Our Take

Embarking on a musical treasure hunt, Marina & The Diamonds delivers a gem of an album with "The Family Jewels." The Welsh singer-songwriter's debut release is a vibrant display of her eccentric charm and unapologetic attitude.

From the glittering pop anthem "I Am Not a Robot" to the introspective ballad "Obsessions," Marina's eclectic sound takes listeners on a whirlwind journey through her sparkling imagination. With influences ranging from 80s synth-pop to 60s girl groups, she creates a sonic landscape that is as diverse as it is infectious.

Lyrically, Marina is a master of wit and introspection, weaving tales of love, loss, and self-discovery with a sardonic twist. Tracks like "Oh No!" and "Mowgli's Road" showcase her clever wordplay and keen observations, while "Hermit the Frog" and "Shampain" delve into deeper themes of identity and personal growth.

Overall, "The Family Jewels" is a dazzling debut from an artist who is unafraid to push boundaries and challenge conventions. Marina & The Diamonds has crafted a musical gem that is equal parts playful and profound, marking her as a true diamond in the rough of the music industry. So grab your crown jewels and prepare for a wild ride with this quirky songstress.
