Well I associacte colours with lots of thing I wouldnt call myself
synesthsic though. Colours like any other pattern or association you attach
to something as a key or by a feeling I expect alot of people do but dont
realise it. Colours can guide you through certain things for instance if
you follow them like doorways in a maze and they make you feel a certian
way.
Kate I assume has different work ethic and priorities at her age and
career. Although 2 albums in one year, a new record label, and she sorted
out her record deal and management from the start is a good place to be. No
arguements over having to wear a wig and heart on her cheek there. No-one
would even dream of asking such a thing of Kate the respect she gains. One
thing that does set Marina out from the masses is she keeps closley in
touch with her fans, (a tatic I hate to draw attention to, or the other
similar all of a sudden sincere artists will do the same if they see its
working) That I like alot.
