London-based R&B artist Marcia is back with a bang, delivering a powerful message of self-respect and liberation in her latest single, 'Ghost'. Released last month, the track sees Marcia confront a toxic relationship head-on, choosing self-worth over endless excuses.
Recorded in London with producer Alex Dopierala, 'Ghost' pulsates with raw emotion, reflecting the personal experience that fuelled its creation. Marcia's velvety vocals, reminiscent of her influences Amy Winehouse and Summer Walker, glide over lush instrumentation, creating a hauntingly beautiful soundscape. Mixed in Scotland and mastered at the iconic Metropolis Studios, the production quality elevates the song's emotional impact.
"I went into the studio and said 'we need to make a fuck you track'," Marcia explains, recalling the anger and frustration that inspired the song. After a particularly disrespectful encounter with a long-term casual partner, she decided enough was enough. "It's about seeing someone for who they really are… and finally choosing yourself when you've always chosen them."
This cathartic anthem marks a significant step in Marcia's burgeoning career. Having already graced stages at The Troubadour and Box Park, she's steadily building a name for herself in the UK R&B scene. Previous releases have garnered praise from the likes of EARMILK, who described her music as a "cathartic and captivating experience," and Dulaxi, who likened her vocals to "sweet honey dripping, a symphony of angels."
With 'Ghost', Marcia continues to demonstrate her ability to transform personal pain into powerful art. The track is a testament to her growth as an artist and an individual, solidifying her status as a rising star in the world of R&B. As she puts it herself, 'Ghost' is about "finally ghosting that fuckboy."
