Twisted, a completely artistic project
7 Billon, The Whole 9, Twisted…. All these videos have been released that demonstrate the singer's ability to establish a real universe built and thought out, both enchanting and evocative. For this album, Marina Kaye wanted to develop strong clips "to put sensational in the music and in the visuals". And it is Jean-Charles Charavin who directs The Whole 9. The collaboration is going wonderfully and the young singer is delighted to make an album on her terms, surrounded by collaborators who listen and ready to let her express herself. Marina Kaye's message is clear, she advocates openness to others and integrity:
"My career is something I want to do throughout my life and I think that if you haven't changed yourself to suit the codes, you can be proud of yourself and accomplished, and that's the message I'm trying to convey."
More than a voice, the young singer turned woman, brings the idea that her lyrics are the direct representation of her creative and honest state of mind, authentic and far from seeming. However, Marina Kaye is sometimes perceived as a soul in pain, saddened and making her business the most desperate songs. However, as she points out:
"If I manage to sing on subjects as strong as revenge and sadness it is precisely to show that I have passed over it!"
The subjects of his songs are a way to invite his audience to make peace with oneself and to show that bad feelings are good to explore. The music video for 7 Billion delights romantic souls with the gentle expression of feelings as violent as love, both tormenting and intoxicating. Marina Kaye's poetry works according to a principle not autotelic but charged with direct and limpid meanings for the listener. He just has to let himself be carried away by the sensory adventure offered by Marina Kaye. Between the pleasures of hearing charmed by his voice and enchantment in front of the images deployed in the clips. Thus, Twisted confirms the professional character of the young woman, as shown by her live sequences as intense as ever, as well as the solidity of her texts and video clips edited to be the artistic extension of Marina Kaye's intentions. Those of being a perpetual sonic and visual delight in addition to being a young woman sure of herself and her values. Freedom firmly pegged to the body, Marina Kaye continues her career as an artist stronger than ever. Discover another of our interviews, that of Michel Vuillermoz, a great French actor.
