Marina + The Diamonds NYC Concert Review

Like Florence and the Machine, oddly enough I discovered Marina off the same blog or several blogs and both shows were basically only a few weeks apart from each other. I saw Marina first in March, then Florence in early April. Marina didn't have as much of a band as Florence did, yet they were completely different. Marina dips more into pop music slightly more than Florence and Marina also has a more 'electronica' sounds than Florence who is more hard drums.

But they are both extremely unqiue in every way possible. Instead of making this blog entry a compare + contrast essay, I will write about my experience with Marina. When I first discovered Marina, the first song of hers was the music video I saw called "Hollywood." Right away I was taken back by her beauty and voice that resembled Gwen Stefani. The other songs I admit took a few listens to become obsessed, but when I did it was over.

She is so mesmorizing to watch in person between her looks and the way in which she sings/performs I had to see her twice. I saw her in Brooklyn which was more of an intimate venue which in my opinion was better than the show in nyc and it was also different in several ways. The one in Brooklyn marked her first show in the US and in NYC so there was a lot of press there and photogs. She just looked flawless, compared to the one in the city, she still looked nice but def not the same. I would say she was more serious at the Brooklyn concert and the one in the city she was way more friendly and talkitive to the audience.

My fav songs are: "Guilty", "Hollywood" "Roothless" "The outsider" "Oh no" "Robot" "Shapaign" and sooo many more. I think I liked Marina more than Florence but it would of been diff if Florence actually had more volume added to her mic. I can't wait till she comes back to the US this summer hopefully! Her album hits the US in May!
