Watch “Butterfly” by MARINA – EQ Music Blog
As the enchanting pop goddess MARINA began teasing her long-awaited return to music earlier this month, my heart soared with anticipation. I’ve been on the edge of my seat, craving a fresh dose of her ethereal sound. Notably ever since she was announced as a supporting act for Kylie Minogue at her breathtaking Hyde Park headline show last year. When that moment came and went without new music to accompany it, I was left feeling a bit bewildered. The intrigue deepened when MARINA unveiled her collection of evocative poems, “Eat The World,” in October. Thus prompting even more questions about her next artistic move. Although she has alluded in 2024, to the promise of a sixth album. The silence surrounding its arrival has only heightened the excitement.
In reality, all it took for MARINA was a fleeting sound byte to cast an enchanting spell over me. No one quite embodies alt-pop like she does; her distinctive style has firmly etched her mark in the musical landscape. With her celestial voice, she continually evolves, bringing us fresh and captivating experiences that depart from her previous works. At the outset of her new track “Butterfly,” it feels predictably MARINA. Yet, as the chorus unfolds, she surprises us with an exhilarating twist—a child-like, manipulated vocal that brilliantly captures the essence of the butterfly.
The narrative of the song beautifully unfolds a tale of transformation and the reclamation of personal power. Invites listeners to embrace authenticity and pursue their ambitions. Noticeably, Marina has a remarkable gift for weaving fairytale-like elements into her music, and “Butterfly” is a shining testament to this enchanting style.
In a delightful reward for our anticipation, MARINA presents us with a breathtaking music video directed by Aerin Moreno. This elegantly crafted visual masterpiece captures her at her most captivating, radiating a beauty that feels both ethereal and goddess-like. The choreography is nothing short of stunning, embodying a liberating sense of freedom and inner peace that perfectly complements the spirit of the song.
