"The
songs themselves, like the novels of Tim Winton, seem to be hewn from
a specific sense of place, one that is universal but nonetheless rooted.
'Another Day' has all
the elements of a Nashville blockbuster" - "Melbourne
native Marisa Yeaman is proof that Australia's female vocalists are
more than mere pop confections and fluff.
'Pure Motive'
is a folk-pop Kasbah filled with tinges of Americana, roots music,
and bluesy amulets. " -
HYBRID MAGAZINE - USA "Marisa
has a universiality that makes for compelling listening."
3 and a half STARS "She
has that essential ability to present a concept or feeling in the
most precise package possible, saying, to paraphrase an old quote,
'the mostest, with the leastest'. Now that's the hallmark of good
songwriting."
- FOUR STARS "
' OH WOW '.....Marisa's ' Pure Motive ' album is a great masterpiece
with its distinctive vocal drive duelled with thoughtful, and artful
lyrics, glued with perfect production" "When
Marisa played live to air on Equilibrium... her songs were so open,
yet so personal if you know what I mean...I had a really strong listener
response to her performance..." "With
that powerful and particularly soulful instrument she serves up thirteen
splendid songs on 'Pure Motive'." "The
song 'No Fences' is a classic. Marisa's beautiful voice reminds us
of Rosanne Cash. The songs are sometimes recorded with guitars only,
accompanied by piano and accordion and sometimes with a full band,
but always good!" "Songs
that captivate immediately, yet hold their appeal." "She
sings with a warm voice, beautifully suited to these very poetic lyrics." "The
complete album is pure and unpretentious, with a convincing long run
sound" "From
a musical point of view it sounds like a fresh breeze" "Standing
out above all is Yeaman's beautiful voice, that is warm, soulful" "'She
has decided to follow a personal and brave path on this record, far
away from musical business flatteries and close to her own sensitivity
as an artist...'Pure Motive' encloses therefore 'the pure' sense of
making music according to an author of good hopes."ROOTS
