While you might know Marina Josephina for her militancy in Middlesborough’s kaleidoscopic outfit The Lulas, the young songstress is first and foremost a gifted songwriter, a quality that’s particularly clear in her solo debut, the nuanced and poignant offering ‘Fool Like Me’. In it, the keen listener will catch an alternative glimpse into Josephina’s artistry, swapping indie-charged guitars and dazzling synths for a more RnB-flavoured arrangement.
Needless to say, the results are absolutely stunning: over a soulful and groovy neo-soul framework, Marina shares emotional and personal lyricism, so well delivered by her evocative and luscious vocals, fully capturing the listener’s attention and expanding their charming character over a three-minute compelling sonic journey. A collaboration with esteemed producer Mark Walker, ‘Fool Like Me’ is a revelation: Marina Josephina is now a flourishing artistic reality, and we are confident we’ll be hearing more material soon.
Sharing insights behind the song, the British talent explains: The song was a cathartic process for me. Looking back now, it’s as if the melody and lyrics wrote themselves. I honestly didn’t expect I’d share it with anyone. I completely let myself go and allowed myself to reflect on the trauma that evidently changed me and my understanding of the world forever.”
