At last night’s first-ever American gig, the Welsh chanteuse put a charming yet seductive spell on 400 overzealous Brooklynites. Performing the vast majority of her brilliant debut album, The Family Jewels, Marina proved why she’s already a sensation overseas and is one of the major buzz acts at this year’s SXSW Festival. Simultaneously confident & charismatic on stage, Marina’s undoubtedly one of the most clever and engaging pop stars I’ve had the pleasure of seeing in a live setting. Official TMS Rating: 9/10.
