Do It All Again
Self-Released, 2025
9/10
The powerhouse vocalist Jennifer Marie transitions into soulful pop areas with this sophomore EP, where all 5 tracks make an indelible impression that might bring to mind Adele or Sam Smith.
The warm acoustic guitar of “Take Me Back” starts the quick listen with flowing beats and no lack of hooks that suit Marie’s expressive pipes, and “Do It All Again” follows with sophisticated piano and a tense climate that uses percussion strategically, as Marie hits some very high notes.
Arriving at the midpoint, “You Got A Hold On Me” finds frisky areas to reside in, where a memorable chorus and radiant guitar makes this the EP’s best, while “I’m Releasing” is an upbeat and dance floor ready pop anthem that is so well done, it could make Marie a household name.
“How Do I Get There” exits the listen, and it’s an intimate and haunting finish of that meshes folk and pop with strong attention to mood.
A very refined and heartfelt outing, Marie is yet another voice that deserves to be heard in the Twin Cities music scene, and I feel pretty confident in saying she’s an artist with a global appeal that we’ll all hear more about in the future.
