are infinite reasons to be hopeful," say Erica and Tina.

During their career, Erica and Tina have sold upwards of five million albums. In a remarkable and still ongoing story, Mary Mary's 2008 release, The Sound topped multiple charts and broke several records. A string of awards, including 2 Grammy Awards, an American Music Award, a BET Award, a Soul Train Award, and an NAACP Image Award, among others were racked up for the album.

Mary Mary have made it their life's mission to connect with people all over the world. It s not just about musical achievements, awards, charts and sales, say Mary Mary. That s not our guiding light. It s about helping people...we re committed to our message and purpose.

2.0 out of 5 stars "Something Missing", April 12, 2011

This review is from: Something Big (Audio CD)

I have purchased all of the previous CD's by one of my favorite groups Mary Mary. This CD is definitely a disappointment. It seems to lack the heart, soul, and conviction of their previous musical offerings. The songs all seem to mimic in some form, a popular secular song or artist. Instead of heartfelt songs of faith and encouragement, the tracks feel contrived and gimmicky. The two ladies are talented beyond measure, and have so much more to offer than this CD delivers. Change and growth are good, but I would caution the Mary's not to forget the sound and the message that made them such powerful and popular voices for God's love and comfort, and not to try so hard to imitate the secular artists of the day. They have a special gift given to them by God. This CD does not showcase their immense talent. It feels uninspired and disingenuous.

I am a true Mary Mary fan but this CD left me scratching my head. The only two songs that I truly like are It is Well and Walking. The CD leans heavily on "dance track" music and lacks the gospel feel of their other CDs. I will continue to purchase their music but I hope that the next CD is better than this. It pains me to even write this review becasue I love the music of Mary Mary .

1.0 out of 5 stars Hmmm...., April 27, 2011

I'm at a loss for words. I normally love Mary Mary and was so excited to get this album. I had to choose between this one and Kirk Franklin and I quickly chose this one. Big mistake! Something is missing..it doesn't sound like them, it doesn't feel like them. I can't explain it. But I'm really disappointed. I hurts to write this but it's the truth. I can only think of two songs on that whole CD that I like.
