In her interview with Rolling Stone, Marina discusses her sixth album, "Princess of Power," which she describes as a lesson in learning to love again. The album showcases a transformation from sadness to empowerment through tracks inspired by disco pop legends like ABBA and Kylie Minogue. While the album emphasizes fun and dance, some critiques arise regarding its overproduced nature and reliance on familiar clichés. Standout tracks like 'Rollercoaster' and 'I <3 You' highlight themes of love and self-discovery, but risk feeling one-dimensional in their execution.
It can sound trite, but the ability to love is so powerful and brave... Princess of Power is about teaching yourself—or re-teaching yourself—how to love.
The one-size-fits-all tracks feel like they rolled off a conveyor belt, and the writing sometimes tips into childlike cliché.
Princess of Power is preoccupied with dancing and fun, practically a B-side that breaks out of Rapunzel's tower to enter a Venusian disco haven.
Like any disco-pop album, the album explores themes of liberation, exemplified by the anthem 'Rollercoaster', daydreaming about skinnydipping and sex on the beach.
