Our Take

Marlene Dietrich’s latest album “Strange Delight” is a bizarre and captivating journey into the depths of the legendary singer’s mind. Known for her sultry voice and enigmatic persona, Dietrich takes listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions with this record.

From the haunting opening track “Midnight Confessions” to the avant-garde masterpiece “Funky Town”, Dietrich showcases her versatility as an artist. Each song is a carefully crafted blend of jazz, blues, and cabaret, with Dietrich’s vocals effortlessly gliding over the intricate instrumentation.

Standout tracks include the soulful ballad “Lost in Translation” and the infectious earworm “Bubblegum Blues”. Dietrich’s lyrics are filled with wit and wisdom, exploring themes of love, loss, and existential dread with a unique blend of sincerity and camp.

The production on “Strange Delight” is top-notch, with lush arrangements and intricate soundscapes that create a dreamlike atmosphere. The album sounds like a lost gem from the golden age of Hollywood, with a modern twist that keeps it fresh and exciting.

Overall, “Strange Delight” is a must-listen for fans of classic Hollywood glamour and avant-garde music. Marlene Dietrich proves once again that she is a timeless icon, with a voice that can still captivate and enchant listeners after all these years. Sit back, relax, and let Dietrich take you on a journey through the strange and delightful world of her music.

About the artist

Marlene Dietrich

MARLENE DIETRICH: The Original Diva If you were to compile a list of the most iconic figures in music history, Marlene Dietrich would undoubtedly be near the top. The German-born actress and singer captivated audiences with her sultry voice, smouldering gaze, and undeniable charisma. But what truly set Dietrich apart was her fierce independence and avant-garde sensibility. From her early days performing in Berlin cabarets to her groundbreaking film roles in Hollywood, Marlene Dietrich defied categorization. She effortlessly blended elements of cabaret, jazz, and pop to create a sound that was uniquely her own. And her daring fashion choices - think sharp tailoring, leather gloves, and that infamous top hat - cemented her status as a style icon for generations to come. But it wasn't just Dietrich's looks and voice that made her a legend. It was her attitude. She fearlessly tackled taboo subjects in her music, from love and heartbreak to gender identity and politics. And her performances were nothing short of electrifying, with Dietrich commanding the stage with a presence that was equal parts seductive and defiant. So, if you're looking for a music artist who embodies glamour, rebellion, and unapologetic self-expression, look no further than Marlene Dietrich. With her timeless sound and fearless spirit, she's a true original - and a force to be reckoned with in the world of music.
