Everything she always wanted ...
Mari Wilson is an English singer, as well known for producing Singles of obvious quality as for her unique very kitsch 60s look. Especially for the "Sugar Loaf" on which she based her very particular hairstyle. Her main success dates from 1982 with the Single "Just what I always wanted". Which will be followed in 1983 by the Single "Cry me a river" which will also perform well.
Other titles will be released later which will unfortunately go a little more unnoticed but of significant quality. To discover or rediscover...

Tracks :
1980...the very first steps of a young singer whose appearance will look like no other. We can't imagine how much...
1982...the official arrival of Miss 'Pain de Sucre'. A surreal look but an oh so obvious talent that allows her to achieve a first success...
1982...the official arrival of Miss Pain de Sucre. A surreal look but an oh so obvious talent that allows him to achieve a first success...
1982 ... the first major hit that will really reveal her thanks to this sumptuous luxury cover of a Dionne Warwick title dating from 1965. And the best is yet to come !
1982 ... a totally vintage style that will become her trademark. A unique model of its kind !
1982 ... the HUGE title which will consecrate her. Fresh, light, rhythmic, everything you need to make it one of the biggest hits of the year, if not the decade...
1982 ... an equally rhythmic suite, all carried by a So 80's clip. A decidedly exceptional year 1982 ...
1983 ... take out the handkerchiefs, here she covers one of the biggest standards of the 1950s, namely Julie London's famous 'Cry me a river'. And at the same time offers her second biggest hit...
1983 ... another fresh and wild title. A decidedly unique style that hits the target every time !
1984 ... she decides to revisit here the title of Marvin Gaye dating from 1965 and even if the copy will not exceed the original in terms of success it is far from demerit it is clear ...
1984...a mid-decade that will rhyme with the beginning of a slow but irreversible deceleration. Too bad because everything was fine so far...
1985...between this title and the one that preceded it, the least we can say is that they don't have much in common. From where a public for the least disconcerted…
1991...we will lose sight of her for almost 6 years and here she is back in this new 90s decade with a change of look, musical style, everything ! Too many changes that won't help bring her back in the race unfortunately...
1991...here she decides to cover a standard from the 1930s in a style and sound totally opposite to the new musical standards of the moment. Dared bet and especially lost bet...
1992...but we won't remake her again as they say and her passion for the musical standards of old times is not ready to stop...
2005... there it is downright 13 years that will separate this title from the previous one but here she is again in any case. A desire to believe in it to the end which undoubtedly commands respect...
2005...and still in a style and a sound that in no way matches the musical trends of the moment. Everyone pursues their career as they see fit...
2005... even if she does not stick to the standards of the moment, what she continues to offer is far from deserving, that's clear...
2006...here she is in trio mode, something she hadn't really accustomed us to. And my faith the result will not be devoid of interest, it is clear...
2006...but it's clear that the girls are taking quite a risk by embarking on a musical path that's original to say the least. At least they tried...
2006...after having revisited a Joe Jackson title dating from 1979 they decide to revisit here the title of Jack Jones dating from 1963. A copy of more than certain interest...
2008...in the series of revisited versions, here she decides to honor the title Quizas, Quizas, Quizas dating from 1947. Simply a good job...
2008...a passion for the sounds of previous decades that does not weaken year after year and especially decade after decade...
2008...a 2000 decade which will have seen her produce no less than 3 albums which is not nothing and which shows above all that she surely does not intend to stop in such a good way...
2011...and another decade, one ! With each title we tell ourselves that it may be the last and each time she comes back to the delight of its fans from the start...
2012...a title that has little to do with the previous one, to say the least. The art of going from one extreme to another...
2012...she will never have done anything like the others, it is clear. She will always have had her own style from start to finish...
2012... what impresses is her irrepressible will to continue the adventure as far as possible. Especially through her many covers of old standards like that of Dusty Springfield dating from 1963...
2013... here she is revisiting the Bee Gees and their title dating from 1969. Her passion for the previous decades and especially their sounds will always remain an endless source of inspiration...
2016... with each new opus it is once again the basic fans who rejoice at the highest level and so do we...
2016...in the series of luxury covers here comes her revisited version of Petula Clark's title dating from 1966. Revisited versions that still have the merit of originality...
2016... still Petula Clark but dating this time from 1967. She will have succeeded in bringing up to date titles dating back more than 50 years which is not nothing...
2017...an adventure that lasts, lasts, lasts and doesn't seem ready to stop. She still has things to offer and especially to sing at first sight...
2021...and another decade, one ! And what better way to start it than to do it at 2 ? We therefore imagine that this title will surely not be the last...
