Maria Lawson的容貌并不出众，但她却有一个被上帝吻过的嗓音。Maria Lawson 30岁才开始起步出专辑，正如她说的：“时间能将一个女人的声音变得完美。”的确，经过了时间的积淀，Maria Lawson的声音里有着一个成熟女人的魅力，饱含深情且不矫作。Maria Lawson以她成熟的声音，表达着真实的情感，于是使音乐旋律变得更加动人。Maria Lawson 现在是英国超红的女星，这也许来得有点晚，在她的新专辑的封面，Maria Lawson仰望的眼神，是在怀念那些已经逝去的年轻的岁月，还是表达着梦想终于成真时的感伤？
成名曲 《Black Mona Lisa 》
But oh I am not afraid
To be a lone bohemian
I can paint a portrait of myself
I will call me a black Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa
Come to discover - I am your daughter
The sky above me is silent and empty
I am an island
A little freak of melancholy
But these hands
They unbead your rosary of wisdom
Bewitched, spellbound I'm found
And returned from superstition
You are my martyr
I'm a vestige of a revolution
My alma, my mater
And now I can let go
My old addictive solutions
CHORUS
I used to be a connoisseur
Of hate, self hate, paternal hate
Hate cum gratis
I connected every kind
Sipping it like red wine
The insecurity was mine
The ties that bind were
My design
But oh I am not afraid
To be a lone bohemian
The sun is still unkind
To those like you and me
Seekers of sanctuary
Though I'm not afraid
I'm sanctified and fortified
Because you sacrified
I can call myself Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
Men have adored you
But oh I am not afraid
To be a lone bohemian
I can paint a portrait of myself
I will call me a black Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa
Come to discover - I am your daughter
The sky above me is silent and empty
I am an island
A little freak of melancholy
But these hands
They unbead your rosary of wisdom
Bewitched, spellbound I'm found
And returned from superstition
You are my martyr
I'm a vestige of a revolution
My alma, my mater
And now I can let go
My old addictive solutions
CHORUS
I used to be a connoisseur
Of hate, self hate, paternal hate
Hate cum gratis
I connected every kind
Sipping it like red wine
The insecurity was mine
The ties that bind were
My design
But oh I am not afraid
To be a lone bohemian
The sun is still unkind
To those like you and me
Seekers of sanctuary
Though I'm not afraid
I'm sanctified and fortified
Because you sacrified
I can call myself Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
Men have adored you
But oh I am not afraid
To be a lone bohemian
I can paint a portrait of myself
I will call me a black Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa
