Review: Marlowe ‘SUBMISSIVE’

Alt-pop newcomer Marlowe (they/them) crashes onto the scene with their debut mini-album SUBMISSIVE — and it’s a neon-soaked, sweat-drenched thrill ride. Out now via Plant Pot Records, the record blends euphoric club-ready beats with raw, confessional lyrics, creating something that feels equal parts intimate and explosive.

Packed with dance-floor bangers like “Give It Up”, “SWEATBOX” and “INVINCIBLE”, SUBMISSIVE explores the messy push-and-pull between craving control and rejecting it altogether. Think Troye Sivan meets Olly Alexander, but with a sharper bite and a darker undercurrent.

Marlowe calls it “a song cycle about the unravelling of a people-pleaser”, and you can feel that tension bleeding through every hook and bass drop. It’s personal. It’s powerful. And it absolutely slaps.

With early praise from BBC 6Music, Ones To Watch, and a string of headline shows under their belt, Marlowe isn’t just one to watch — they’re already demanding your attention.

SUBMISSIVE is bold, sweaty, and gloriously defiant. Turn it up loud and let it take control.
