I am a big fan of great harmonies and heartfelt messages, so it’s no big surprise that I loved discovering Scott & Marias most recent release "All I am". The duo from Brighton has a very unique sound defined by its organic and honest feel that pulls you in without needing big arrangements. Since their debut album "Bright Star" was released in 2017 they’ve been shining their light and positive energy trough acoustic and folky songs with soulful messages.

"All I Am" is the third single of their upcoming album "Wish Me Away", to be released this year. It came out towards the end of 2020, a year where most of us have felt lost more than once. With the song they’ve given us a mantra to guide us through this uncertainty: "All I am is Love". It builds on a minimalistic arrangement with a clear rhythm throughout the whole song leaving its wonderful message in the foreground. It’s a song to listen to after a long day, close your eyes and let it comfort you with its beauty and truth. We won’t always know everything and it’s easy to get lost in this crazy world, but love will always be with us through it all. It’s a message so simple that it’s hard to believe, and yet so healing and true.

Scott & Maria have created a beautiful beacon of musical light with "All I am" washing the world and its troubles away and reminding us that we can find love within ourselves and all around us - if we dare to look.
