Intimacy and honesty are what draw people to Cynthia G. Mason. The Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter has the rare ability to bring listeners inside her emotions. For nearly 10 years, Mason has earned acclaim and fans through a series of self-released recordings. On Quitter’s Claim, Mason makes her songs widely available for the first time with a national release.
The album has already received great press from the Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily News, City Paper, Weekly, and others. Read more about it here.
Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer {Michael Pelusi, Dec 2006} “Her entrancing, hushed songs never go to obvious places. Instead, they feature unexpected chord progressions and intriguingly elliptical lyrics”… “Excellent”
Philadelphia City Paper {Brian Howard, Dec 2006} “[Quitter’s Claim] delivers on the promise of [Mason’s] eponymous CD and ups the ante.”
Philadelphia Daily News {Sara Sherr, Dec 2006} “Gentle enough for the ‘XPN/Lilith crowd, but her darkly observant lyrics and intricate guitar picking have earned her comparisons to Cat Power, Suzanne Vega and Kristin Hersh.”
Songs: Illinois {Craig Bonnell, Jan 2007} “Philly’s best”
