Marina - "Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land"

I'm having a big revival with this album again this last week or so. New America is that deranged capitalist-shaming bop, Purge is a KILLER single (I mean, it's relentless) and yes, Goodbye is her best song in years and years.

I've had to sell my ticket to the Brussels gig which makes me VERY SAD because the American leg of this tour looks absolutely divine.

FORGET live on the Froot Tour was genuinely one of my favourite live moments in any concert by anyone ever
 
it's back on the setlist for Ancient Dreams and I REALLY want to go so I might have to snatch a ticket for the Hague show and go alone...

LOVE to see the LOVE for Shampain. a very underrated banger and one of her big 'should've been a single' moments.

I will do my own imminently but this looks mostly GREAT.

Bubblegum Bitch's absence has been noted however :kim:
 
I'm a recent convert to Bubblegum Bitch. I do really like it now but I reasoned I had enough bangers from miss Electra Heart already. FORGIVE ME DARLING.
 
Baby is fun, but coming off that run of Symphony, Rockabye and the brilliant Solo, it felt a touch lightweight.
 
oh I love me some Rockabye in all its working mum baiting idiocy. you find the school fee and the bus fare indeed. :eyes:

love that Ina Wroldsen wrote it as something personal and emotional and then Clean Bandit took it, replaced her with ANNE MARIE and slapped Sean Paul on just for the lols. the nerve! the gall!

It makes me laugh in the same way as the dance cover of Fast Car from a few years ago
 
Clean Bandit has a bunch of good songs imo, but they’ll never top Rather Be
 
The best thing about Clean Bandit is the one who bongs the drums.

Rather Be is alright too but it certainly calls for a certain mood.
 
Rather Be and the other (forgotten) Jess Glynne one, Real Love, are great. Clean Bandit had a killer run until they lost it.
 
I like the one that plays the CELLO, going by the name of Grace Chatto. What a Queen.
