Marina & The Diamonds/The Family Jewels
Another sweet, sugary voiced Brit…but she’s got chops. And her birthday is one day before mine! (Thank you, Wikipedia). Essentially super-pop music, with some rock influence. Sounds like: Florence & the Machine, Kate Bush & Imogen Heap (but in a good way). Literal lyrics similar to Lily Allen. FCC on #8 & #12 (f%$#). Try # 3, 5, 13.
1. Quirky, poppy, theatrical.
2. Sorta Siouxsie-esque, fun & popperific.
3.THE single…omnipresent and enjoyable.
4. The 2010 answer to No Doubt’s “I’m Just A Girl.”
5. Now we’re talking…unique & original, upbeat.
6. More moody, introspective, interesting.
7. Commentary on Hollywood….booooorrrrrriiiiingggg!
8. Another interesting track, with promise…FCC on bridge.
9. Quite poppy...intriguing but doesn’t deliver.
10. Pretty cool…more snarky and edgy. Has the word bitch in it if that’s not your bag.
11. Good poppy jangle, 80s vibe.
12. An “f*#$ you to an ex”…literally. Watch the FCC.
13. Slower, cool, Frankie Mercury style lyrics. Bridge sounds like the f-bomb but it’s “forgo.”
