Marie Digby Aims For Bolder Sound With Beats On New Album
Marie Digby checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace (@mariedigby) on Monday (September 7), just as her second album ‘Breathing Underwater’ got its digital release at Amazon.com. The Los Angeles based singer songwriter tells readers:
So I got off the road, came home… and it was time to think about album #2. What did I want to say? What musically, did i want to explore? What was inspirational to me at the moment…
I wasn’t exactly sure how it was supposed to sound but I knew a few things for sure:
It had to be bolder, more confident, and lush….
After performing live, I was craving more music that would make people want to move.So I had to have rhythm… bass….. I wanted beats…
I was THRILLED with all the possibility…. and then came a flood of doubts.
Wait, is this what my fans want of me? Am I supposed to just stay an acoustic-y, folky, artist my whole career? Is that all that I can do?Then I started thinking about all the artists that I’ve grown up idolizing…. Portishead, Radiohead, Tori Amos.. The list goes on.. They’ve never been shy of evolving, with each album, they grew and morphed… They challenged me to listen differently, to feel differently.
Now, I may have a long ways to go before I even touch the edge of leaving the mark that these bands have but I don’t see why I shouldn’t strive to walk in that direction…
Like I may have said before in my songs, I, just like anyone else, have insecurities and moments of doubt but … there is one thing I am not, fearful.
Nothing great, nothing life changing or epic comes out of fear….So while I might have had some worries as to how I would explain to everyone where I was going and why, I knew I had to do it and if I was going to do it, put everything I had into it.
Kind of reminds of the day I decided to leave behind college (despite the advice to do the opposite from all those around me including those who love me the most) to pursue music. It was either the most ridiculous decision or my life or the most important and brilliant.

YAY!!!!!!!! Just had to get that out there. I’m very excited
I can’t believe I’m FINALLY making it out to the Philippines !
As of now, I’m playing Singapore on the 28th - The Arena, Manila - Aug 1st (I think the Hard Rock) and Summer Sonic on the 8th in Tokyo. These will be my very very first performances of the music from ‘Breathing Underwater’.
I only have a little time to rehearse and figure out the show but I really hope that I put together something that you all will LOVE !! That’s all I care about, is giving you guys an amazing experience to walk away from…. It’ll be a small configuration of just me, and two other guys.

I have been taking meetings with several managers, have a few whom I love and I’m trying to make a decision asap

Marie Digby Responds To ‘Breathing Underwater’ Album Leak
Marie Digby updated fans on her blog at MySpace (@mariedigby) on Wednesday (April 8), reacting to news that her second English album ‘Breathing Underwater’ was leaked well before its June release date. The singer songwriter tells readers:
If you feel the need to buy the album off of eBay or to download the whole thing for free.. just remember one thing please. I live and breathe music… it is all that I do in life and all that I want to do for the rest of my life. Please know that the one way you can help me continue doing it is by supporting my album. If you can’t afford 8 dollars for an album, then you can always support your favorite artists by even just purchasing a song or two ! If an artist I love had made a new album and it was on the internet, I would probably want it too !! But I would undoubtedly go and buy the album with pride on the date of release as well.. but that’s just me :)
