Marina Reclaims Her Crown on Princess of Power
On Princess of Power, Marina doesn’t just return—she ascends. Her sixth studio album is a dazzling, defiant statement: pop music can be playful, political, and profoundly personal, all at once. With theatrical flair and zero hesitation, she reintroduces herself not as a reinvented artist, but as one finally unbound.
From the first shimmer of synths on “Butterfly,” it’s clear this album isn’t here to play it safe. That track, with its gentle build and poetic vulnerability, feels like the spiritual opener to a record rooted in transformation. But don’t get too comfortable—by track two, Marina has traded elegance for edge.
“Cupid’s Girl” hits like a glitter bomb—danceable, cheeky, and entirely in control. It’s Marina at her most flirtatiously empowered, crafting hooks that feel both intimate and arena-ready. The production leans into electro-pop with touches of ‘80s nostalgia, but the lyrics are fresh, self-aware, and proudly feminine.
Then there’s “Cuntissimo”—an unapologetic power stomp that lives up to its name. It’s loud, fearless, and loaded with layered references to pop royalty and feminist icons. This isn’t a track for background listening; it demands volume and full attention. Marina isn’t asking permission anymore—she’s owning the room.
What makes Princess of Power stand out isn’t just its boldness, but its joy. There’s an undercurrent of celebration running through every beat. Whether she’s poking fun at romantic tropes or reflecting on aging with humor and heart, Marina embraces her full spectrum. The result is an album that feels alive—wildly imaginative, defiantly uncool, and all the more magnetic because of it.
The mid-section of the album plays with tone: “Adult Girl” balances emotional honesty with Marina’s signature wink, while “Holy Femme” delivers a slow-burning meditation on self-worth and spiritual autonomy. Each track adds another shade to the album’s evolving palette.
What’s clear by the final track is that Princess of Power isn’t just about reclaiming a title—it’s about rewriting the rules of pop femininity. Marina doesn’t fit the industry mold anymore, and that’s the point. Her independence—creatively and contractually—gives the album its pulse.
In a world still obsessed with youth and perfection, Princess of Power dares to be loud, mature, and gloriously weird. It’s a celebration of womanhood in all its contradictions: soft and sharp, sexy and silly, wise and wild. And most importantly, it’s fun as hell.
Rating: 8/10
Princess of Power isn’t just an album—it’s a throne room. And Marina sits at the center, bejeweled, unbothered, and absolutely in her element.
