Something to Brag About
Marie is most proud of her song "Princess Kesia," a description of her daughter's transition from young girl to angry, salty teenager.

Keep the Faith
She's not naming any religious names, but it's safe to say Marie's a spiritual chick.

Beatbox Champ
Most musicians talk us through their first song, but Marie blows them out the water by just singing it. You know, like a musician.

Limelight When the Time's Right
Catholic school makes everyone feel guilty. You can't even be an egotistical rock star without feeling a little bad inside.

My Goodies
Sometimes Marie gets so into her sets she starts doing cartwheels, which can be a problem when she's wearing a dress and she's famous.

Mixed Company
Marie was born to a Congolese mother and a Belgian father, and she sees being mixed as a rich bonus in life. Ten points!

Obama Mama
If Obama wins, the rest of the world will consider this a sign of intelligence in the U.S. Marie's down for the cause.

Pop Musique
Marie grew up listening to French pop in the 70s and 80s. For extra cheesy poppy fun, we recommend Serge Gainsbourg.

Breakfast on the Go
Sometimes all a kid has to say is "We're going to sit down together and eat like a family" to whip their parents into shape.

In Between
Marie imagines her album as if it were an image. And the birds will let us know when it's time to party.
