In the Classic Style

It took awhile for me to decide if I liked Marina and the Diamonds — partly because her voice made me think of a cross between Regina Spektor and that chick from Evanescence, and partly because the album's sound is so chintzy to me. Like production-wise, if one of her songs was a dress, it would be from Forever 21 and made of flammable fabric and the sequins would fall off all the time and stay on the floor of your closet forever. Her material kind of doesn't need all the swishy layers? I wish all of her stuff sounded like this instead.



Update: I like this remix too:
