This is an interesting tale. Marla Mase is a native Brooklynite who has been a player in that region’s local music scene for some time. Apparently, it’s her time to shine, front and center. There are elements of punk rock poetry—think a Brooklyn John Cooper Clarke, or a modern Jim Carroll.

“All Fall Short” is a journey, a rollercoaster of emotions and stanzas. It always feels like Mase has a surprise up her sleeve, like she won’t make the obvious choice with a song. That might be explained by the fact that she’s a performer and actress as well as a musician.
