When Marina And The Diamonds (Marina Diamandis) came to the world of pop she was distinctively unique with the tone qualities in her voice. When she got signed over from Atlantic Records to Chop Shop Records there was a worry that her music would be thrashed to common pop.
However, her hidden gem is an acoustic of Starring Role (see link underneath) from the second album “Electra Heart”. It is a song about games within a relationship; no matter how much a girl will love her man he will never love her back as long as he has other hearts to please – and she knew this from the beginning before their love began.
Lyrics from this particular song show the thoughts of a girl when she understands that things are falling in s relationship and the man will always want to be centre of attention where her love is not enough. The whole idea of the album is to portray the thoughts and opinions of different characters and personalities of girls.
Taking tips from Katy Perry, after helping her with her California Dreams tour in 2011, with Marina’s change of hair colour from dark brunette to 20s blonde styling, a striking new image, the recent release is an unmistakable intense and emotional lullaby - extremely different from when Marina first made it big with her smash single Hollywood.
The studio version of the single was released on the 30th April to the public however the demo and acoustic can be played back online.
With new wave electro pop elements to give her music a chart topping chance, the album includes catchy dance tunes with appealing melodies to a wide market. Primadonna is the newest release which you can dance to and is almost as good as Starring Role. Both great to listen to; look at the links below to listen!
