Marcie - Vocalist

I am curious what you people out there think of Marcie and her vocals/lyrics. This vocalist seems to have sung on more trance tunes than any trance vocalist in history. In my opinion, she doesn't seem to care which producers she works with and what songs she sings on. She just seems to want to put her voice and noises on as many songs as possible, perhaps in hopes of a big release. It is a shame that the trance scene cannot find better vocalists and lyricists than her, and it is also a shame that a vocalist like this is able to flood the trance world with such poor quality tunes. I have been frustrated with the scene recently, as much of what I hear sounds quite a bit alike, and this vocalist appearing on so many releases is hurting the scene even more in my opinion. Again, this is just my personal opinion, but I am curious if I am all alone in my assessment.

Isn't this the same girl that did the "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" cover? I think she posts every release she is on in the cd review forum. Bitch can't hit a note nor can she find anyone out there that can make her sound like she can.

It's pretty entertaining tbh.

she's been fucked as many times as Hawkshaw + Lacey

i have heard exactly one track with her vocals on it and i hope noone ever hires this talantless bint to sing over their poofy four on the floor beat ever again.

I looked, and yeah, she covered "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"

Her credits start in 2006, about the same time as Jes (great vocalist and songwriter imo), yet she has over triple the amount of releases as Jes.

There was a thread about her a while ago:

I had forgotten how hilariously bad that video was:

Jes was doing Motorcycle productions well before 2006. Are you talking about her solo album under the Jes moniker? If so then that may be another story.

For the record, Jes sucks vocally as well though she's years better than Marcie. Jes at least sounds decent in a studio, just abysmal live.

Either way, Marcie's getting paid to do presumably what she loves and she's nice to most people on the forums. Talentless, but harmless nonetheless.

I haven't seen Jes live, but some of her songs are solid I think. I like the way her voice sounds on Imagination (which was originally a Motorcycle song), Ghost, and of course As The Rush Comes by Motorcycle.

Here is Marcie's latest (even the remixer doesn't seem to be able to make the vocal sound nice):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so9sSNaCqlg

Read the description on YouTube:

"One person you never want to get away from is the rather alluring Marcie, (who many know as the voice of Behind The Lyric)," ("never want to get away from?" lol)

Has anyone seen Marcie live? Even modern technology cannot seem to make her voice sound decent on the single releases. If she were to merely release a few of these tunes a year like 99% of the other trance vocalists out there, it wouldn't be so annoying, but she releases loads (over 16 singles with remixes last year, and at her current pace, she will out do herself this year). She has asked some producers I have chatted with to sing on their tracks, and I suppose becomes she is female and comes across as nice, they say yes to her request. She asked one producer I know to sing on his tune, but after she sent her vocals, he asked her to do spoken word because he didn't think he could make her vocals sound good.

I think these types of releases are helping to devalue the meaning of getting signed to a label and having releases. Are 2-4 quality releases worth much more to the vocalist and music lovers out there, or do you think it is smarter to release as many tracks possible, and pray that one of the tracks becomes big?

I think I'd rather chew gravel than listen to her "singing".

I'm beginning to think you're paying too much attention to labels that release shit music regardless.

Doesn't Marcie get signed to Armada, Anjuna, Black Hole (seriously fitting name), and Megasparkles?

"Megasparkles"?

I am really just frustrated that this artist keeps putting out so many tracks and flooding the market with the crap.

Marcie has been signed to Coldharbour Red (Some really solid releases), but has also somehow been signed to other smaller quality labels. Anjuna or Black Hole? Not that I know of. Megasparkles? Not heard of that.

I really dig Anjuna's releases.

Megasparkles is by far one of the best labels out there, you gotta check them out man.

They got some fucking amazing songs!

oh my god, is this how britons perceive america?

before you judge though, listen to these couple of works

imo she sounds absolutely fabulous in them:

charayana - liberation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EnltHOB3qk

the touch - radio station (motivo hi-lectro & beetseekers remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhKM-3I6x4M
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSveTH6fLqw

she definitely can sing when there's a good song writer doing the vocal melody (like Alexander Perls)

Are you serious??!! You think these songs/lyrics and vocals are good, or are you being sarcastic (I hope so). These are obviously tuned up, but the productions are horrid imo. I would rather chew on gravel too than listen to these. What do the rest of you think of these two Marcie "classics"?

In that horrible Radio Station tune, I just noticed some of the lyrics:

Radio station, all I got is you. Nothing I could lose?
Nighttime comes, and all I got is you.

Driving faster in my car, take a chance, it might go far with you.

Sounds like Marcie has fallen in love with her radio station!


Are you her press agent or good friend?

Those guys are from Hungary. Imagine if Armin were to blast SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW (Marcie version) at a 30,000 person venue. I would pay to see the reactions on his fan's faces!

yes i'm serious, and i only meant the singing, melody and such. i do think the whole production in the beetseekers remix is great (even though the vocals could be a bit louder)
i don't really pay much attention to edm lyrics cause most of them are quite meaningless anyway, if it sounds good it sounds good..

but those are the marcie tracks i really enjoy, and i can tell you that i really hate some of her vocals (most of the electro house tracks). mostly i prefer instrumentals and dub versions from vocal mixes anyway, but if the melody in the vocals is really great (like in these tracks) i go for the vocal mix.

So you would actually buy those? Remember FIND by Ridgewalkers? That was an amazing track I thought. The vocal has amazing passion and beauty, and the supporting melody is great.

IMO, both of the examples of her best tracks are terrible. What I do like about both of them is I feel relieved after I stop listening to them.

What other artists do you like? I see we have totally different taste in music.

well i wouldn't buy the motiva remix, but the vocals are still great in it. i would however buy the beetseekers remix if it was up to sale and i wouldn't have gotten it as a promo (it's an unreleased bootleg).

liberation is also unreleased, and about 5 years old. i used to like it a lot, nowadays it sounds a bit dated, but the vocals are still quality for me. a 130bpm slower (prog) trance version of it would rock

i love "find", here's couple of other vocal tracks i love:

older:
ascension - someone
andain - beautiful things
bt - mercury and solace
brother brown - under the water
chakra - i am
delerium - innocente
human movement - love has come again
lange - i believe
lange - follow me
lustral - everytime
lustral - solace
paul oakenfold - southern sun
rachael starr - 'till there was you
reflekt - need to feel loved
second skin - runaway
sun decade - follow you
solar stone - speak in sympathy
way out west - the fall
warrior - warrior
way out west - intensify

newer:
antix - hiding place
andy moor - fake awake
andy moor - halcyon
andy moor - so much more
boom jinx - eternal reminiscence
cerf, mitiska & jaren - light the skies
cerf, mitiska & jaren - me and you
chris lake - carry me away
interstate - i found you
jonas steur - fall to pieces
karen overton - your loving arms
falkon & nebula - so lost
luminary - amsterdam (i'm not that big of a fan of this kinda last breath artsy singing though, but this one is great)
team sr - leaving london
thrillseekers - by your side
tiesto - everything (yes you heard me tiesto and the bt ripoff song)

male vocals:
gareth emery - more than anything (dj observer & dan heatcliff vocal mix)
nic chagall - what you need
markus schulz and departure with g&d - without you near
+ rock bootlegs, expecially brothers in rhythm remixed

and probably a lot others that i forgot now. most of them are kinda popish though, but if there's vocals in tracks i want them to be catchy and not just nonesense.

I do think that Marcie got a very good voice, is just the tracks that she picks or are offered to her man.. most of them are so soulless.
She's got to start being more selective.

I personally like foreign vocals in Trance tracks, like for example:

C-Rouge - Dle Yaman
Hemstock & Jennings ft Adam White - Reverence
C-Rouge - Child from Heaven
