Marina Satti - YENNA (2022) Hi-Res

In 2017, Marina Satti went off the beaten track with a first title called "Mantissa" which allowed her to count more than 45 million views on YouTube to date. Following this, the multidisciplinary Greek-Sudanese artist has been able to maintain her share of mystery with her style that is both bewitching and unorthodox for many years. It's time for the Athens native to step out of the norm with the release of her first solo album, Yenna.

Very quickly, we are fascinated by the iconoclastic musical universe of Marina Satti. By mixing tradition and modernity, Mediterranean pop tinged with laïkó and avant-garde electronica will take us to the furthest reaches with "Yati Pouli M'" carefully setting the scene before being guided by the wavering "Pali" speaking of the emancipation of women in Balkan and Greek societies or even the hypnotics “Kritiko” and “Ase Me Na Figo”.

It is essential for Marina Satti to evoke the importance of getting closer to her roots to better build herself and this Yanna is proof of this. With her solemn interpretation and her vaporous atmospheres reminiscent of both Sevdaliza and FKA Twigs on poetic moments such as "Adii Dromi" and "Spirto Ke Venzini", the Greek-Sudanese artist proves to be touching and fascinating throughout this first album. . It was enough for the traditional songs to resonate on the vibrant conclusion called "Miroloi" where Marina Satti can claim her origins on this Yenna which is the testament of this dazzling and exciting ascent.
