Welcome to the Offical MySpace of Mary Mary
www.myspace.com/therealmarymary
With the release of the self-titled Mary Mary, the
Grammy-winning, platinum-selling gospel duo is beginning a new chapter in an already remarkable
career. In 2000, sisters Erica and Tina Campbell earned immediate respect and success with Mary
Mary’s platinum debut album, Thankful. The joyful dancefloor-filling hit single "Shackles" put
them at the top of the charts across the world and then the girls followed it up with the 2002’s
Incredible album. Now, after a short break, Mary Mary returns with the brilliant third album,
packed with uplifting lyrics, distinctive vocals and unforgettable songs. Some things have
changed since Mary Mary’s last album. Most importantly, Erica and Tina have each started
families. As Erica explains, "We’ve been focusing on having babies and staying home with our
husbands and family. We’ve been enjoying life. You gotta take time for family." Tina jokes,
"We’re a lot sleepier now!" She laughs and continues, "We have to change the way we work. The
Dixie Chicks have seven kids under four between the three of them. We think we can do it with
one child each if they can do it with seven! My mama juggled nine kids with being a choir
director. If they can handle it, we can surely handle it with one each." The second thing that’s
changed is that Erica and Tina are more confident about their music in 2005 than at any other
time in their career. Tina shares, "Sometimes when you first come out, you don’t really know who
you are as artists and musically, you haven’t really found your niche. This time around we’re so
comfortable being Mary Mary and I feel like we’ve grown as women and ministers. ’Shackles’ was
great! It opened a bunch of doors for us and I’m grateful for that but you can never do your
beginning again. We can’t make the record again and you can’t redo what you’ve already done.
Obviously we want to make more songs that impact people but God is a God of the present and he’s
doing great things today so we don’t like to live in the past." You’d think that when they were
having a worldwide smash like "Shackles," they couldn’t get more confident but Erica disagrees.
"Confidence doesn’t come with a successful hit," she says. "Think of the millions of people who
sell millions of records and then kill themselves. Or the millions of people who travel the
world and make loads of money and then they’re depressed or take drugs to alter their current
state because they’re not happy. We’re so content with who we are, both our flaws and our
strengths." Tina agrees. "The place where I am right now is definitely a better place."
Thanks for accepting me my sisters.We're here to share and spread God's love on these sites.The devil don't want that to happen.We must continue to uplift and encourage others as we journey through the process.Enjoy your right now.
