Girl Power 2.0

Oh, girls ... the clothes change, but the issues remain the same somehow. The Welsh Marina Diamandis seems currently zurrecht on everyone's lips to be, because here there is the greatest possible consensus of the year to rule. Pop music is incredibly catchy, but at the same time not totally 'plastic' with a protagonist who, as is also incredibly cute idiosyncratic. Everything adheres so the scale that it bothers anyone, but is the more people like balanced. A rogue who evil marketing strategists thought behind it. In England Marina, with its diamonds have the greatest new thing since 'Well, Florence and her machine halt. In Germany it takes for sure for a few months, some airplay or at least be classified in the soundtrack of Heidi Klum's model search.

Marinas 'Family Jewels' has become an extremely hitlastiges pop album that does not deny its indie roots and thus acts as a link between the worlds. As a rock-solid mix of Kate Bush, Feist, Florence or other strong women of pop history. That is also in principle not a bad frame of reference that indeed confirmed as the overgrowing audience in recent years. Here to think in drawers, anyway does not help us. Marina makes Pop, no ifs or buts. But with all sorts of bits and pieces Piano transmissions. Cramming in 'Girls', 80-Basssequencer at 'Shampain' or of course plenty of strings on top. And as a lot of issues, which burn the target group under the nails. Be it the canonization of hedonism ('Shampain'), the Eingestehung their own fragility ('I Am Not A Robot'), most secret desires ('Obsessions'), condemning the beautiful celebrity illusory world ('Hollywood') or whatever , The message is always the same: Do not listen to what the rest says! Be yourself and be proud of it. So basically classic girl power theme, as they have already discussed the Spice Girls in the 90s. Well, but here be omitted halt the trashy outfits, merchandise products and the rest. And Marina has indeed some musical mood. Especially succeeds next to the skill to write catchy pop songs, some very fine 'and indeed, to be authentic! If you with callous, somewhat exaggerated arrogance 'TV told me how to feel, so now real life has no appeal to me' in 'Oh No!' sings, then you take it from her. Madame Diamandis plays with her voice, vary the sound and voice (ing) layers at will which sets it apart from the very positive current soup to Popdamen from the United Kingdom from. In the quiet moments, it remains fragile, when the pathos, such as. In 'Numb' uses, Marina dominates the theatrics. Here at last is the Kate Bush comparison can then but no longer dismissed out of hand. It really is not the worst reference. Although irritating Marina the principle of their music at the end of some and you've already after ten songs feel everything has been said 'and somehow she exaggerates's the Girl-power propaganda also provide a bit, but oh well' I am also a representative the male sex.

And as such, I must go wholeheartedly salute the young lady. 'The Family Jewels' has become an elegant, classic pop album, which one can certainly difficult to resist than popaffinitiver handset. A masterpiece certainly looks different and new, the idea is just not, especially since, as I said, just to swim some fish in the fairway. But if I then, shall we say, take that freshly ejected second Kate Nash Album for comparison, so me coming Mrs. Diamandis overall track stubborn, musically accomplished and credible across. So now before courts in the 'I have it-before-the-other-gewusst'-list secure before no longer coming in in a few months. For those who return can sometimes use an irresistible pop album.
