Artist Close-Up: Marika Hackman Shows The Nuances Of Femininity
No JOKE! I am feeling Marika Hackman’s music. The Sub-Pop artist is lining up to release her debut album, I’m Not Your Man, and from the release of singles like, “My Lover Cindy”, Hackman is looking to bring a cool fire to the music scene like, watching blue ambers in awe. The songstress delves straight for feminine relationships with a simple honesty that makes the truth seem like the easiest thing we have never said.

According to Marika, “The record’s all about female relationships, romance and breakdowns, but there’s also a dim worldview going on. I’m Not Your Man can either mean, ‘I’m not your man, I’m your woman’, or it can mean, ‘I’m not a part of this…”. An intriguing and palpable notion because themes like sexuality and gender are needed discussions but also can turn into exhausting ones. Hence, Hackman recruited her best mates The Big Moon as a backing band to bring a sonic fire to social conversation. I have reviewed The Big Moon, and know they are excellent as musicians and fiery as personalities; thus, by association, I know Hackman’s tour will bring an equal amount of exuberance and realism. Similar to Sheryl Crow, Marika’s lyricism is laced with chords that reveal the continuity of the thoughts, decisions, and emotions that mold our presence in this world. For however good or bad, toxic or twilighted, or selfish or healing, we are as human beings, Marika covers all those spaces with music that epitomizes easy-listening is also intriguing.
