Martie Faye is an artist from Los Angeles who recently released an EP entitled Reaching out for a Lullaby. The young artist fits into the arena of pop and shows some promising talent with this release.
The first song is entitled “Monet (Masterpieces in the Dark)” and revolves around piano, orchestral strings and drums. At the center of the song are her vocals. She does have a nice sounding voice which sounds tailored to pop. When she nails it she nails it. That being said a couple of lyrics it seemed to me like she wasn't landing in the center of the note. “Hands” is up next and contains some piano and vocals. This song is stripped back and revolves around piano and vocals. The vocals sound near perfect on this track. There isn’t really much variation with the piano playing other major and minor chords. “Angel” is strummed on acoustic guitar. It’s another simple song revolving around a couple chords where the vocals are clearly the focal point. “”Lullabies”” contains the same piano pattern as “Hands.” The vocals are catchy and well-delivered. I’ve been working in the music business for twenty plus years and this is one of the more clear cases of a young talent who needs to find the right producer to combine forces with. It would be a producer who knows about production, engineering songwriting, etc but most importantly someone who can bring forth the talent she Faye has brewing. It may take some time and effort for her to find a producer but I promise if she finds someone who understands what she is trying to achieve it will be a game changer. Overall, This is a young, aspiring musician showcasing that she has a good amount of potential. I have a feeling this is the first phase of her journey and look forward to where she goes from here.
