BE BRAVE - The Reviews Are In!

A reincarnated voice – Molly Bryant is a little bit Coal Miner’s daughter, a little bit Suzanne Vega and at least a dash of June Cleaver. Molly, where did you come from? Oh Molly, where have you been? Seemingly too many places, too many eras for just one young soul, but her trip around the block is our gain.  It’s her voice that is brave, comforting, carefree, and yet naturally calculated. Of the album, Be Brave, each song is its own short film with prologue and back-story, plot and dénouement, though many without an ending. It’s like when a movie reveals itself as a dream – you always want more, but you’re left with just the beginning. You’ll feel it in every song, building…mounting…escalating in tone, in strength, inside you. Molly winds you through the trite yet powerful, the suffering who are later triumphant, and the candid teetering on ridiculous. She plays each character brilliantly, but none better than “1-2”. Sure, it’s ballad-like but, uh, brave. You’ll root for her underdog, because it rhymes, because if you want to transcend, then Be Brave is your ticket – to be whatever you want to be. The feminine anthems cannot be denied; they’re whispered, then shouted, then fade, beautifully. The irreverence arrives in an “Ode to Kobes” but soon evolves into a lyrical justice returning you to the voice that’s American and doused with humor and makes you feel a little like Princess Leia or at least Carrie Fisher. Thanks, Molly B. We needed that.  - Theresa-Terry Picciotti
