Carmen Marie is the amalgamation of a genre defying singer/songwriter hailing from Croydon, London, where emotive honesty and a sense of rawness distinguishes her as a writer. With influences heavily drawn to Neo Soul, Carmen’s personifying soulful tone and personal capture of melodic ‘alternative’ slow jams give the ever-evolving singer the ambiguity beyond that of a conventional artist.
Carmen’s appreciation does not just stop with singing as she gives admiration for the productions of artists like ‘6lack’ and ‘Russ’ as well as her own captivation for live instrumentation and synthesizer sounds.
With the release of her single ‘Hopeless’ in 2018, this relevant yet impeccably vulnerable song found its way onto Spotify ‘Release Radar’ and ‘Discover Weekly’ testimony to her ability to express a song with layers of emotional daze and purity.
