about

This evocative original song from the MARY STOKES BAND initially expressed a personal sense of loss and grief. It evolved into a plaintive plea across the vastness of our world, throughout history and into our own times, about the tragic nature of worldwide warfare without end. In light of the global conflicts currently igniting the earth, art forms of any nature may seem insignificant and even redundant. Despite this, our song began to develop a life of its own, asserting an honesty, integrity and compassion which demanded to be voiced. Since its release, ‘My Voodoo Doll’ has been receiving significant airplay at home and abroad.
Due to the ongoing, escalation of worldwide conflict we re-envisioned the song with a more apocalyptic, edgy and desperate sounding mix, more in keeping with these difficult times. In the hands of producer Pete Holidai this reprised version features explosive drums and waves of guitar power surging throughout. The hauntingly evocative vocal choruses by the QueenBees somehow sound even more darkly Gothic than before, and Mary Stokes’ plaintiff importuning vocal is astoundingly powerful. We are very thankful to everyone involved in donating their time and expertise to bring this project to fruition.
