Sisters Tina and Erica Atkins, better known to the music world as Mary Mary, follow up their award-winning, platinum-selling debut album, Thankful, with a project whose music aptly fits its title, Incredible. Superstar producer Warryn Campbell, who has worked with the likes of Sisqó, Brandy, Luther Vandross, and Kelly Price, as well as having worked on the duo's debut project, once again works his magic. These sisters rock on the funk-filled tracks "In the Morning" and "God Bless." Also highlighted here are the songs "Trouble Ain't," "Hold On," the beautiful "I Try," and "Little Girl," along with a well-produced cover of Stevie Wonder's "You Will Know." Once again, this album's title says it all. ~ Tim A. Smith

Mary Mary is made up of two young sisters who write and sing together in a style that melds pop, R&B, and a touch of hip-hop with a spiritually oriented lyrical message. Their 2000 debut turned many heads, but the follow-up INCREDIBLE proved to be the one that broke the duo in a major way. The chirpy synths and bubbly groove of "God Bless" meld perfectly with the optimistic nature of the lyrics, perfectly illustrating the template with which Mary Mary meshes the corporeal with the spiritual. And when Erica and Tina take on the harmonically sophisticated climes of the Stevie Wonder-penned "You Will Know," the pair's musical smarts really come to the fore.
