After the roaring response to her breathtaking debut EP ‘Nocturnal Eyes’ last September, LA’s Marina Vanoff found herself as one of the more exciting talents on the rise. Taking her cues from the wistful shoegaze aesthetic and rebranding it for a commercial audience, her run of releases since have been incredibly well-received as she continues to develop her sound as often as possible. And with her previous effort ‘Carousel’ garnering a strong reception, she looks to continue that pursuit with her spellbinding new single ‘Chino’.
Venturing towards a more ethereal ambition this time around, ‘Chino’ makes for an incredibly absorbing listen from start to finish. With her warm and lofty vocals spread across this captivating atmosphere throughout, she is returning to us with one of her more alluring efforts to date.
Described as a “melancholic anthem for anyone who has ever experienced the intense anger and sadness of heartbreak”, ‘Chino’ perfectly adopts that tragic emotion and buries it right to the core. With her songwriting cultivating some beautifully tender moments as well, Marina Vanoff is firing on all cylinders with this emotive new gem.
It has certainly been an incredibly inventive time for her recently, but ‘Chino’ really stands out within her repertoire to date. Building upon her illustrious tenure to unveil some truly powerful textures, she remains a strong and captivating addition to today’s new music scene.
