Foxes
are pleasantly appealing as the support act tonight.
The crowd are very much drawn in by the vocal
talents of Louisa Rose Allen, a very powerful
voice blending well over some hard hitting beats
at times.
A great warm up that are sure to be headline material,
give it a year or two, if not sooner!
Marina is on 30 minutes later, after a complete
set overhaul. An old television plays black and
white movie clips, while a pink neon heart is
lit up on the back wall with the words 'Electra
Heart' running through it.
The Wulfrun is only just pushing half full tonight,
but the crowd are buzzing regardless.
Marina opens with 'Homewrecker', a punchy, pop-style
song that the crowd enjoys thoroughly.The first
track is quickly followed up with 'Oh No!' and
then back to her first album 'Family Jewels' for
'Mowgli's Road'.
A
quick costume change into a pink version, similar
to the first outfit which consists of a cropped
top and a skirt. We are thrown into 'Power And
Control', of which Marina definitely has both
over the crowd here in Wolverhampton tonight.
Other tracks performed to perfection this evening
include: 'Bubblegum Bitch', a slightly more guitar
influenced pop song and 'Starring Role', a slower
but poignant track, rocked up a little towards
the end for a live performance. I much prefer
Marina's latest offering for the album 'Electra
Heart' as it comes across a little more energetic
than the previous 'Family Jewels'. However all
in all the performance and atmosphere tonight,
even with a small crowd has been 100% energetic,
pop-influenced fun: absolute perfection!
Foxes 4/5
Marina And The Diamonds 5/5
