Marla Mase keeps her vocal range tight, focusing more on groove and phrasing than big melodic moves, making for an intriguing, if somewhat safe and repetitive, listen despite her clear inclination to experiment and have fun with her tracks. Drawing clear inspiration from Talking Heads, especially on “All Fall Short,” she embraces a spoken, rhythmic vocal style that echoes the iconic “Once in a Lifetime.” It’s less about vocal fireworks and more about atmosphere, and in that space, the results don’t quite break new ground, leaving her sound distinct but not fully compelling.
