You probably recognize Mary Lambert from her history-making moment at this year's Grammys, when she sang her part on Macklemore & Ryan Lewis's "Same Love" as Madonna and Queen Latifah presided over 33 gay and straight weddings. Now, Mary is striking out on her own with the release of her first studio album, Heart on My Sleeve. The soulful singer has already built a devoted fan base with her unabashedly honest lyrics and powerful voice - watch our interview to learn more about this pop star on the verge.

People might love a good overnight success story, but in truth, Mary Lambert's isn't one. The 25-year-old was well known in the spoken-word poetry scene - even performing on an HBO special as a teen - and had been independently releasing her own music before fellow Seattleites Macklemore and Ryan Lewis asked her to pen the hook to what would become their radio hit "Same Love." Of course, the mainstream ode to marginalized romance propelled her to a new kind of fame, the kind that culminates in a surreal mass wedding presided over by Queen Latifah and Madonna at the VMAs. Now, with her first full-length studio album, Heart on My Sleeve, on the verge of release, Mary is in a position to spread her gospel of self-acceptance to an even wider audience. She has always mined her own experiences, both painful and redemptive, in her bluntly confessional - but ultimately hopeful - music.

On announcing her sexuality to the world on “Same Love”:
“As a lesbian in this industry, I’ve been instantly embraced. I came out when I was 17—coming out in middle or high school is one of the most difficult things that anyone could experience. I wouldn’t wish it on my enemies.”

“Adele shattered the image of how the stereotypical singer is supposed to look. She has that whole ‘Screw you,...

There’s a saying that you’re only as sick as your secrets. If that’s the case, then Mary Lambert is very,very healthy. On her new single, “Secrets,” the singer best know for her feature on Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Same Love,” proudly declares all her secrets: she’s bi polar, her family is dysfunctional, sometimes she cries all day, and some less secret ones— she’s overweight and gay. All these confessions are sung over an impossibly jaunty tune as she refreshingly reveals all in the lyric video. “‘Secrets’ might be the first fun song I’ve ever written,” says Lambert. And, indeed, the bouncy track has an irrepressible Katy Perry, “Roar” vibe. She co-wrote the track with Eric Rosse, Benny Cassette and MoZella. Rosee and Cassette are also executive producers on her new album, “Heart On My Sleeve,” out Oct. 14 on Capitol Records. The song is about accepting yourself,...
