Track Review: Marjana Semkina: Mermaid Song

‘With such dramatic beauty in every aspect, it’s near impossible to not drown in the evocative atmosphere Marjana creates.’

‘For me, songwriting is about getting out thoughts and emotions that sometimes you don’t even know you have.’

‘Soft vocals and delicate musicality results in a track that’s beautifully understated yet full of impact.’

‘The influences on my lyrics could be anything: a book, a political event or something in my personal life.’

‘Lena’s gorgeously resonant tone balances precision with reflective, story-filled musicality.’

‘It was everything we had hoped for: cathartic, moving and musically magical.’

‘People are waking up to her sound and you should be too.’
