Tracks such as album opener, the unashamedly melodic 'Alphabet Block', nods to contemporary pop artists; think an electro-pop fusion between La Roux and Kylie. 'Girls' expertly creates the immediacy of Ladyhawke's best work, with 'Electric Youth' channeling 80's mall pop; a glorious guilty pleasure and one of the stand-out tracks on the album. Introspection comes in the form of the shoegaze-inspired 'A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night', giving the air of an unreleased b-side from a cult vampire movie, while forthcoming single Lost Maps is a pop classic in the making; a single that should be heard on dance floors all over the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eInfluenced by life, love, loss, politics and all things 80's pop, Marnie has created an album that has an intelligence and a depth behind what, on the surface, is a melodic contemporary pop record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlphabet Block\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBloom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eG.I.R.L.S\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectric Youth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Girl Walks Home Alone At Night\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLost Maps\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSummer Boys\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLittle Knives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInvisible Girl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeartbreak Kid\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55156466712961,"sku":"707500","price":9.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51U_na3E4WL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767933848","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/707500","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
