Review - Mary Amora releases first album | Eurovision Song Contest News - 2009 Moscow, Russia 

Former Dutch participant of the Dutch National Songcontests 2003 and 2004, Mary Amora, just released her new album. It took the Philippines-born singer several years to get the job done, so that might expain the chosen title of the album, 'Long Way.

The album contains 14 tracks and Mary succeeded in showing her vocal qualities. She brings a mix of pop, soul and rock music, all with that same powerful voice. The album also includes Somewhere By The River, the song which came 6th in the Dutch National Final of 2003. You can also find her 2004 entry The Power Of An Angel on the album, which unfortunately didn't make it to the final. This song was co-written by Sietse Bakker, former chief editor of esctoday.com. 

You can order the album on Mary's own site www.maryamora.nl, or you can order it here, www.bearecords.nl

The Dutch audience got to know Mary Amora in 2001 when she won 'The Soundmixshow'. She performed Tina Turner's River Deep, Mountain High. Her victory brought her the nickname The Dutch Tina Turner.
