Mary-Kathryn, known for creating strongly sacred and spiritual vocal music, dreams of world unity and has visions of all humankind fully-accepting each other’s traditions, languages and religious beliefs. Thus the title of her fourth album, Dreams & Visions, encourages everyone to have faith in the future.
“People need to appreciate everyone else and understand that diverse cultures and a different heritage makes our world a much more colorful and interesting place,” says Mary-Kathryn. “No one should have to hide their beliefs or apologize for who they are. We might even find common goals such as pushing for peace or caring for the planet. We are all on a spiritual journey and should respect each other.”
Mary-Kathryn is a unique voice. She is one of today’s few musical artists to sing deeply spiritual lyrics over a world music-influenced sound that also includes elements of world music and adult pop. Mary-Kathrynhas built a loyal following that appreciates her gentle yet passionate vocals, the mysticism of her music and the prophetic nature of her lyrics which have a broad-based sacredness to them.
On the Dreams & Visions project, Mary-Kathrynblends elements of soft pop, rock and folk with world music influences as diverse as the continents to create a spiritual amalgam that transcends musical boundaries and she delves even deeper into the world music realm, painting word pictures on an aural canvas with exotic instrumentation, adroit production, and lyrics that are God-inspired. But as Billboard Magazine’s reviewer so aptly put it, “the most affecting instrument…is Mary-Kathryn’s lovely voice.”
