In Love There's A Risk

Mary Cross.  Often described as the Mother of Cool Smoke, gives a Sultry, Sensual, Grown folk music performance reminding us what a classy, sexy, grown woman of distinction looks and sounds like.  She exudes grace, class and style but above all...when she utters a melody in song her tonalities are reminiscent of the late, great Phyllis Linda Hyman.

Fresh off of her debut single, In Love, There's A Risk, Mary Cross, the 'Mother of Cool Smoke' is back with her highly anticipated single entitled 'Promise'.  Captivating from the moment that you press play, it starts off with a lovely piano-led melody, Carl Cox on alto sax and lush strings.
Promise is reminiscent of timeless classic soul music that takes it time to deliver and leaves you yearning for more.  
Mary Cross rides the melody perfectly bellowing low registry vocal tonalities reminiscent of the late great Phyllis Hyman as she sings on the chorus, "promise to be faithful / promise to be grateful / promise that you love me / always thinking of me."
Vocals performed and written by Singer-Songwriter & Stylista Mary Cross.
Produced and cowritten by Grammy nominated producer Donald Robinson.  "This song celebrates everyone who made the PROMISE.  Song written with love & commitment in mind."
