Studio Noize Review: Marsha Ambrosius ‘Yours Sincerely’ Mixtape
Style: 5 Speakers
Lyrics : 5 speakers
Production: 4 Speakers
The fact there’s not a DJ shouting over this joint is 5 speakers banging right off the bat! No disrespect to my fellow DJ’s… love ‘em all… but a mixtape like this just don’t need you babe. Call this the evolution of mixtapes (A free EP if you will) Thanks Marsh!

The Intro leads us in knowing we’ve entered the Ambrosius sound – and a sweet one it is! Nice strings compliment the singer’s infectious vocal style. Let Me Go – Awww… this one is sexy, sultry, satisfying and sayin’ something. Simply elegant ecstasy! The vocal arrangement in this piece sets it apart as well. Put It On Repeat has the feel of her brother Marvin’s electric writing and production style. I love the drums in this one as the song has a fun, club-ish… new world/pop-ish feel. The rapper Angelique (nice flow) has a familiarity of Natalie (The Floacist), the former Floetry poetic sensation. She Don’t Matter – I love the hook in this one. The track is simple with a flaring snare laid back in the mix. Nice listening pleasure on this one as Marsha displays much heart-felt attitude! It’s one of them ’saaang that song gull’ joints! This Love – What’s beautiful about this piece are the combined elements of sound and singing between Ms. Ambrosius and Glenn Lewis. Simply put this is a ‘‘Suite’ treat and one of my favorites. Storm – I’m not feeling this one as much as the others. The backgrounds are really nice. I definitely get the message, but it’s one that has to grow on me. Glass – My least favorite. The drums especially the snare is a turn-off. Lyrically she’s delivering, but it just doesn’t balance over the track for me. Take Care - One word – Mhmm Nice!!! Okay that was two words sort of! “Late Nights Early Mornings coming soon” are Marsha’s words at the end the mixtape as she lets us know the debut solo joint is on the way! I can’t wait to tear open the packaging on this one!
As a musician reviewing this, I would want more complimenting instrumentation in certain areas around her vocals… but I get it, and perhaps this is why I”m reviewing a mixtape and not the album. Marsha’s one-of-a-kind style is necessary for the industry! She is music, and it’s evident she didn’t just acquire this gift! Music’s in her DNA! I’m 3 CD’s deep with her mixtapes while this beautiful singer, songwriter, producer, and Songstress continues to keep her music relevant!

It was certainly a pleasure reviewing this Mixtape ‘Yours Sincerely’ from Marsha Ambrosius. She is the ultimate reason we need music in our lives! Awaiting the solo debut!
Im in the middle on this one, she reminded me a little of Faith Evans, but overall a great effort.

Hello there my man… I hear ya! Have you checked out her last two Mixtapes? Your thoughts? Yours Truly was craaazy! I’m def not hearing Faith on this one as I think Marsha’s voice is unique.
well i think it was only one of the tracks that i heard the resemblance, but na, i’ll have to find those other mixtapes too and check em out.
I have all 3 mixtapes and honestly the first one was kinda wack to me and I only say that because the title of the mixtape didn’t fit the subject matter in her songs which pretty much sounded like she was just free styling and letting the industry know that she was on Aftermath which I could care less about I just want to hear her do her thing!
Now the 2nd mixtape was classic (after she released the untagged version) and with the 3rd one she has me all the way ready for the actual album and I have to disagree with you on the track “Storm” I loved it!! It reminded me of classic Floetry and man I wish they were still doing music together but in either case she is well on her way to bringing true R&B back to the masses.
My only fear is that the industry as we all know it may try underrate her because for any other female singer to top her musically they will have to have real talent and we all know that’s missing from our music today. I wish her luck and I will be in line waiting to buy a handful of copies!!
What up @Khaos? I agree with you on the 1st mixtape as for the title… but I def got the message. Girl was gettin some stuff off her mind!
Yours Truly was banga… Just tight all the way around! Don C was doing his thing, but yeah when she dropped the untagged version, that was a NICE free album right there
Actually a couple of these on her latest joint remind me of the Floetry days. It’s definitely the one sound fans of theirs miss!!!
I think she’s got all her ducks in a row to handle this promotion/marketing thing. She’s signed with J Records and I’m sure this is gon’ be a sweet highly anticipated release. ..and I’m like you… I’ll def be in Best Buy getting my new Marsha Ambrosius music on.
