La música gospel, música espiritual o música evangélica, surgió en las iglesias afro americanas en el siglo XVIII. Se hizo popular durante la década de 1930 y resultó ser una música diferente a los himnos cristianos tradicionales. La palabra original es GodSpell, que al castellano se traduce literalmente como Historia de Dios. Sin embargo, puede también traducirse adecuadamente como Anunciar esa Historia de Dios.
El nombre Mary Mary parece evocar algo espiritual a la vez que alegre y positivo. Y esta es la razón por la que el dúo de hermanas Erica y Tina Atkins eligió Mary Mary como nombre artístico.
La música de Mary Mary, producida por el conocido productor de r&b y hip-hop Warryn Campbell (que ha trabajado en los discos de Brandy, Boyz II Men, Shanice y Dru Hill entre otros), es contemporánea, meticulosa, funky, sorprendente, con mucho soul y profundamente espiritual, pero a la vez tremendamente pegadiza.
