With a voice often likened to Carole King and Regina Spektor, a classical piano training, and influences ranging from Björk to Chopin, Me for Queen ? the creative alias of Mary Erskine ? is rapidly winning acclaim for her beguiling ?soul-folk? songcraft, blending traditional folk story-telling with a contemporary edge. Growing up feral in rural Fife/Scotland, years of classical training together with a Blues guitarist for a father make for an interesting mix of Soul and Folk.
Her much-anticipated debut solo album, ?Loose End? was released via Seahorse Music in September 2018, followed by an EP ?Perfect Stranger? exploring motherhood, a collaboration with the Nashville singer, Alva Leigh.
Teaming up for a 2nd time with Jim Wallis at Bella Union Studios, her new album, Microclimate, is set for release in the latter half of 2022. The record charts a turbulent period for the singer-songwriter and marks a musical evolution. With a move towards a more ambitious, electronic sound, it is in turns meditative, joyful then vulnerable, underpinned by resilience.
Mary has enjoyed support from BBC6 Music and BBC Radio Wales and BBC Scotland; the album was Record of Note on Roddy Hart?s show and the single, Loose End, was Single of the Week on the Janice Forsyth show. Her song, ?Jessica? was included on Spotify UK?s playlist, ?The Most Beautiful Songs in the World? and has racked up over 100, 000 plays.
