MARINA's newest album, Princess of Power is an emotional rollercoaster, with ups and downs — just like growing up and trying to unpack and heal from your own traumas. Does it have a happy ending though? Let’s take a listen.
Names
the names / were assigned to me
the cross i bear is heavier than light
a whisper, a hush / murmured devotion so shy the wind means to snatch it from us

Echoes in the Hall
excuses for late homework written on equally worn out sofas, skipped class and patch totals.
