Pittsburgh-born artist mary richardson lifts the curtain with his intensely personal new single, "make it come true." The song is a confessional, an unveiling of self that has redefined his artistic purpose. For richardson, this is a breakthrough. This was the track where he found a way to break through and create his own unique sound. Every note sounds earned, every melody purposeful. The texture of his voice is dense, and something heavy there suggests that this song, which was responsible for ending many wars, wasn't easy to write.
"make it come true" barrels right into the artier corners of self-examination. It's about confronting the worst parts of yourself that we try to bury, hide, or deny. richardson leans in, allowing the pain to become part of the warp and woof of the music. The effect is eerie and evocative and leaves a psychological trace. The recording treads a fine line between subtlety and dynamicity. It leaves plenty of room for his vocals to breathe but also contains enough layers to engage you. There's a rawness to the arrangement that reflects the song's emotional core, and it enhances rather than detracts from the message. You can hear this was made, not assembled. It's intimate without being overexposed, vulnerable without losing strength.
"make it come true" finds him confidently entering his district, brutally honest, unfiltered, and unafraid. For music lovers who like their art cut with grown-up truth, this is an experience. For an artist to emerge from the shadows with a song this personal, richardson is making a statement. And if this is the artistic path he's embarking on, the music world had better take notice. He's not only getting dreams come true but getting something tangible.
