“The Balance”

On “The Balance,” Niagra Falls, NY native Marsha McWilson intones her problems in a smoky, after-hours, girlfriend-to-girlfriend voice.

It’s a slow, introspective and intimate urban AC song about the pressures of contemporary life and the need for a “balance to hold me up so that I won’t fall.”

Not having enough time for prayer, for herself, for nothing at all, really, prods McWilson into prayerful shouts for elusive life balance. Who can’t relate?
