Having rough life experiences, particularly at an early age, can have quite devastating effects on musicians/artists, or such experiences can make them grow and refine their art, particularly if they find the best way to them out of trouble.
British singer-songwriter Lisa Marini seems not only to have found her way out of early life troubles (on the streets at the age of 12, and in a drug raid at the age of 15), but a way to straighten out her life and infuse all the positive conclusions into her music.
Now she is coming up with her second, self-produced album Buried Town, that not only draws on a wide musical palette but is also a complex set of songs, with Marini doing everything here, from the writing, recording, and production, to the artwork and visuals.
Yet, Marini doesn’t lack in any of the aspects of artistic work here, particularly her songwriting and musical performance which are all nuanced and detailed with an exceptional melodic sense. All the complex vocal detail Marini puts in front of herself, she handles with such ease, as if it was her 12th, not second album. Still, it is her exceptional songwriting here that shines the most and presents Marini as an artist that should definitely be watched out for.
