## About The Mixtape

On the day of the release, MARINE went on Instagram Live to talk about the project. She stated, "*I could literally not stop writing music after I finished my debut album. Ideas kept coming and coming, so I did something about. My debut album is very Halloween-y, if that makes sense. So a lot of the songs on the mixtape sound similar to my debut album, and the other way around. I took ideas from mythology and religion; two concepts that look so unique in my eyes. I poured my heart and crumbling, black soul on these tracks, so I hope people enjoy them as much as I do.*"

In an interview, MARINE explained the meaning behind the title of the mixtape. She stated, "*The term 'Immaterial Girl' refers to a Frankenstein girl, someone made out of different materials, like a living doll. I got inspired by the film, Frankenstein, and the term 'Material Girl' was something I've always wanted to include in my edgy, magical songwriting world. I took 'Material Girl' literally for this era and I was like "let me make it the opposite". Something about that makes me love the mixtape even more everytime I hear it (the title).*"
