Perfume - Marilyn Monroe

Review by Gustavo Marin

The album Marilyn Monroe by Perfume is a tribute to the iconic Hollywood actress and cultural icon. The Japanese electronic group, known for their catchy and upbeat music, pays homage to the blonde bombshell with a collection of 12 tracks that capture her spirit and essence.

From the opening track "Butterfly" to the closing "Party Maker," Marilyn Monroe takes listeners on a journey through different moods and styles. The album features some of Perfume's signature sounds, such as pulsing beats, synthesizers, and auto-tuned vocals, but also includes some surprising elements, such as acoustic guitars and strings.

The standout tracks include "Sweet Refrain," a dreamy and ethereal ballad that showcases the group's vocal harmonies, and "Fushizen Na Girl," a bouncy and upbeat track that is reminiscent of classic J-pop. The album also features the hit singles "Spending All My Time" and "Mirai No Museum," which both reached the top of the Japanese charts.

Summary by Gustavo Marin

Marilyn Monroe is a fun and energetic album that pays tribute to one of the most iconic figures in pop culture. Perfume's unique sound and style make this album a must-listen for fans of electronic music and J-pop.
