washingtonpost.com TOP PICK:
Instead of locking her innermost thoughts away in a diary -- the way most young girls do -- 12-year-old Margot MacDonald bears her soul in song, with a consistent lyrical depth that could easily rouse envy in any would-be wordsmith.
At the start of the war in Iraq, she wrote "Whispers of the Dove."
"... Whispers of the dove/ Can't we heed her love?/ A wounded bird bows her head and weeps/ I ask why, Oh why, When doves cry ..."
Her first big break in the music business inspired "So Good."
"... So no one knows my name/ No trophies on the shelf/ My only claim to fame/ Is just bein' myself ...
"Think I'd like to stay/ Havin' way too much fun/ Ain't it time to romp and play?/ I'm lovin' everyone!/ Life is just so good to me ..."
Now Margot has her first album, "Rising," an impressive 10-track disc produced by John Jennings (the producer-guitarist best known for his multi-Grammy Award-winning association with Mary Chapin Carpenter).
"When something bothers me, like the war in Iraq, I write a song -- "Whispers of the Dove." And when I'm so happy I could pinch myself, how I felt working with John, I write a song -- "So Good." My songs keep me in balance. The challenging part is coming up with just the right words so others may feel it too."

Don't let her tender age fool you. This is one amazingly talented musician and vocalist! Rising, the debut album of young singer/songwriter, Margot MacDonald, is a collection of 10 original songs. Margot's music is a mix of pop styles with blends of rock, folk, R&B and ballads. Her words offer refreshingly positive messages of youthful wonder and aspiration -- yet with surprising lyrical sophistication and deep sentiment.
Margot wrote her album's title track, Rising, for her friend, Andrew, who has faced the challenges of leukemia this past year. In his honor, the Childhood Leukemia Foundation will receive a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Rising.
Margot is a gifted and exciting young artist. This astounding debut album is a wonderful taste of things to come...
