“Sweet Maria” is an upbeat New Orleans blues and southern soul hymn that honours the proverb “if you love something, set it free.” The song is also a reminder to love and accept others as they are. As the seasons change, a lady is tempted to go, yet always finds her way back to the guy, who waits, arms extended, in hopeful rediscovery.

 

"The syncopated melody struts the boardwalk like a goodtime gal in a ruffled skirt and clicketyclack heels, accompanied by funky-electric keyboard kibbles. The voice is sincere & self-reflective, never laboured yet torn by emotion, and the fluid guitar is sophisticated and heartfelt. This is fabulously perceptive."
