Maia Sharp is, first and foremost, a composer. Her songs have come out of the mouths of Bonnie Raitt, Lisa Loeb, Trisha Yearwood, Art Garfunkel and Cher. Her own albums have been liberally sprinkled with pure gems.
Mercy Rising, her self-released and self-produced latest, due in May, is no exception. With the help of Joshua Grange (who plays in the bands of Sheryl Crow and Lucinda Williams), Sharp’s barbs are as pointed as ever. Yet she sings ‘em so sweetly and soulfully that you don’t mind being sucker-punched. Case-In-Point “Nice Girl,” where the mellifluous ambiance cracks open so the bile of the punch line can slap you hard. “When The World Doesn’t End” is smart, philosophical and questioning. “Backburner” is for those who suppress emotion.
