  • This CD is a great mix of lyrics, vocal and musical arrangement!
    author: Kalinn Kimball

    This CD shows a diversion from her previous album. The lyrics, vocals and musical arrangement are superior! The song I recommend a listen to is That’s Where I’ll be. The way it start’s off is an interesting twist of an older LP playing; then the song surprises you with a strong upbeat sound. I would recommend this album to any real music collector!

  • New and Fresh Sound

    Nice Girl is a new favorite cd for me. Hungry for somthing new and fresh this cd has poignant lyrics, great instrumentation and stellar vocals. With the clever lyrics on Nice Girl it is no wonder this songstress was the winner of the Loinel Richie 2005 Songwriting Scholorship at UCLA. Mary Beth Abellas voice is truly wonderfully heard and felt with such emotive expression. You can't listen to Good Girl without leaving with the impression that it is an intensely personal body of work she has poured herself into. Good Girl is sure not to dissapoint and has certaintly found a permanent place in my musical library.
