  From original press release
  
  Marynka is truly eclectic global woman, interested in promoting love and positivism....... Born in Moscow, she lives in Amsterdam. Her songs have bits of folk, electronic, dance, pop, classical, and traditional Russian music. Her music varies from dreamy and emotional to teasing and playful; it’s like a magic cabaret of love and adventure. Imagine yourself taking a walk through the alley, fully covered with giant red roses, trying to hide from the rain of love. Sounds too much? Not too much for Marynka.
  
  2 much Is Not Enough was recorded in collaboration with three producers, including Mike Stewart, Rob Kloet (The Nits), both of whom also worked on her first CD “Privet”, and also Maxim Shaposhnikov (a.k.a. DJ Goldfinger, Salon USSR, Kidnap Records) who adds extra Russian flavour to this album.

  Too much is never good was what they always told me at home. Russian/Dutch Marynka has a completely different opinion about that. Her album clearly shows that ‘too much’ is ‘not enough’. Fourteen songs long Marynka sweeps from folk to classical and from disco to triphop, singing in English, French and Russian. Her theatrical way of singing needs a bit of getting used to, but n combination with the beats and loops from DJ Goldfinger it all sounds organic. Sometimes Marynka’s voice resembles that of Björk, sometimes that of Lamb’s Louise Rhodes. It is a truly musical potpourri, now and again a bit over the top, but generally within the set framework. 2 Much Is Not Enough has become a merry and sunny album, with a rest here and there. The culmination is the ballad Let Me Make A Step sung in Russian, although the restrained way of her singing makes it understandable. It may be clear: Marynka loves many. Many languages, many styles of music, it can’t get crazy enough for her. Luckily this album is not ‘2 Much’, it’s just right. (Paul Gersen)

  Amsterdam is a sort of Disneyland for grown-ups. Marynka Nicolai is a Russian singer who has been living in Amsterdam for a long time and has ideally merged with its atmosphere of wonderland cabaret. Her second album ‘2 Much Is Not Enough’ is incredibly refined, playful and dreamy and there is so much of what is called ‘sexy’, you wouldn’t believe it! Mind you though, this is not artificial breathing in the style of R&B, but something much, much more sophisticated and lustful...

  Two years after her debut album ’Privet’ instrumentalist (piano, accordeon, meodica) and singer Marynka (Nicolai) has released a new CD: ’2 Much Is Not Enough’. Marynka was born in Russia, but has been living in the Netherlands for many years now, where she also enjoyed part of her musical education. Nearly all the tracks are from her compositorial hand. ‘2 Much Is Not Enough’ may be a unusual CD concerning recognisable musical genres (a mix of pop, folk, jazz, disco, dance, Russian folkmusic), it is a good piece of work vocally and instrumentally. And, after playing the CD a couple of times on a row, you begin to get the hang of it.

  ****
  
  What do you mean Global Village? Marynka Nicolai is a Russian singer who lives in Amsterdam and releases her albums on a French label. Sometimes she sings her songs in her mother tongue (which intensifies the exotic character even more), but mostly in English, with an irresistable accent just like Björk. But mostly Marynka sounds like Marynka. Effortlessly she skips from jumpy pop-songs to dreamy piano ballads, and she loves loops and beats just as much as violins and chello’s. This her second album sounds as if the singer had herself locked up in a patisserie all night long and had a tast of every cake available. [Robert Heeg]
  
  |Fret Magazine|
  Marynka Nicolai, the flamboyant, powerful Russian Dutch singer who can turn a piano into a grand piano, a grand piano into an orchestra and an orchestra into a hurricane of emotions.
  
  |Het Parool|
  Marynka’s music is best described by the appropriate term 'matrjoshka-pop': multi-layered and diverse. Pop, folk, jazz, Russian bossa nova, cabaret, everything passes by as she sings in English, French and Russian. She peels of layer by layer of herself to reveal an ever new face, just like the Russian wooden dolls.
  
  |Uitkrant|
  Marynka’s music is obstinate, elusive and unique.
