Mark writes and sings his own songs. The title track and wake up call, "Enslaved" 
is my favorite song, with "It’s Been A While" a very close second, as it seems to 
be the story of my love life. Even as a man I also felt touched by the bittersweet 
track “Little Glass Princess”, how insecurity can be born from the
environment around you and eventually became your own
prison.  “Love Only Knows Love” carries a happy go lucky tune,
with a very intense straightforward message about the
indefinable and endless boundaries of love. Throw in the 
affected vocals of “No One Will Be Coming”, whose lyrics combine elements of 
George Orwell’s 1984, alien enslavement, and the Book of Revelations. Each song, 
however, has a place of its own. "

Mr. Mark Angelo has given us an album that begs to be listened to over and over 
again.  It’s especially a great cruising CD, you know those nice long “I feel like 
thinking” drives.  Each time you listen to it, you might just pick up another sound or 
another lyric you may have missed before, and that's what puts the pieces of this 
album together.

It is impossible not to recognize a rising artistic talent in Mark Angelo. I find with all the
renewed over-saturation in many of today’s musicians, very few of them actually display a 
mastery of craft, and even fewer of those actually have something to “truly” say. Mark 
clearly possesses both - the music just reaches through the ears and grips a hungry mind.  
This is a great record - and one of the only albums I would feel comfortable 
recommending to anyone, regardless of their taste.

I'll start by saying Liberating, Emancipating, Open mindedness, risk-taker with a latin twist. I love this CD! Mr. Mark pulled this one off and did it with pride. He is the second trans musician that has something to say that is about SOMETHING (other than sex) that makes you think. I love when he sings in his native language because it brings out the latin flavor. The compositions, arrangements, and lyrics go hand in hand. I was listening to it with my aunt in the car and we couldn't stop dancing to the latin drums!! I hope to hear more from Mark because his message is about saving and being yourself in this cloned materealistic world. As the title track says, " Enslaved....and you call THIS freedom?? free to pay our taxes and told what to do.??" I LOVE IT!!! TRUTH!! Keep up the good work Mark!

I recently interviewed Mark whose fascinating and moving life comes through loud and clear in this fantastic album full of powerful music. His voice and delivery remind me of Cat Stevens or Melissa Etheridge.  Because this is his first album, I was very surprised by how well it was produced and by the pro arrangements. This is heartfelt stuff that is also very good music. I think he's going to become very big news. I especially like the song "I Wonder". Classic. But I suspect there will be as many favorites as there are listeners. Hard to tell which songs will emerge as most popular. Mark is performing locally in south Florida but it won't be long before he is known and appreciated by a much bigger audience.
