Beautiful Maybe - Marlee Scott

Amazing album jammed full of wonderful songs

Marlee Scott always wanted to be a singer. Born in Ontario Marlee moved to Alberta at the age of six. Her teenage years were spent taking vocal lessons and learning how to play the guitar. 2007 saw Marlee move to Nashville, after months writing and recording she was spotted by veteran industry executive Gerry Leiske. He saw Marlee’s potential leading to the release of her self-titled debut album. Now sees the release of BEAUTIFUL MAYBE a stunning album packed with twelve great songs. Jane Doe gets the album under way. Marlee has a thoroughly modern vocal sound but there is something quite special about her vocals that it is hard to put your finger on. She has depth and puts emotion into every word. This is quiet a heavy song with belting vocals and powerful backing instrumentation. I Love Hating You is more of a traditional modern country song. An upbeat catchy song with quirky lyrics. I Won’t Love You Anymore is a slower song, which showcases Marlee’s astounding vocal ability. This is an excellent song with a strong edge. Marlee sounds a little like Lee Ann Womack but with a stronger, harsher voice. I’m Not Your Baby Anymore is a beautiful song, quite breathtaking. A slow country song with delicate vocals. Definitely a stand out track and a highlight of the album. Let It Rain is a strong modern country song. This song has plenty of potential as a future single. Planet Of Your Own is a heavier song with a thoroughly modern feel. Rhinestone In The Rough is in the style of early Miranda Lambert on one of her heavier songs. Crazy For You is a wonderful song with a strong pop feel. This up-tempo number is catchy and quite fun to listen to. It is quite different from the other songs on the album but it doesn’t spoil the album’s continuity. Kiss Of Coming Home sees the mood slow. This is a gentle ballad with a strong country feel. Train Wreck picks up the pace once again. Marlee’s vocals are powerful and quite infectious. Life Is Not A Movie is another slow song with lovely vocals. Picking up pace as the song progresses this is another song that would do well in both the pop and country charts. Beautiful Maybe brings the album to a close. The title song is lively and upbeat with touches of Lee Ann Womack once again. It was well worth leaving this song until the end of the album. Many new young female country singers all sound the same; it is hard to tell one from the other. Marlee, however, has distinct vocals and is definitely one of watch. A splendid album that you won’t be able to put down!
