‘I Said I’m Fine’ is the second single from the prodigious Marlene Larsen. It’s a bold soft rock track that tips the scale into pure rock every now and then for effect and it works like a charm. The wellspring of inspiration sits in that 90s pool of greatness. The tones, the effort in the vocals, the power of the bass and the touches of chorus here and there scream 90s and they scream it loud and proud. ‘I Said I’m Fine’ takes that power and hones it, refines it, takes it down to a comfortable level … but only to spring a trap. It all shoots back in the blink of an eye, a sound that could break down walls, level an ideal, and bring a stadium to its feet.
Marlene Larsen has a fire for this kind of music. It’s a passionate sound, but it’s not crying about it. Instead, it takes that passion and pushes it into the melody. The songs she writes flow with this powerful swing. They change when they want to, grow when they need to. It’s not about the norm, it’s not about what you think. It’s her sound, and I love it because of that. This is music the likes of which you will not hear anywhere else. It’s classic in its core and shiny new everywhere else. With ideas like these and a vocal tone to match, there will be no stopping the steady climb of Marlene Larsen. I’m sure of it.
