The Word Recommender

 

If you don’t know this solo female songsmith quite yet, then prepare any available room between your ears as she’s going to be living in there very soon indeed.

 

She’s currently attracting a level of buzz most artists dream about, with slots as a featured artist on Radio One; Radio Two & Radio 6Music amongst the inevitable busy blog chatter. This is all after very little in the way of official releases and she certainly isn’t ready to push the debut album above the parapet quite yet although it is due for release "before the end of the summer".

 

We adore her here at for her clear and abundant strengths. Strengths you can spot in all the influences she names below, from Patti Smith, to Dolly Parton, to Madonna. Namely, a fiercely independentdrive, a keen interest in the usage of image and style, but it’s most obvious with her astute and brilliant ability to pen an original and melody-heavy pop song that fully snared our attention.

 

It’s an exciting landscape for the female solo musician in 2009, with the likes of Little Boots, La Roux and V V Brown, amongst others, appearing at a seemingly regular rate. All of them are taking back ownership of, whilst simultaneously re-inventing, the crafted, piano-led pop world.

 

It must also be pointed out that they all come with punchy, highly-styled vocals. Although their voices can be likened to pop stars of the past, their singing is the part of their songs that separates them from one another. And Marina is possibly the best case for this in action, with her high-pitch inflections and wide range.

She's just TOO amazing, isn't she? :wub:
