Album Description
The Sound album released in 2008 shows Mary Mary are not ones to shy away from in-your-face declarations of faith, the girls are now more intentional than ever about whom they adore, without for a moment compromising their call to innovation and growth. The introspective 'Seattle' is a prime example, a pensive prayer that asks the Lord to descend upon the soul the same way rain falls on the Emerald City. In the vein of Mary Mary standards 'Can't Give Up Now' and 'Yesterday,' a couple of ballads on The Sound stand out for their passionate delivery: 'I Trust You' (feat. Marvin Winans) and 'I Worship You' are easily the sonic and spiritual plateaus of the album.

4 out of 5 stars Worth Buying   January 5, 2009
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

There are many mixed reviews and all are entitled to each's opinion. I'm reading how the cd has strayed from Gospel roots and more into the secular culture - WOW! My opinion is that when you KNOW God and his word the music can help minister to what you already know. This cd can reach those that may not KNOW the word, and encourage those to seek HIM. It's real and still very inspiring...if you listen to the messages they are all on point. My favorite is "God In Me" and "Forgive Me". For me "God In Me" displays how it's not about what you have, but what's inside of you. Yet, you can still enjoy the finer things in life as long as you know WHO supplies your needs and wants/desires of your heart. It also mentions how you don't know how those that are blessed give or sacrifice.


3 out of 5 stars Good CD   January 3, 2009
  1 out of 4 found this review helpful

I tell you what; Some of you "Christians" are so silly. One person made a comment about if Jesus walked the earth today "Last days". If Jesus walked the earth today I am sure he would include all people. Last time I checked we are all sinners. Some sin behind closed doors while others sin outside. In saying this, if we only let those on the CD who are without sin then we would have no CD or gospel music at that. In the song with David Banner he says something to the affect " I curse in my songs but I am trying to do better". We all are trying to do better and we need more people who are not your traditional gospel musicians to praise God and bring the non believers to God.
To another person who posted a comment about the song "God in Me". Let me tell you this, I know some people see me and the things God has blessed me with and might think whatever that I am a "balla" or whatever. Like the song, they don't see how much I prayed and have suffered to receive the blessings. We all can be blessed and are blessed in different ways. It's not about flashing, its about seeing what others have as a blessing that God has giving them.
As for the CD.. It's good. There are very few CD's in my book that will get 5 stars. For a CD to get 5 stars every song has to be "HOT" and not all of them were. Some songs were just good to me. I like to work out to gospel music and this CD is just perfect for that.

This shouldn't be classified as a gospel cd. Most of this is garbage. So many are selling out.


4 out of 5 stars Mary Mary   December 30, 2008

If you like Mary Mary, you will enjoy this CD. It has a slightly different beat than their usual sound, but than again, maybe that's why they called it 'The Sound'. Buy it, you might like it.


5 out of 5 stars not your moms christian music   December 29, 2008
  3 out of 5 found this review helpful

I like this CD. It sounds like your listening to the radio because between each song the announcer comes on and says your listening to the sound. You can't beat the songs on this CD. They are not your moms christian music. It has a upbeat popular music sound and is very uplifting and real.
