On this week's episode of Popular Music: The Podcast, Analise
and Steven chat about the genius that is Marina and the Diamonds
and her early single, "I Am Not A Robot." They dissect the
smorgasbord arrangement of genres that the song employs (baroque
pop anyone?) and why Marina's lyrical musings on vulnerability are
so very important even now, seven years on.
No guilt. Only pleasure. Popular Music is a pop music podcast
hosted by Steven Ray Morris and Analise Nelson. New episodes every
Monday.
