There are albums you feel. The Poison I Choose by Mary Hatley belongs to this kind — the kind that cracks something open inside you. From the first strum of guitar, you know this isn’t background music. It’s a full-bodied, soul-bearing experience, a blend of folk tenderness and soft rock power that carries both fire and fragility.
Hatley’s voice sounds like it’s lived a hundred lives — smoky, wounded, and infinite. It holds the world. Every note feels like a confession whispered in the dark. Over twelve tracks, she explores love that heals and love that hurts (As Long As You’re Mine, Be My Lover), resilience after storms (Dog Days, Ricochet), and the bittersweet clarity of letting go (The Poison I Choose).
It’s an act of emotional courage. Real instruments. Real stories. Real life. Once inside, you won’t want to leave. Are you ready? Press play:
