gospel legends as Commissioned and the Winans, it is no great mystery as to why Erica and Tina Atkins have become the sister-act duo of the hour. Their singing/songwriting is laden with a soulful confidence borne of supreme talent and a joyful testimony that springs from firsthand knowledge of God's redemptive goodness. Mary Mary found its genesis when the Atkins sisters met up with producer-songwriter Warryn Campbell. Their initial success in song publishing crested when Yolanda Adams recorded two of their songs on Mountain High... Valley Low. After this, it was just a matter of sorting out the best record deal. Thankful unites the dancing soul and the grateful heart. The blending of Erica and Tina's perfectly strung voices, and the finely crafted hip-hop/gospel flavor brings this genre to a new level. Celebration vibes in such songs as "Shackles (Praise You)" and "I Sings" stir images of packed-out dance floors bumping to the groove and lost in a swirl of coloured lights. In contrast, a reflective side dives deep into the intimacies of following Jesus. The assured declaration of "Can't Give Up Now" and the tender beauty of "Be Happy" convey the heart of what keeps the Atkins sisters impassioned. One listen to this debut release makes it clear that Mary Mary has bypassed rookie status. This CD should come with a "Satisfaction Guaranteed" sticker. --Israel Button
Advantages: I can't find a word in the dictionary good enough to sum up this album Disadvantages: They only did 14 songs
...more complex song). Thankful moves effortlessly and seamlessly from track to track just carrying you along in a tide of joy and positivity. They inspire us to be thankful no matter what is going on in our lives, to carry on despite the pressure and to receive a kind of healing if we are in the pit. Even if you are not religious, buy this album, I certainly want 200% of what these two artists seem to have.
If you are happy you will sing these songs ... ...and have your wounds gently treated. If you are sad, I guarantee that by the last track you too will be singing along with conviction . There seem to be three general styles of music on this album. The songs Thankful, I sings, Shackles, Joy and Good to me are upbeat, fast songs with a good beat, moving closer to R&B. Can't give up now, Be Happy, Somebody and Still my child belong more to the ballad side of songwriting, but they are so well written ...

Groovy song Review ofThankful - Mary Maryby
joeman
Advantages: Good music for the all of the family Disadvantages: Not any at all
Mary Mary is a great albulm. I choose this product because the lyrics and the beat of the song is great. The words they speak are truth and full of life. My personal experience to this song is that I have been known to play it over and over again and get so happy when I listen to it. What would be positive about this song is that it is a song about the freedom you have in Christ. And they jazzed up the song so all you can think about is dancing once ...
