A new name to me Marilyn Carino, is a young lady from New York. And that's the short story.
Marilyn Carino gained notoriety as the singing and songwriting half of Mudville. Her contributions to Mudville's three critically-acclaimed albums were lauded as "Nina Simone coming back from the dead to front Morcheeba" - her unique, moving voice hailed as "smoldering", "enchanting" and "otherworldly".
Her song "Wicked" won a 2008 Independent Music Award for best song. Marilyn's songs have also been featured in the SyFy series "Regnesis" and in the feature films "Slutty Summer", "Going Down in LaLa Land", and the upcoming "Fanpires in Venice".
Written, performed, recorded and produced by Marilyn alone, the first product of her solo incarnation is "Marilyn Carino - Little Genius" which was released in July, 2011
Anybody who can sing jazz as well as Marilyn deserves to be a big hit, plus she writes her own great tunes, plus plus she loves Tom Waits. That's it, we can stop there. Nirvana!
