Introducing... the Six Foot Sound
Marti Shannon is a brilliant young artist who, after this her first single, will emerge as the most sensational discovery of the year. Don't Cry for Me, Babe is a strong, meaningful tune done in the folk-rock vein. Marti’s superb understanding of the mood and feeling of the material—which the statuesque blonde writes as well as sings—is superb and will leave the listener breathless. Is He Gonna Love Me is equally potent, but with up-beat tempo and fantastic backing. Both arrangements are exciting and new… something very new which adds to the vibrancy of the whole experience that is Marti Shannon.
Présente... 6 Pieds de Sonorité
Une très brillante artiste que Marti Shannon, qui pourrait bien devenir la plus grande découverte de l’année avec ce premier 45 tours. En plus de chanter, cette grande et jolie blonde compose ses chansons qu’elle rend presque vivantes par une facilité d’expression extraordinaire et un sens du phrasé musical peu banal qui tiendra l’auditeur en haleine. Les arrangements habilement préparés et l’imposante personnalité de Marti Shannon contribuent à une expérience “retentissante”. Écoute... Don't Cry For Me, Babe et Is He Gonna Love Me.
