Definitely one of the most eclectic releases of recent time, Marla Mase's "A Brief Night Out," takes you on a whirl wind of music, poetry, and raw emotion. This album will take you on a wild journey of emotions that will you have you one moment raising up an eyebrow questioning what you're listening to, to the next moment of throwing your fist in the air rocking. Mase is very unapologetic in her lyrics, and makes you aware of whom she is especially in the final track R.H.M. (Rockin' Hot Mase) where she sings "yeah all my curves are all the rage, and yeah I got an ass and I'm not embarrassed to shake it all over town. Cause my heat is transforming, and I'm not boring." Mase proves that she is more than just a musician, she also paints a sense of imagery in her music that gives you the feeling of watching a musical play that goes from angry, to funny, to sexual at any given moment. This album provides a listening experience that will leave you with everything but a dull moment.
