Marina & The Diamonds- The Family Jewels.

Posted on by

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 🙂

The xx Live.

Before I put the link, The xx have had to cancel some shows due to the sad passing of Romy’s dad. No idea when/if the dates are being re-scheduled, but to be honest, it isn’t that important. What’s important is Romy being alright and stuff. I tried to type this without sounding like a twat. Hopefully it worked. The dates are a few European ones.

This clip is actually going to be on Channel 4 in 5 minutes….but nobody will actually see this, so here’s the link :

Brits And Shit!

I didn’t watch the Brits last night as I was drunk somewhere. BUT, Flo got Best Album…I got drunk in celebration for her haha 🙂

Ellie Goulding is putting out a vinyl EP kind of thing which is going to be AMAZING!

I haven’t seen her or Flo’s speech from last night, I really want to!

I’ve developed an (unhealthy) diet of Super Noodles. It’s not going to end well is it.

Sorry about not posting much..not much internet access and the like!

Eliza Doolittle.

For every singer that is tipped to be big, there’s always one or two that are slightly ignored. I don’t like that. I particularly don’t like this happening to singers or bands that I love.

Eliza Doolittle is beautiful and talented. I’m sure some twit will compare her to Kate Nash just because it’s easy to lump them all with the same comparison every bloody time!

This is her cover of Creep by Radiohead. I’m not a fan of Radiohead to be honest, and I do love this cover. The emotion in her voice and the setting…it’s just wonderful.
