ARDEN of EDEN

About Me

After releasing several successful indie albums on her own, Mary Arden Collins listened to the voices inside her head telling her that it was time for a new adventure. Keeping the pop melodies and poetic lyrics intact, ARDEN of EDEN was born, adding new musical collaborations and white go-go boots.

With a new name and an extra dose of inspiration, ARDEN of EDEN's newest album, Love Street, is anything but the usual singer/songwriter melodrama. Whipping together tasty ingredients like soulful grooves and alternative rock, the result is fresh, organic Indie Pop. Love Street made waves in the television and film world before its official release, with songs featured in episodes of Criminal Minds and Joan of Arcadia, and films. The Thing About My Folks and Solstice.

Inspired by a variety of life experiences from lust to love, the political to the spiritual, ARDEN of EDEN will take you on a stimulating journey, while trying to save the world and still help you remember why you fell in love with music to begin with.
