Maria Taylor
Ladyluck

Maria Taylor has developed a fanbase based on her quiet and soulful tunes, endearing and charming enough to cockle the heartstrings of nearly any cynic. She has a knack for capturing adult takes on both sentimentality and romance, a talent which has landed many of her songs in the background of numerous romantic comedies and sitcoms. Two solo albums removed from her songwriting duo of Azure Ray, Taylor's Ladyluck continues the trend of emotionally driven pop. Dealing with the hardships of a breakup, the album continues the trend of a well written and likeable songs, but fails to differentiate from both Maria's former work and a handful of musicians doing similar things.
