- 1. "Hurtful" by Erik Hassle: "The perfect pop song. I have been a huge fan of Hassle from the start. He has a flawless voice, live and on record."
- 2. "Walking the Cow" by Daniel Johnston: "This song is so beautiful. Most people wouldn’t listen to it, as it’s too DIY for the mainstream. It’s really rare, though; you can hear naivety, anxiety and sadness all at once in his voice. He is very childlike."
- 3. "The Girl and the Robot (Radio Mix)" by Röyksopp: "Genius production. The chord progressions kind of make my guts churn too, which is always a bonus."
- 4. "My Pet Lion" by Juliana Hatfield: "I’m interested in the rough, simple production. Her vocals have a frenetic feel to them, and the lyrics are messy and indulgent. She provokes the feeling of being totally out of control."
- 5. "Yflmd" by Giant Drag: "I like the grungy element to most of GD’s songs. Dark and menacing guitars, lush harmonies and a sleazy girlish vocal makes this song a favourite of mine."
- 6. "Drain the Blood" by The Distillers: "Even if this isn’t your style of music, you can’t deny the unique quality that is Brody Dalle’s voice. It’s so coarse and broken. I think it’s beautiful. She captures desolation."
- 7. "Jolene" by Dolly Parton: "Timeless, emotive and refined. I will never tire of it. I think few can capture the sensitivity and simplicity of human emotion the way that Dolly has."
- 8. "Alejandro" by Lady GaGa: "This is one of my favourite GaGa songs. For me, it symbolises everything that pop music should be."
- 9. "Jimmy" by M.I.A.: "She broke a lot of boundaries as a female artist: in production, subject matter and style. Unique!"

Customer Reviews
Wow!
Marina's choices reflect strongly on her own musical taste- but I'm surprised there's no Kate Bush on here! It seems I can hear her influence on Marina's style at times. But I love her choices. A lot of these bands/artists I'd never heard of before but she has chosen some amazing tracks. And her love of strong female vocals is really apparent here- which is just what I love about Marina herself and her music. Really to my taste. Great choices!
Cool
You can really see some of these songs reflected in Marina's own work. A mostly beautiful collection of songs...Well Done!
