Indie Folk from Virginia Marcs

Based in the Jackson Heights area of New York City, Virginia Marcs is an artist who makes her own style of alternative folk music. Having always been a talented musician, she’s tried her hand at a range of different styles from being a Madonna-obsessed adolescent to an opera singer to a jazz standard band leader before finally receiving her guitar; and in that moment everything just clicked.

Along with the six strings, Virginia found her true voice and set out on a path that would see her blossom as a solo artist, creating music that comes straight from her soul. Characterised by her exceptional vocal talents, she’s deservedly drawn comparisons to artists such as Kate Bush, Daughter and Tori Amos over the years.

After sharing her well-received debut single “Poison” in 2017, she was spurred on by the positive response to deliver her first record Climbing the Wall later that year, produced by Katie Buchanan and earning Virginia Marcs more approval from fans and tastemakers. In 2018 she followed up with her sophomore single “I Need You” which was paired with a music video directed by MTV VMA-winner Alexander Hammer.

Now, after almost four years without sharing new music, she’s back with her latest release with the single “This Time”. The lead single lifted from her upcoming EP Reckoning, set to drop next year, with “This Time”, Virginia Marcs lays down her stunning and ethereal lead vocals over a hazy guitar-based arrangement, creating an altogether mesmerising sound that serves to showcase her otherworldly singing talents as well as her knack for delivering a truly captivating song.
