Finally Marina’s debut album is out today. I no longer have to play the EP over and over wishing and waiting for an album. It is finally out and I am currently listening to my favourite album of the year. Of course this will more than likely change next week when Ellie Goulding’s album comes out. So I shall just say, before I go into some kind of detail of how amazing The Family Jewels is, that this year- is a good year for debut albums. Lights and The Family Jewels are going to be the best albums you will hear this year.
The album opens with Are You Satisfied? which SHOULD be a single, but I’ve heard that Oh No! is the next release-it doesn’t matter what the next single is because this album is beautiful from start to finish. I remember hearing about Marina early last year and just finding as many songs as I could by her. One was Hermit The Frog, which I’m happy is on the album. I love her track, Porn Is Good For The Soul but sadly, it isn’t on the album. There’s a different version of Hollywood and of course I Am Not A Robot and Obsessions are on there.
Basically, you need to go out and buy this album. There is not a bad track on there at all. I know it’s a brief review but you really don’t need me to throw a bunch of descriptive words around. It’s a fantastic album, so go out and buy it 🙂
