Le Marina is a dual personality songwriter. Or rather, Le Marina is an imaginary duo made up of mirror versions of the same artist, Marina obviously, born not by chance under the sign of Gemini. That’s why, despite being a soloist, her name is preceded by a plural article.
Libera is her debut EP, out today May 8, 2020 via the English label The Sound Of Everything.
The minimal sound of Le Marina has been defined future trip hop, influenced by the historic scene of Bristol captained by Massive Attack but also by the contemporary nu-R&B of FKA twigs or the intimate electro-songwriting of Tirzah. It’s a bipolar sound, which can be as romantic as it is macabre. Libera contains six songs in coherent succession with each other, from the intriguing teaser-intro I Found A VHS to the shady sinuosity of the single Say It Sad (watch the brand new video here), I’ll Never Love You and Dead End. Until the experimental Trauma and the cathartic You Decide. Enjoy your listening!
