"....Don’t quite know what it is, but the first time I heard Polly Mackey I just thought ‘star in the making’. Only 17 years old and has potential well beyond her years. She’s going to be BIG BIG. Already creating something of a ‘buzz’ this year at the fest, I’m almost looking forward to standing back and watching the industry feeding frenzy when she gets off-stage” Cary Caldwell, SXSW Conferences & Festivals
".... I think Polly is my favourite pick at SXSW this year” Paula Moore, Senior Vice President, LP33 TV, Santa Monica CA
".... Polly Mackey's voice resounds like Chan Marshall; vulnerable, tender but somehow impassioned and brutally enticing. Keep your eye focused on this precious 17-year-old prodigy"
” Fly Magazine, LEVI'S Ones To Watch
".... Drawing upon an impressive lineage of empowered female frontpersons — from such classic rockers as Maggie Bell and Ann Wilson to the punk and new wave era’s Patti Smith and Chrissie Hynde, and onward to the contemporary milieu’s Alison Mosshart and Sharin Foo — Mackey and her band deliver the hi-nrg powerpop goods with an impossible-to-ignore panache and vivacity. Not for nothing did we pick these Brits as our “Best Kept Secret” for March. But they won’t be a secret much longer. ” Blurt Magazine, USA

To Release isn't to forget, not to think about, or ignore. It doesn't leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. It's not about pride and it's not obsessing or dwelling on the past. It's not about giving in or giving up. To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on. Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing. To release is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow. It's about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain. Letting go is releasing and having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving. It is realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy. To let go is to open a door, and to clear a path and set yourself free---
Polly Mackey & The Pleasure Principle, remember that it's easy to let go when holding on hurts so bad--so free yourself from all these expectations and just be :-) Hope you find the unity in my new single "Release" feat. JRockA.
So come peep the track! Stay creative and stay connected!! Hope all is utmost blessed and irie to da fullest :-) Your friendship and love is greatly appreciated.
