Marina Diamandis, stage name Marnia and the Diamonds, is not even a year older than me but she has done pretty good for herself. She was ranked number two on the BBC Sound of 2010 poll list, coming second to Ellie Goulding (who I think is overrated).She started composing and producing using Garageband. Wait a second... I have Garageband! Oh yeah.. But what I don't have is her vocal range and that thing called talent? I think she's great and shouldn't be overlooked. Plus, she has a pretty face and odd artsy videos.
The original tracks are great but I am particularly a huge fan of some of the remixes that are floating out there in the blogosphere.
You know how a song is good but something happens and it makes it fabulous? For me that special moment happens when the song goes:
Oh my God, you look just like Shakira
No no, you’re Catherine Zeta
Actually, my name’s Marina
Your mind is just like mine
All filled up with things be-niiii-gn
The key change at the benign makes me feel a little levitation. Literally... Not only that, this song is the story of my life. If you don't live in Hollywood this may be foreign to you, but people are always telling me I look like Gisele Bundchen or Rachel McAdams. And I have to be like... Actually, my name's Yoshi. Such a crazy town...
Oh LOOOOOOOOORD! Levitation again.
Hope you enjoy as much as I do. Happy Monday after Pi day.
