** I received a free download of the album to review from One2One Network all opinions are my own.

Mary Lambert is the beautiful voice you may have first heard in Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ hit song “Same Love”. I have the honor of being able to check out her upcoming album Heart On My Sleeve. It will be available in stores on October 14, 2014. Let me tell you, this girl has some vocals on her. It is an amazing album!!

Before Mary Lambert achieved “quasi-stardom” (as she puts it in her typical self-deprecating way) for writing and singing the hook to “Same Love”, the Seattle native worked as a waitress and bartender. After years of hard work, she was signed to Capital Records.

“Having an actual platform made me think about my motivations and what I want to put out into the world,” Lambert says about creating the songs that appear on her debut full-length album, Heart On My Sleeve. “So I made a list of goals.” They were to: 1. Have fun. 2. Create something catchy. 3. Create something that positively impacts the world. 4. Stay true to yourself. 5. Make money. “Is that okay to say?” she asks. “I want to buy my mom a house. I want to start a charity that offers free mental health treatment. I want to tip brunch waitresses hundred dollar bills! But in all seriousness, I wanted to write a pop album that had profound emotional depth and interesting language, while being accessible and catchy,” she explains. “I wanted the songs to be poignant and raw, but I want to hear them on the radio. I like to describe Heart On My Sleeve as a pop album with a conscience.”
