Watch “Cuntissimo” by MARINA – EQ Music Blog
With “Butterfly,” Marina truly captivated me, and “Cupid’s Girl” further deepened my appreciation for her artistry. What surprised me, however, is her latest album teaser, “Cuntissimo.” Above all, this bold move is a testament to her willingness to explore and innovate by coining a unique word. It’s intriguing to see her push creative boundaries in this way. Additionally, her decision to draw inspiration from the LGBTQ+ community showcases her awareness and connection to her passionate fanbase. It’s a candid expression that mirrors the openness of artists like Chappell Roan. Let’s be real—we can’t allow Marina to fall behind in the pantheon of gay icons, can we?
Notably, power, sexuality, and desirability resonate strongly as defining themes in this dynamic new era. Moreover, in the midst of this cultural shift, “Cuntissimo” emerges as a powerful anthem celebrating independence, paying homage to the bold women who unapologetically claim their identities and desires. With vivid lyrical imagery like “Salma Hayek in the sun” symbolizing confidence and allure, and “Louise and Thelma on the run” evoking the spirit of adventure and freedom. The song encapsulates a movement where women embrace their strength and assert their place in the world.
The music video, masterfully directed by Olivia de Camps, presents a stunning platinum-blonde Marina as she, with her vibrant group of friends, playfully explores the opulent halls and lush gardens of an exquisite chateau. Against a backdrop of crystal chandeliers and beautifully adorned rooms, Marina exudes an electrifying feminine energy, captivating viewers with her bold charisma and infectious sense of freedom. Their camaraderie shines through as they revel in the lavish surroundings, creating an unforgettable celebration of friendship and empowerment.
“So often, women don’t think they’re allowed to feel their sexuality in a way that doesn’t involve how it looks for men,” says MARINA. “They feel that it’s been co-opted – I would love to be able to free younger women of that, the feeling that our bodies don’t quite belong to us.”
It’s clear that this new song captivated the audience during MARINA’s Coachella main stage performance yesterday, with fans instantly spellbound by the powerful femme empowerment anthem. Excitingly, Marina is set to take the stage again next Friday, April 18th, for the second weekend. I have no doubt that by then, the crowd will be chanting “Cuntissimo” with even more enthusiasm and vigour.
MARINA’s sixth studio album, “Princess of Power” is out 6th of June and is available to pre-order/save HERE
