All Genres > Pop > with Live-band Production > MARY LYDIA RYAN: Diaphanous

** Now available at iTunes Music Store. Please go here to order. **


Reemerging after three years of starts and stops with her music in the midst of her new found role - Motherhood - Mary has found her new voice and new words and new season.

Mary's music in the past has been compared to Tori and Sarah, Kate... "As much as I am flattered, I never set out to sound like any of them and hold that I am unique in what I do."

From her stark and melancholy debut, to the light hearted musings at times in Diaphanous, Mary is reaching a middle ground in her latest work. She remains true to her clarity of voice and simple, yet elegant style and delicate piano accompaniment.

Mary has a new vision musically as well as for her presentation. "I can assure you there is much to look forward to in the future of my song and live performances. I am thrilled with the direction I have chosen to turn and look forward to unveiling what lies in store."

Here is what the press has had to say...


Ryan's voice is a lovely soprano instrument. Her songs have that mix of Victorian floral luxury and a post Kate Bush sense of drama that might remind you of Sarah McLachlan or Tori Amos. Wistful songs with occasional small surprises."
Dan Maryon, Option Magazine

"Mary's voice is an intense instrument and compliments her amazing piano style."
Madalyn Sklar, GoGirlsMusic.com

[Diaphanous] is "a jazz-accented collection [focusing] on Ryan's register leaping voice. It's a mostly successful formula, with Ryan recalling femm-pop heroes...such as Tori Amos and Kate Bush."
Richard Martin, The Seattle Weekly

Ryan is elegant and graceful with a voice that rises to dizzying heights.
Tom Scanlon, The Seattle Times

"Ryan's voice is a velvet pleasure, her music an easy-listening collaboration of jazz and floral tones recalling memories of Kate Bush and Enya with a modern twist of all the usual female artist suspects: Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan and the like."
Dan Larsen, SeattleInsider.com
