A great pop record is like a great friend: an intimate confidante, a shoulder to cry on, and a partner in crime when you’re ready to get dolled up and dance the pain away under the disco ball (or in front of your bedroom mirror.) That’s what you’ll find from Marci – the solo alias for Marta Cikojevic (of Montreal soft-rock group TOPS). Marci’s stepped out on her own in self-assured style with a guileless collection of synth pop songs that brim with unabashed sincerity. Alongside longtime collaborator David Carriere (TOPS, Born At Midnite), Marci crafts music that sounds warm and vintage, touching on musical hallmarks of hit songs of the past, but also sharply futuristic.
