MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS – HOLLYWOOD (679 RECORDINGS/WARNERS)
This in theory is the kind of record I ordinarily hate. There seems to be nothing genuine in the article. The girl is indeed beautiful but her warbling traits really ruin the picture. Not only do they not fit the face but they also come over as truly insincere as a result. Also the story being told attached to the tale of the song sounds just plain ridiculous. There is no way I should be buying into this. Unfortunately however I am.
With warbles that appear to suggest some kind of female Bryan Ferry, despite the load of old toss that are the lyrics it is a very catchy and infectious pop song. This just might be the female chart equivalent of being persuaded into doing something very bad by a pretty face.
At the moment I’m struggling to decide whether this girl is a truly innovate (innovatively marketed) artiste with a genuinely distinct voice or if she is a polished up version of Hazel O’Connor or Lene Lovich. The whole “Hollywood” spiel raises a few questions suggesting that she both sees it for what it is but also still yearns a piece of that pie.
Her looks will get her everywhere. Welcome to this year’s Lovefoxxx.
