Yes!! I see Imogen as the cornerstone of this genre. Watch "Must Be Dreaming" (Frou Frou) and "Door" (Caroline) you'll see the parallels and homages :)
As I've gotten older. I've really struggled with the concept of my own talent and how amazing everyone is . ... to see someone who I know is immensely creative and talented show us that she is also human and needs to practice and get in the zone. To see your admiration and love for another artists work and to bring your own twist to it ... it's the most pure beautiful feeling in humanity. This really helped me seeing your process. Thank you please keep it up!
This! And also that each person has their own individual talents to contribute. Imogen might have struggled with the song, but I thought the ending with all those layered vocals was INCREDIBLE. I like that part better than the studio version.
The few people commenting that imogen struggled etc need to consider she was covering multiple songs from different styles. Basically sight reading piano music is hard enough but to add singing into that while performing is insanely difficult. Plus imogen is a mature woman!!! She sounded amazing and her skill enough had me smiling with glee bc I love her so so much. She’s so talented and paved the way for artists like Caroline and charli xcx and even Ariana grande who is a massive fan of hers. This was all for fun and her ‘meltdown’ was part of the show!
Regardless she sounded pretty good to me. She might do better with enunciating the words in a slower way so that she can hold the notes better, but like you said playing piano and singing is hard😅. I can still see her killing it as a cover it would truly be amazing 😀
This was the most soothing thing, to see someone whos incredibly talented show humanity & show their process of learning a new song. More of this please!
I just found out about Caroline recently and immediately linked her to Imogen which i'm a huge fan since the early 2000s... Ran to youtube to find if caroline made an imogen cover but Its the other way around apparently. This is so wonderful!!!
How I never knew this happened is beyond me……Caroline‘a new si glow blood and butter gave me huge imogen vibes so I’m I credibly happy she donated for her to cover a song of hers !!!!!
I think that you sound good.... loved watching......From Virginia small town Staunton, yes very Southern.....I love your music it made me cry.....when you have a Broken Heart those words tough the HEART......would buy.....
Imogen is fantastic, I’ve seen her live like 4 times and every time has been a joy. She’s so unpretentious and genuine, tbf this was a joy to watch, it’s just kind of like hanging out with Immi and watching her spend some free time at the piano. Iconic. She’s a treasure.
Imogen I've been a fan of yours since I was 16! I feel in love with your music. When I first heard Caroline's music reminded me so much of you! So happy to see you cover her music
Your music was a big part of my teenage hood ~ You two must make music together and show this world your talents! I also can't wait to see what new music you will make :) lots of love
there are some amazing clips where immi forgets the lyrics to her song WHATEVER and it’s amazing and funny and touching. it was at an itunes festival maybe 10 years ago.
I was going to comment something normal like "She's trying her best!" or whatever and then I realised that the channel posting this is Marina And The Devil, so now this whole video is tainted with that knowledge. Godspeed, you wonderful bastard.
I think she was doing 7 hour marathon covers for a fundraiser and Caroline actually donated money for her to cover this…Caroline stands trying to make it seem like something else edited it to just the cover and put ridiculous out of context titles. She was having a sort of “breakdown” about almost all the songs she was doing in those long marathon hours, needing warm ups etc. but she is literally just crowdsourcing and tinkering.
People should keep in mind that Caroline herself had a real pianist transcribe and teach her during practice, her own song in a piano rendition/version and CP would sound no different (if anything as a first take for Imogen, it clearly showcases that IH is also naturally the better pianist…I mean she was playing for 7 hours or something straight here over the course of a few days). And it was very smart of Caroline and her team at Sony to know how much people compare the two and strategically donate to Imogen in order to cover her song. Please don’t try to take one performance out of a marathon context where IH is clearly reading and running through a song entirely for the first time. No doubt when Caroline was practicing her piano version, she had many stumbles before it was recorded.
All the people really calling this a mental breakdown are simply ignorant and, crass. You’ve obviously *NEVER* been apart of any kind of creative process. Take a hike please.
