Hit: 5 Stars
Maria Taylor, one half of the duo 'Azure Ray', has produced a welcome and charming creation in 11:11.
With the exception of two songs, 'Nature Song' and 'One for the Shareholder', all songs are the product of Maria's mind and heart. Nobody can tell you what to like but objectively most of us can spot bad or problemed songs. Hey most of us, save your eyes and ears, you have entered a spot free zone. There exists nothing but the highest quality soaked through and through this collection proving that Maria is nothing short of an amazing songsmith.
As for her voice I've seen it called 'soulful'. I think that's right on the money. Listen to 'hitched', for example, and challenge yourself not to be overcome a bit by the surge of yearning that travels the length of your spine. The song that will probably reach out to the most people on this CD is 'Song Beneath the Song'. It is, at the time of this writing, still available for viewing here:

We often forget how much soul can be carried by the voice of a child. The spirit of innocence, it's loss, and the purity of emotion in any of it's hues. Maria's voice is somehow that and more. She is the whisper of charm so fragile one might fear to touch it and a moment later that same sound weaves it's way into a current so strong the listener might turn and wonder if it is not they who are the fragile one. And, as most know, she never has to scream, nor does she, to make any of it work.
Production quality, recording, playing, mixing and mastering, are exceptional. Even in the early days of 'Azure Ray' the mixing was top notch The thread of that quality has just gotten stronger and trascends into this solo project.
Any CD that contains at least a couple of songs worth it's full merit is worthy of praise. Here you will find far more. Maria Taylor's 11:11 is 5 by 5 and five star worthy.
I am highly entertained Maria! Bravo!

11:11 Poster
Though often referred to as half of the duo Azure Ray and 1/4 of Saddle Creek's Now It's Overhead, Taylor's soulful melodies and honeyed vocal talents have cropped up on the releases of Crooked Fingers, Bright Eyes, Moby, The Bruces, and The Faint. She writes the sort of classic, sad songs once favored by the first ladies of American songwriting. On this, her first solo full-length, she evokes the artistry of greats like Carole King, Laura Nyro, and Rickie Lee Jones, while spanning the spectrum from acoustic folk to electronic dream pop. The all-star cast includes Cursive's Gretta Cohn, Now It's Overhead's Andy LeMaster, and Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis.Alternative Rock Music CDs
