Theme Song Squared
April 3, 2009To continue the theme of theme songs and favorites in general, today’s song may seem sad and lonely but to me it’s empowering.
Kate Nash’s “Mariella” is a theme that has been on repeat for months now.
It’s about a girl who, “glues her lips together” and defies expectation, well that’s this girls take anyway.
Nash is compared to Lilly Allen, a fellow Brit, with powerful writing abilities but Nash’s sound goes beyond Allen’s punks hidden in pop.
Her arrangements while popish have harmonious grit. The depth displayed in “Mariella” with the simple opening of the clashing piano and cymbal, which replaced with a frenzied piano and the competing banging and clapping rhythm is a perfect accompaniment to her strong frayed voice and her passionate words.
