The Mary Dream Reviews

The Mary Dream, beautiful world

"The Mary Dream have combined all the best elements of pop with a sentiment that runs deeper. It would be a beautiful world indeed if more musicians followed suit."

- Performing Songwriter Magazine

 

"One of Nashville’s most engaging and arresting alternative rock ensembles. Performing original material that deftly blends aspects of trance, rock and pop. Beautiful World showcases Bellew’s flowing, striking delivery and equally distinctive lyrics, augmented by the chordal clusters and backdrops of Ryan’s guitar work."

- Nashville City Paper

 

"Title track Beautiful World is a perfect example of what The Mary Dream is all about. Gentle melodies hover behind Elise's ethereal vocals, which bring to mind British songstress Dido. Soft, wispish and almost hypnotic, the song is the perfect mix of acoustic and full instrumentation. The soothing atmosphere continues with tracks like Liar and Let Me Breathe, which again assays you with gentle vocals overlaid onto some of the most melodic arrangements you will ever hear. Say My Name, a pining lament for a lost love, describes the pain felt in simplistic yet emotive lyrics. it's a track of immense beauty and feeling. If any band has the chance to succeed, it's this one."

"Elise Bellew and Blake Ryan make beautiful music together. On the title track Beautiful World, Elise's vocals are as beautiful as the images the song title brings forth. Where We Are has a slightly sharper edge and brings to mind Natalie Merchant. Elise and Blake have made an album that is exceptional."

"The Mary Dream delivers a radio-friendly album with Beautiful World, which is a beautiful mix of bittersweet, melodic songs that are quite cinematic. Elise’s sweet vocals are bursting with an effortless zest and warmth, and compliment the laid back flow of the songs. Fans of Heather Nova, Aimee Mann, Jewel, Ivy, Sheryl Crow, Duncan Sheik or The Sundays will find lots of tracks to enjoy in this beautiful and noteworthy indie release."

“I liked Beautiful World from the first spin, and then it grew on me even more. This album is filled with beautiful pop songs, sometimes on the dreamy side. It's pretty impressive that this much sound comes out of just two people. It's a great sound, very full and lush. Beautiful World is a collection of beautiful pop songs well performed.”

“From the vibey Both Sides to How You Love Me, with its echoing electronic percussion, or the heartbreaking yet poppy Stuck, The Mary Dream twists their genre into a new direction. The end result is a refreshing album that deeply engages the listener."

- KyndMusic.com

 

"Beautiful World is very expressive, poignant and emotional, and reminds me of one of my favorite singers Norah Jones. I can easily relate it to a drama or romantic movie. It's very mellow and dramatic, which makes you really listen. It also makes you think."

- TheCelebrityCafe.com

 

"The Mary Dream's bio suggests that “if you take the Sundays, Sixpence None the Richer, Sarah McLachlan, Dido and Aimee Mann, you might come up with something that resembles The Mary Dream.” And while listening to Beautiful World, these comparisons prove true. You’ll sway to Stay, you might get a little misty during Say My Name, and if you like your female vocalists to sing sweetly rather than snarl, you’ll enjoy chilling out to Beautiful World."
