Marta Ren, Summer's Gone

Marta Ren is a wild and burly voice and the way it contrasts with the soul/rocksteady sound, very characteristic in the 60's, is really catchy and interesting.

Even though, her first music steps were taken with bands like Sloopy Joe, Bombazines and the cover band The Funkalicious - who, essentially, performed songs from Aretha Franklin to James Brown, Marta Ren is now giving her steps as a solo artist.

About the recording sessions for her album, it's possible to see how much it respected the 60 and 70's old school methods, preserving all the typical sonority very used during those times. Along the way, the artist counted with New Max - better known for being part of Expensive Soul.

The best proof of this hard work is the first single Summer's Gone. The song reflects a very joyful and easy-going beat that conquests everyone for being so fresh and original.

This is a great example of the quality that we have in Portugal, artists like this should be widely revealed to the world, it's a pity if others don't see Marta Ren too.

"You passed me by 
You didn't seem real
Suppose I'm digging
To get my dream"
