Emily Ingram discovers a reflective side to Stockton-based songwriter Marina Josephina on her debut track
There are a lot of late nineties/early noughties throwbacks these days. Low-rise jeans, ‘indie sleaze’ and tiny handbags (among other horrors) are all things that seem to be clawing their way back into the mainstream. With this in mind, reflective singer-songwriter Marina Josephina harkens back to a time when RnB artists ruled the airwaves – luckily, this callback is an altogether more positive one.
Fool Like Me is a tonic for those seeking something both soft and sharp: whilst the instrumentation of the track is a little over-the-top at points, Marina’s superb vocals carry it through to a pretty satisfying conclusion. Keep your ears to the ground… I’m sure we’ll be hearing more exciting things from her in the future.
