The East of England Arts Council via the Escalator Project is the vehicle that has made this long awaited album finally arrive. Obviously, with an incredible collection of music and lyrics just waiting to be heard and with the support and direction from the fantastic team at High Barn the end product could be described as "unbelievable". Only by actually holding the cover in your hand whilst listening to the tracks makes it real. Each of the 14 tracks stands out, reviewers constantly name different tracks as the one they love and fans that have had solid favourites over the years have found their loyalties now shifting from song to song.    The quality of Marina ’s live performance has been captured, recorded and enhanced by some very subtle instrumentation. With her distinctive voice the album producers realised they had found someone they really wanted to work with. They had the confidence to produce an album that delivers Marina 's vocal sound whole, with no sugar, no spice and certainly no tweaking in the studio. At Marina's request it was recorded just like it is and she has delivered on every song.

For those people around Marina nobody is shocked that she has created something like this, we have all been a long time listening to her and wondering why it was only a small circle of us that  knew that these beautiful songs existed.  

Who does she sound like ?  What kind of music is this ? Two constant questions, the only answer to come up with is "it depends who is listening", Marina has been told that she sounds like many different people so who knows, maybe she just sounds like herself!  Just take a little time to listen and decide for yourself. As for the music who really cares, but if you feel the need to file it in the appropriate place you could try; new folk, acoustic, country, rock or pop, or maybe it's just easy listening, but then again maybe it's not. However, something that this music is, is the kind you play to lift you up, or to create a mood, the kind you play when your friends come around to chill out on a Sunday afternoon drinking wine and eating great food. It is the kind of music that catches inside your head and makes you realise that life is an amazing thing.

Take the time to see Marina gigging in Norwich and other parts of East Anglia . Say hi and let her know what you think, give your opinion of what type of music it is, or who she sounds like or just come and say hello.

Keep checking back for the latest and thank you for reading this far!
