CC Martini
All The Way!
Shock
From the opening track on this album, CC Martini is out to grab your attention. Whether it be with her impressive vocal dexterity or her shock value, Martini's bound to be noticed. She jumps from singing in a candy-sweet voice with little hints of sexual innuendo in Double Dutch, to downright sassy and dirty in the aptly titled Dirty Thoughts. Every song that follows is an impressive blend of rock, pop and hip-hop with lyrics that cause you to either grin manically or cringe from their brutal honesty.
Rack It Up is a song about overcoming cocaine addiction, Martini using catchy beats and clever lyrics to portray the sly methods drug dealers use in order to hook someone, and the horrible consequences of addiction. Another fantastic tune is Little Black Book, in which she finds her lover's little black book and finds out that he's been cheating. Her lyrics are brilliant and the use of strings add that little something extra to it. Finally, the best track would have to be Sick Of It, a great rock/ pop tune that deals with men who don't treat women the way they deserve.
It would be easy to go on forever about each song individually, because each one has a different little quirk that makes it special, and all the lyrics are thought-provoking and deal with every day situations, which make Martini's music easy to relate to. Martini is Australia's version of Lady Sovereign, with the same "don't give a damn" attitude but without the ego. Even if you have never been a fan of hip-hop, this album might just change your mind. Brilliant lyrics, fun upbeat music, and a fantastic voice all add up to a killer album that is very easy to love.

"I was very surprised by this album. Not a bad song on it and plenty of variety. Crunchy hip hop guitar pop and beautiful ballads with a bit of electro thrown in for good measure. Lyrics with plenty of attitude and humour, with heart and soul. There's no one else like her at the moment. I love it." - winnierider. iTunes review

”CC Martini is part Pop, part Hip Hop and a whole lotta Rock!”
Her sound is a wild concoction of rock and pop fusing rap and catchy melodies over crunching guitars and electro beats. Her mischievous lyrics instantly capture your imagination and draw you in. Her playful style and cheeky persona make you love her immediately.
Sassy? You Betcha. Sexy? Again you're right. In your face and so alluring that you'll never want to leave? Buddy, you've got it again. Rapper, singer, songwriter and all round Hip Hop extraordinaire, CC Martini leaves pretty much everyone panting in her wake.
“CC Martini has bright hair and big ambitions and now she’s coming to a stage near you. Don’t say you weren’t warned.” – The Music Network
CC has been forging her identity in the Australian music scene since her first collaboration on the leading single from Digital Primate’s album ‘Siege Mentality’ - ‘My Bush Would Make a Better President’.
“If the title is any indication, this sweet electro stomper positions itself right along side foul-mouthed Canadian Peaches, or the political fire of M.I.A., thanks largely to Melbourne rapper CC Martini who delivers a sexy, sassy guest slot on Digital Primate’s killer new single. And with lines like. “Ya’ll should vote for Hilary, Because it’s time the man became a she” over minimal, crunchy beats, this Bush basher is primed to be a dance floor thrasher.” – Bronwyn Thompson - RollingStone 3.5 stars
CC’s first solo release ‘Champagne Taste’ dropped in mid 2007 to huge acclaim, debuting at number one on the AIR charts.
The album’s second single ‘Double Dutch’ has received radio play around the nation has also enjoyed several television appearances, featuring on the popular Big Brother episode when Pamela Anderson entered The House.
“This orange haired jack-in-the-box is set to hit radio like a drunk driver this week as her irresistibly cheeky single Double Dutch winds up to dominate the airwaves. The track is a catchy hip-pop/electro bounce-off full of dirty beats and crunchy guitars” – The Music Network
CC Martini’s live show continues to build momentum as her reputation for being one of Australia’s most unique and talented new artists spreads. After supporting Eve (USA) and rocking festivals including Hot BBQ (De La Soul, Divinyls) and Parklife (Goldfrapp, Peaches, Dizzee Rascal) CC has also headlined her own shows in many of Melbourne’s most prestigious venues. With her own five-piece live band as her army CC Martini is unstoppable.
CC Martini is attracting interest overseas in both the UK and the USA. In 2007 CC travelled to London to work on some tracks with Magnus Fiennes, for a new animated music series- “Freefonix”.
To finish off a very productive year for 2008, CC will venture to California, USA to work on some new tracks with Stephen Bradley and then jet across to hang out with some cats in New York to see in the New Year.
CC Martini will be the one to watch in 2009. The future is bright and shines of promise for this young star.
