Summary: Mary Mary NOT YESTERDAY
Comment: I searched the website for Mary Mary song called Yesterday and this is what I got. Being new to ordering CD's online I did not see where I could check to make sure the song was on this CD and I did not feel A need to since I searched for the song that I wanted for my birthday. Well I got Thankful which is A CD that I got from my daughter when it came out years ago. I must say the CD arrived quickly and in good shape and when I contacted the seller they where very short spoken with me, I won't order from them ever again

Summary: Flawless Debut From the Atkins' Sisters
Comment: I loved this album from start to finish. This is an excellent debut and I think they have a promising future. I have their other efforts, but nothing tops this debut. The standout tracks are "Can't Give up Now", "What a Friend", "Joy", "I Sings", just the entire. I definitely recommend this album for anyone looking for good music.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Strong message and great sound
Comment: I have listened to a lot of Christian R&B, hip-hop, and gospely funk and Mary Mary remains on top. They are a solid group that touch on a diverse range of topics but maintain a consistently rich sound. One or two songs were a little too pop for my general taste, but their strong message made up for it. In addition, I work with an urban young women's youth group and Mary Mary is one of the only Christian groups that earned their respect in terms of beats.

Summary: Thankful - 4.5 stars
Comment: Mary Mary burst onto not only the inspirational but also the r&b music charts with their dynamic first single: SHACKLES (PRAISE YOU). This single captured my attention with its message regarding the need to praise God in times of strife as well as times of plenty and the bombastic beat obviously also caught the attention of those who may have only listened to r&b music exclusively.
This disc has stayed in almost constant rotation in my cd player because of the many inspirationally thought provoking songs which were excellently produced & sung.
To this day my favorite tracks are the aforementioned SHACKLES, ONE MINUTE, STILL MY CHILD, THANKFUL, WHAT A FRIEND, CAN'T GIVE UP NOW & GOOD TO ME (beautiful collabo with Destiny's Child).
If you're building a gospel, inspirational and/or contemporary christian music collection, then THIS cd must added to your collection (and at the current price, you won't be wasting your money in maiking this purchase!!).

Editorial Reviews:
|
Because they were raised in a churchgoing household and nourished with the sounds of such 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 colored 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
