Six months after the first album, Marina Sena is one of the great attractions of Lolla 2022

lady of success “Supposedly”which took over the radio and social networks at the end of 2021, Marina Sena will play for the first time at a major festival in Lollapalooza 2022, which started this Friday (25th) and continues until Sunday (27th).

Although it is a cliché, it is true to say that Marina left the interior of Minas Gerais and went to the world. Born in Taiobeiras, she has more than 4 million views on her most successful video on YouTube and will perform in Europe throughout the month of April.

“I was shocked,” she said in conversation with CNN, about his reaction when he learned that he would perform in countries like England, Denmark and Germany. “I get a video of a song of mine playing on the radio there,” she said.

To serve the public – which grows daily – Marina began to create increasingly elaborate performances. With more instruments, fancy costumes and even dancers, the singer is excited by the increased interest in seeing her live.

“There came a point in the shows when I said: ‘I need to turn this into a show’. It’s not just me singing for the crowd anymore”, she said when she realized that her newly conquered status as a “pop diva” comes with new demands.

For Lollapalooza, she promises even more changes on stage. “It will be a more elaborate show in all aspects. All the edges of the show are going to be more elaborate, visually mainly. THEI think a lot of things will seem bigger like that, right?”, he described in a relaxed tone, which is typical of his speech.

Marina Sena was announced during the release of the second line-up, which changed after a two-year period of canceled festival due to the Covid-19 pandemic. For her, the invitation was a validation of the success that the songs from her first solo album, “De Primeira”, had achieved. “I was thrilled that I will be at Lollapalooza. It hasn’t even been six months since I released my first record,” she said.

I’m completely blown away by these things, it’s like validation that people are really understanding what you’re doing, you know? There are people hugging, it’s going on.

Despite her rapid rise, Marina had to face offensive comments on the internet, which mainly attacked the timbre of her voice. When asked about it, she shrugged her shoulders and said, “I think I look great, you know? I pumped, I made money, I did what I wanted.” The comments have affected her more in the past, but, according to her, they no longer make a difference.

For the future, there is no stopping point: for Marina, the rest of the way is just uphill. The singer says that she already has another album “up her sleeve”, but no prediction of when it will be released. “I have some new songs coming out that are very poppy. But it’s not the pop you’d expect, it’s my pop, the pop that I captured,” she said.

According to Marina Sena herself, her future is “bomb”.

I trust my intuition about my songs. I knew, for example, that ‘Por Supuesto’ would be the one that would rock the most.
