Packed with mysterious allure and a keen sense of wonder, ‘Marzanna’ takes us into the kaleidoscopic, dreamy world of American singer Marianne Nowottny. A talented performer, Nowottny recently unveiled an album that reads like a tribute to some of her favourite artists and songs. Packed with a long lineup of covers, ‘Marzanna’ collects pieces by the likes of Kate Bush, David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Siouxsie and the Banshees, among others. Marianne’s dynamic, powerful vocals adapt to every style and delivery.
Ultimately, ‘Marzanna’ might be a tribute album, yet its aural matter feels inherently personal, as Nowottny interprets every song with unique and wholesome flair. The production is often quite eclectic, oscillating between dreamy pop soundscapes and soulful, jazz-flavoured pieces. In that sense, the record holds a great deal of elegance and escapism, allowing the listeners to fully immerse themselves in an alternative universe, one where Marianne’s nuanced artistry reigns supreme.
Battling with a series of obstacles along the way, like recordings getting lost due to hardware failure, ‘Marzanna’ eventually came to fruition, and it’s now available for everyone to enjoy. Delving deeper behind her work, Nowottny explains: “I found solace pouring myself into these songs, reaching out to musicians and personal friends around the world to collaborate.”
