OFF THE BEATEN TRACK, the debut album of the singer, cellist and songwriter MARA, is a kidnapping on unknown territory. With her classic roots, she gives pop songs an individual timbre and you also tend to hear influences from jazz. In addition to adaptations by Garbage, The Cure or Yaël Naïm, it is above all the songs by her own pen that, in their melancholy, dreamy manner, can both radiate inner peace and rebel.

In "Du" (German: "You") she describes the magnetism between two people, the dangerous game between letting go and not being able to do so, while "Fly" envelops her in a cocoon full of spherical sounds. The composition "Land of Thee" begins fragile and almost spiritual, while pulling out all the stops in the middle section and making the cello howl electrically distorted. A bath of emotions that makes you rise from the ashes like a phoenix.


"A record that you actually enjoy listening to because it has real pop appeal."
- Jazzthetik -

"If the term "authentic" was ever applicable, then it was with MARA. This woman does not care about traditional musical conventions and bravely goes her way. That is what makes this CD so special and making it a must for every music lover."
