MARELLA’S NEW INDIE-FOLK JAM “SALEM” FEELS LIKE AN LA SUMMER

Though new to the area, Marella has encapsulated the summer of LA summers in indie-folk song form. His latest hit, “Salem,” will make you want to romanticize the mundane, appreciating everything life offers without trying much.

Lyrically, Marella’s approach takes personal experiences, adding specific moments to make everything more relatable. As learned by head honchos like Taylor Swift, the more personal details, the better for the audience. People want to feel connected to singer-songwriter types, so this form of storytelling hits the nail.

Instrumentally, Marella pulls from a lot of references. There’s a touch of Bob Dylan but also a splash of The 1975. He does an impeccable job of creating a place where his voice fits comfortably, incorporating underutilized instruments like a harmonica to get the job done.

“Salem” is an explorative, authentic self-expression presentation that will reach broad audiences.
