Marina Celeste

Marina, angelic voice of Nouvelle Vague, to perform solo

PREVIEW: MARINA CELESTE
The Jazz Café

BREATHY French vocalist Marina Celeste may not be a household name.
But her voice, described by her
bandmates as the “sweetnessest”, is likely to be a bit more familiar.
Marina is one of the lead vocalists with French musical
collective Nouvelle Vague, who are known for their bossa-nova interpretations of
punk-rock, post-punk and new-wave songs.
Her own contributions have included a duet with The Specials’ Terry Hall on a cover of Our Lips Are Sealed.
But to see her away from Nouvelle Vague is a whole new experience.
And the curious can see Marina in the flesh as she makes her first headline appearance in support of new album The Angel Pop at the Jazz Cafe on September 17.
Her shows flit from original material to a selection of Nouvelle Vague classics such as Fade To Grey, O Pamela, Waves, Eisbear, A Forest and Sorry For Laughing.
Described as an album of “beautifully crafted pop and electro”, The Angel Pop is hailed as stylishly, undeniably French and in places reminiscent of Ennio Morricone’s cinematic soundscapes.
Judge for yourself.
