“Mary Hatley’s debut album The Poison I Choose hits like a gut punch wrapped in velvet. ” - Philomena Marie
“The Poison I Choose is a debut with staying power, marking Mary Hatley as not just a promising artist, but a necessary one.” - ELLE MCGUIRE
“Memphis-born Mary Hatley lights the fuse on The Poison I Choose — a debut that burns blues, rock, country, and pop into one unflinching statement. No polish, no pity — just scars turned into fire, demanding not sympathy but witnesses” - Achi Benetti
“With her husky, evocative vocals and storytelling that blends the personal with the universal, Mary Hatley has crafted a debut that feels less like an introduction and more like a statement: she’s here, she has something to say, and she won’t be ignored.”
“Mary Hatley’s debut album ‘The Poison I Choose’ is a triumph of vulnerability turned into strength—a collection of songs that remind us how powerful it can be when a woman tells her story unapologetically.”
“What makes the album stand out is Hatley’s balance of strength and softness. Even in songs born of pain—like the haunting title track—there’s an undercurrent of defiance, a refusal to surrender. This tension between vulnerability and power makes The Poison I Choose a debut that doesn’t just introduce Mary Hatley, but firmly establishes her as a voice worth following. ”
