What’s the 4-1-1?
Marion Raven is the co-vocalist on Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell 3 albums first single "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" but here she gets to display her own talents as both vocalist and guitarist on her debut EP along with a batch of songs that are co-written by some popular musicians such as Nikki Sixx, James Michael, Desmond Child, DJ Asba, and Buckcherry's Keith Nelson.

Genre
Rock / pop

The Good
Marion clearly is having an excellent 2006 and I guarentee you all will soon know who she is! With a blistering set of tracks like "Spit You Out," "13 Days," and the very funny "Good 4 Sex." She definately will make heads roll (and turn)! She has a very sweet but powerful voice and can really get down and sultry when she needs to. I am very impressed with her vocal range and emotionally charged storytelling even if it's a bit tongue in cheek.

The Bad
It only has 6 songs. It's a tad bit disjointed in it's overall feel as sometimes she rocks out and other times she thinks she's techno! But overall she entertains!

The Verdict
Not bad for a first release, but I would like to hear more from her.

Did You Know?
Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue) co-wrote "Heads Will Roll" the first single from this release.
