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!
