This article is an update to the review of just the Love part of the album. Marina releases first part of upcoming double album Love + Fear Marina (formerly known as Marina and the Diamonds) announced her comeback at the start of the year and launched her single ‘Handmade Heaven’ with the promise of a double album dropping later this year. We learned that the record is titled Love + Fear and was supposed to be released entirely on the 26th of April. On the 4th of April however, the Welsh-Greek pop artist surprised everyone by sharing the first half, simply titled Love, already. On social media she explained how she created the two parts as seperate albums and wants to give her fans the chance to experience them as such. We now have the full album together and it is her first work since 2015’s LP Froot. A Bit of Pop Music reviews the new album track by track! 01. Handmade Heaven ‘Handmade Heaven’ was chosen as the first single of the project. The uplifting light electronic midtempo pop track is quintessentially Marina with her signature vocals moving from deep tones to soaring high notes. The chorus has a beautiful melody that sonically represents the ‘handmade heaven’ she is singing about. In my humble opinion it was not the strongest track to lead the project with, but a worthy addition to her discography either way. 02. Superstar On second single ‘Superstar’ Marina moved to more basic, radiofriendly pop with a predictable instrumental drop as a post-chorus. Having said that, she makes the genre of the ‘tropical bop’ her own with her unique vocals and strong melodies. The production is on point and lyrically it is a proper love song. Not one of Marina’s strongest or unique tracks, but it has its place on this record! 03. Orange Trees If you want to fault Marina for releasing more basic pop tunes this time around, ‘Orange Trees’ is the one to complain about, but I simply can’t because it is so damn infectious! This breezy, guitar-driven tune brings summer straight through your speakers and I can’t help but smile every time I hear the chorus kick in with the ‘flowers in my hair’ lyric. This will be such a good soundtrack to summer and the fact that she wrote it about the Greek island where her family is from, gives it some extra nostalgic quality. 04. Baby (feat. Clean Bandit & Luis Fonsi) Marina’s Clean Bandit collaboration ‘Baby’ arrived at the end of last year and lead into the release of the band’s album What Is Love?. Clean Bandit weren’t able to lift Marina’s chart curse as the summer bop did not make it past the 15th position in the UK charts. At first I thought this tune would be more of a Clean Bandit track which happened to have Marina’s vocals, but the track does actually make sense in the context of Love. 05. Enjoy Your Life ‘Enjoy Your Life’ was teased on Marina’s Instagram last year. This bouncy synth pop anthem is one of the most uplifting and carefree tracks she has ever put her name to. There are some clear 80s influences in the flawless production by OZGO and Oscar Holter. Lyrically Marina urges her listeners to not worry about everything in life and to sometimes just embrace the problems you are facing and to enjoy your life either way. What a bop! 06. True ‘True’ was produced by OZGO and co-written by Marina, Noonie Bao, OZGO and Oscar Holter. The upbeat electronic pop banger starts out promising, with suspenseful verses, but the chorus could have used a bit more bite. From the middle-eight on, the production picks up slightly and the last chorus therefore hits a little harder, but in terms of melodies, this is certainly not Marina’s strongest moment. 07. To Be Human In comparison to most of the tracks on Love, ‘To Be Human’ is definitely more classic Marina (and the Diamonds). The midtempo pop track, produced by frequent Lorde collaborator Joel Little, is guided by a piano melody while drums kick in during the first chorus. Marina describes a whole lot of places in the verses in her signature, sometimes quite literal, writing style, stating that she has travelled all over the world but still wonders what the meaning is of being human. The delicate ad libs she does over the last chorus form one of her finest vocal moments ever! 08. End of the Earth ‘End of the Earth’, co-written with Jospeh Janiak and James Flannigan and produced by Flannigan, is the most ominous sounding track of the Love side, but at the same time has a loving message. “I’ll give my love, I don’t care if it hurts, ’cause I’ll love you ’till the end of the earth”, she sings over thunderous drums and deep synths. The climax in the last minute is a spectacular way to end this side of the double album, as it is the most adventurous moment production wise. 09. Believe In Love The Fear side starts out with ‘Believe In Love’, a midtempo tune with punchy beats in the verses that sound inspired by the productions on Taylor Swift’s Reputation. The chorus however, has a more laidback vibe and soaring melodies on which Marina’s characteristic vocals are given room to shine. In the lyrics, Marina tries to convince herself to believe in love again and give the person that entered her life a chance. It is a lyrically more hopeful start of this side of the album than expected! 10. Life Is Strange The Joel Little produced ‘Life Is Strange’ was chosen as the track that received a push on the New Music Friday playlists on Spotify. It is a logical choice as the song is one of the more instant tunes of the second lot. The string sample that runs throughout tune is very catchy and the same goes for the vocal melodies at the end of the chorus. In the lyrics, Marina seems to realize that she is not the only one who does not know what to do with her life and that we simply have to accept that we don’t know what is coming as life is strange. Preach it sister! 11. You ‘You’ is one of the more uptempo cuts of the Fear side of the album. The production is simple and straightforward, while the composition is extremely poppy. The repetition of Marina’s high pitched ‘you’ is infectious without getting on the nerves easily. Marina admits in the lyrics that she is just as flawed as the person who is breaking her down. We love an honest bop! 12. Karma On ‘Karma’, Marina shows her anger about influential men both in the music and movie industry falling off their pedestals for abusing their power. Marina watches as karma catches up with them over a seemingly carefree tune with a summer vibe going on. There even seems to be some Greek laika influences in the rhythm and instrumentation of the post-chorus parts. It is easily one of the catchiest and strongest tunes of the whole album! 13. Emotional Machine ‘Emotional Machine’ was one of the first songs that Marina presented of this era. She performed it live for the first time last year. The track is co-written with Caleb and Georgia Nott from New Zealand electro pop duo Broods. Georgia provides backing vocals as well. The result is a smooth light electro pop production with a hypnotic, yet slightly repetitive chorus. 14. Too Afraid Midtempo pop tune ‘Too Afraid’ is easy to forget on first listen and nothing about it really stands out on first listen, but once you get the know the lyrics a little better, you find out they actually tell an honest story about Marina’s life. She explained how the song is about struggling to make actual changes and the challenges of city life. She even said how the track has helped her to make the necessary changes to find happiness so we totally see why ‘Too Afraid’ is special to her! 15. No More Suckers ‘No More Suckers’ is directed at the people in Marina’s life that try to take advantage of her. They don’t contribute anything to her life, but just eat her food and mess up her towels! Together with Alex Hope and James Flannigan she wrote a sassy little tune about it with an effortlessly catchy chorus. A read has never sounded so breezy before! We love it when our pop stars deliver important life advise over hooks for days. 16. Soft To Be Strong Marina closes the album delicately with the gorgeous ballad ‘Soft To Be Strong’. It is a cute love song that talks about how a relationship grows stronger when you actually dare to show your soft and vulnerable side to the person you want to be with. A beautiful thought, packed in an impeccable melody that closes Marina’s accomplished fourth studio album. On Love + Fear, Marina shows herself to be more mature and carefree than ever before, which causes her tunes to be generally slightly more basic and at the same time contemporary sounding. Although this might not be the best work of her career, the melodies are still very much on point on most of the songs and the productions are lush! While she delivers the bops in the first half, the more mature and deep lyrics follow in the second. A well balanced record that sure was worth the wait!

I'm obviously a huge fan of Marina and I was talking to this guy who liked her first 3 eras. He was telling me how Marina lacks footing as an artist. I was confused, and asked him to said her first album was great, if not a bit eccentric for a debut album and went on to say Electra Heart pissed off a lot of fans but he loved it because it still sounded like Marina despite her singing through a character. And then he went on to say she shifted gears very fast with Froot and didn't lean into the sound but rather went full throttle. He loved Froot but he said she should have played more with the EH era. We were talking and he went to say she doesn't have any footing as an artist like Britney or Madonna because even though they reinvented themselves, they have a signature. He said L+F was trash and her new album was like all past 4 eras combined and uneven. I just found his opinion really disagree. Even though Marina has had a different era and sound for each era her lyrics and voice are her signature. Even though L+F was lyrically boring and regressive, Handmade Heaven had very interesting lyrics, End of the Earth had beautiful poetry words, and a few other songs did, too. Marina's voice is so feel like artists who lack signature and sound are Christina Aguilera because her eras changed so drastically and Demi Lovato. The two do not have any signatures in terms of music because they are all over the place...What do y'all think? Do you think Marina shifted gears too fast between EH and Froot? For me, the gear shifting is from Froot to L+F, if anything. These songs got me through my wasted teenage years and ruined innocence 🍒💗🍒💗🍒#marina #marinaandthediamonds The lyrics to “Enjoy Your Life,” from Marina Diamandis’ new album, Love & Fear, could serve as the soundtrack to your soul from here on out — at least, they should.“Sit back and enjoy your problems / You don’t always have to solve them,” she cheers. “Cuz your worst days, they are over / So, enjoy your life / Yea, you might as well accept it / Don’t you waste your time regretting. Yea, your worst days — they are over / So, enjoy your life.”It’s exactly the type of infectious, carefree chorus you’d expect from any other pop star. But when sung by Marina, who’s back from a hiatus with a tweaked stage name (no longer “Marina and the Diamonds,” simply Marina), it feels like a release — like finding joy in life’s in-between moments or coming to terms with the inevitability of by Leeor the day of her release of single “Orange Trees,” a sugary-sweet summer anthem, the Greek-Welsh musician is in a great mood as she looks back. But a few years ago, almost a decade and three albums into her career, Marina says, she stopped growing.“I didn’t feel the same about music anymore or why I was motivated to be an artist,” explains Diamandis, who retreated after the 2016 tour for her Froot album. “The way I processed that was, Well, maybe I don’t want to have a job in public life anymore. I just remember thinking I don’t want my face to be on anything. I don’t like anyone looking at me — just a complete rejection of that, so I thought, Well, maybe I shouldn’t do this anymore.”For the record, however, she doesn’t categorise her return as a comeback at all: “I don’t really care. I’m just like, Hello. This is my new music. In my mind I quit, but in reality, I just wasn’t doing music at that time.” (That hiatus did include college classes in psychology — more on that later.)Photographed by Leeor before Marina took her breather, her single (off Froot), “Happy,” depicted a reclusive celebrity, alone and in search of happiness but unsure where to find it. It was a darker, yet somehow still colourful, turn for a woman who once sang about how to be the heartbreaker (not the other way around).When Diamandis arrived with her debut LP The Family Jewels in 2010, she charmed the hearts of young women and gay men searching for lighter fare than other British singers of that era (Adele, Amy Winehouse, Duffy, etc.). Her story is less rags-to-riches than it is a butterfly getting its wings: Her obsession with becoming a singer wasn’t enough to keep her from dropping out of music school, but it gave her the nerve to create her own music — teaching herself how to play the keyboard and recording her demos on GarageBand. Ultimately, her grassroots approach and her embracing of MySpace would see her land 14 record label offers. She rejected all but also set Marina apart from the get-go was her innate understanding of the digital revolution of both streaming music and social media. Her sound, an orchestral combination of sticky lyrics and sweet melodies, came about at a time when the internet had begun influencing teenagers, and when tools like GarageBand became accessible to everyone. An imperfect, unpolished pop genius, Marina harnessed a gut sense for meaningful, personal lyrics and tempered it with radio-friendly sounds. By then, pop stars weren’t just dissecting love within their songs; they could rewrite the very notion of love, changing the way you looked at it, her confident arrival, Diamandis regularly communicated with her cult fanbase during a time when most artists hadn’t yet embraced platforms like Twitter and Tumblr. (Instagram was still years away.) “I took that tool... to talk to people online and project my personality that way,” she by Leeor the Diamonds, for the uninitiated, aren’t actually real, and have nothing to do with cubic zirconias, either. In 2010, Diamandis described them as a conceptual security blanket (and a play on her surname) rather than an actual backing band: “I saw a simple group made up of many people who had the same hearts. A space for people with similar ideals who couldn’t fit into life's pre-made mould. I was terribly awkward for a long time! I really craved to be part of one thing because I never felt too connected to anybody and now I feel I have that all around me.”After The Family Jewels, Marina’s sound and execution quickly matured, and she was eager to present a more twisted vision of female pop stardom. And so, 2012’s Electra Heart was born. Diamandis again gave fans what they wanted (shake it off to “Primadonna,” “Bubblegum Bitch,” and ”Power & Control” to see what we mean).But nothing about album number three, Froot, hinted that Marina was on the verge of quitting music altogether. The LP contained just as many requisite pop puns, and struck a perfect balance of inspiring and somber lyrics. But, again, it didn’t propel Marina into the mainstream. “Do you really want me to write a feminist anthem?” she asks on “Can’t Pin Me Down.” “All these contradictions pouring out of me / Just another girl in the 21st century. I am never gonna give you anything you expect.” Four years post-Froot, Love & Fear (part one, Love, dropped the final week of March, and part two, Fear, arrives at the end of April) isn’t a total departure from her signature sound of electronic rock-pop. But it’s a bit sparser, and certainly lacks the angst of previous by Leeor and in person, Diamandis isn’t afraid to go deep. She’s a Libra, and concedes that she takes on the emotions of others. On Love & Fear’s “Emotional Machine,” for instance, she sings, “I’m a machine, an emotional being / Since I was a teen / Cut my feelings off clean”. And she holds her own in conversations about politics. In a recent interview with Channel 4, Diamandis cried as she discussed the state of American politics (“It’s anti-human”). Her response ballad on Love & Fear is aptly titled “To Be Human”: “I like to think about how we all look from afar / People driving fancy cars look like Beetles to the stars / The missiles and the bombs sound like symphonies gone wrong / And if there is a God, they'll know why it's so hard.”“One thing that has really changed in my world perspective in the past three years is this feeling that we are all the same. That might just be a personal feeling or it might be something that has been triggered by our politics and the fact that we aren’t united, that we’re actually more divided than ever,” she says. “That hurts me like it hurts people who are on the receiving end of discrimination. It feels completely wrong, the way that the world has been moving in the past two years.”Photographed by Leeor Diamandis sounds more introspective than your average pop vixen, it’s because she is. In fact, during her break from music, she took classes at the University of London, studying Psychology and Understanding Human Personality. When explaining why Love & Fear is 16 tracks, instead of the industry-average of 12 (and why it’s split into eight and eight), she cites Swedish psychologist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross: “She states that everything that we do stems from love or fear. So, love and fear are the two primary human emotions that all of our other emotions come out of,” she explains. “I thought that was a beautiful, universal way of painting a picture of the human experience. It was a really easy way to look at the songs and say, This comes from a feeling of joy or love and This definitely comes from a place of fear.”Another recent shift for Marina, sans the Diamonds: She’s established greater boundaries on her social media channels. “People are given access to artists, thinkers, people in public who they like, and you have to be smart about how much you decide to take in,” she says. “I don’t think it’s natural to know millions of people’s opinions of you. I don’t think that’s a useful thing for an artist. I’ve been able to manage that much more in recent years.”Like her sound, Diamandis’ new image is spare and stripped down. She has evolved from her colourful music festival stylings (the heart-shaped mole and the Spice Girls-esque stage wardrobe) to a more mature vision. “In my [new] album shots, I’m wearing Levi jeans and some spotty top. But that’s cool. That’s where I was at when I was shooting it,” reflects Marina, who cites vintage Cindy Crawford as a key inspiration for her new aesthetic. But Diamandis is a lyricist — she’s not distracted by fashion, despite how much her previous discography and visuals may say otherwise. “I’m a big fan of being able to select clothes that say something about where you’re at. And that can just be a black top and trousers. It doesn’t have to be fashion.” It makes sense, then, that the cover art for Love & Fear features just one fashion credit: an best part about talking to an artist ahead of their latest project — and in this case, their reemergence — is that there’s often not an ounce of melancholy in their voice. It’s proof of the reparative power of music. As Diamandis talks about Love & Fear, nothing gets her going as much as feedback on the songs. Even for diehard fans, it’s easy to forget just how far she’s come and what it took to get there. Because Diamandis should not have been a singer. She was not discovered, via YouTube or on the subway, nor has she ever competed on a television singing competition. She burst onto the music scene whether it was ready for her or not. It’s what makes the evolution of her lyrics, her sound, and her look, an entirely relatable, human experience.“I really, deeply believed that I should be doing this and that I should be a singer. I had a very strong, innate instinct,” she insists. “That’s the only way I can explain it. Because on paper, it seemed mad — someone who didn’t sing in public, had never written a song would be choosing this career path when, really, I should have been going to university and doing something more academic. But it’s why I kept trying.” ^{Marina and The Diamonds, Piano Hits! Browse our 2 arrangements of "Are You Satisfied?"

She is additionally recognised for her retro, surreal and cartoonish fashion styles, and has been described as an artist with a cult following, and a gay her childhood, she attended Haberdashers' Monmouth School for Girls, reflecting that "I sort of found my talent there...

Marina has synesthesia, where one sensation triggers another usually very different sensation (like tasting colors).In her 2009 blog, she writes that she "experiencedmusic solely through colour, texture and also associates names, people and days of the week with different colors. For example, she sees Monday as red and Tuesday as her blog she writes, "[I] also smell scents that I absolutely know do not exist in the room at that time but not sure if that relates [synesthesia] or something very different."2. For most of 2012, Marina wore a going to a hairdresser to dye her hair platinum blonde, a large portion of her hair broke off."She was blowdrying my hair and said, 'You've got a bit of breakage at the back'. I looked around and a lot has just snapped off at two inches. A week later I had it all cut really short." — via she purchased a wig, painted the roots black to make it look realistic, amd tied it up with a ribbon to create Electra Heart's signature In Marina's sophomore album, Electra Heart, she wanted to tell a story using a ficitional character as well as create a dark bubble gum pop video "Fear and Loathing" where Marina chops off her long brown locks marks the beginning of her transformation and journey as Electra Heart, the alter ego."Electra Heart is the antithesis of everything that I stand for," Marina said. "And the point of introducing her and building a whole concept around her is that she stands for the corrupt side of American ideology, and basically that's the corruption of yourself. My worst fear - that's anyone's worst fear - is losing myself and becoming a vacuous person. And that happens a lot when you're very ambitious." — via her journey as Electra Heart, Marina goes blonde; destroys a couch with a chainsaw; hangs her lover upside down and throws water on him; and performs in a male shower, before finally killing herself as Electra Heart in the appropriately named music video: "Electra Heart." She does so by wiping the heart off her cheek, becoming Marina While she wrote most if the songs on her debut, The Family Jewels, in Electra Heart she had a a 2015 interview, Marina describes her experience writing Electra Heart as an intense and fascinating In her new album, Froot, Marina wanted to move away from the stereotypical pop star image."So when I was promoting [Electra Heart] I realized, OK, this is why I don't like being a pop star because people assume you don't know anything and you don't make your own music," Marina said. "I saw that change as soon as I dyed my hair blond and created music that had a different production style. It was fascinating but it made me think: 'I'm not going to do this again.'" — Marina's trip to Las Vegas inspired the aesthetic behind Electra was surrounded by vintage clothing stores, filled with bubble gum pvc dresses, which she then bought and formed a Marina started four different courses at four different universities - dance, vocal tech, music & culture and music composition - but did not complete quitting both dance and vocal tech school, Marina studied music and culture at the University of East London, completed a year, and got a first (highest mark) before transferring to a musical composition course at Middlesex University, which she left after 3 months."I didn't want to be in university," she said. "I wanted to be in the business learning everything first hand. But at the same time I wasn't good enough in the beginning so I had to do something with my life." — via Her song "Girls" was inspired by her journey to find a suitable record passed on 14 different labels before signing with Atlantic Records because most of them were trying to impose an image for her.

Diamandis again gave fans what they wanted (shake it off to “Primadonna,” “Bubblegum Bitch,” and ”Power & Control” to see what we mean).But nothing about album number three, Froot, hinted that Marina was on the verge of quitting music altogether. The LP contained just as many requisite pop puns, and struck a perfect balance of inspiring and somber lyrics. But, again, it didn’t propel Marina into the mainstream. “Do you really want me to write a feminist anthem?” she asks on “Can’t Pin Me Down.” “All these contradictions pouring out of me / Just another girl in the 21st century. I am never gonna give you anything you expect.” Four years post-Froot, Love & Fear (part one, Love, dropped the final week of March, and part two, Fear, arrives at the end of April) isn’t a total departure from her signature sound of electronic rock-pop. But it’s a bit sparser, and certainly lacks the angst of previous by Leeor and in person, Diamandis isn’t afraid to go deep. She’s a Libra, and concedes that she takes on the emotions of others. On Love & Fear’s “Emotional Machine,” for instance, she sings, “I’m a machine, an emotional being / Since I was a teen / Cut my feelings off clean”. And she holds her own in conversations about politics. In a recent interview with Channel 4, Diamandis cried as she discussed the state of American politics (“It’s anti-human”). Her response ballad on Love & Fear is aptly titled “To Be Human”: “I like to think about how we all look from afar / People driving fancy cars look like Beetles to the stars / The missiles and the bombs sound like symphonies gone wrong / And if there is a God, they'll know why it's so hard.”“One thing that has really changed in my world perspective in the past three years is this feeling that we are all the same. That might just be a personal feeling or it might be something that has been triggered by our politics and the fact that we aren’t united, that we’re actually more divided than ever,” she says. “That hurts me like it hurts people who are on the receiving end of discrimination. It feels completely wrong, the way that the world has been moving in the past two years.”Photographed by Leeor Diamandis sounds more introspective than your average pop vixen, it’s because she is. In fact, during her break from music, she took classes at the University of London, studying Psychology and Understanding Human Personality. When explaining why Love & Fear is 16 tracks, instead of the industry-average of 12 (and why it’s split into eight and eight), she cites Swedish psychologist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross: “She states that everything that we do stems from love or fear. So, love and fear are the two primary human emotions that all of our other emotions come out of,” she explains. “I thought that was a beautiful, universal way of painting a picture of the human experience. It was a really easy way to look at the songs and say, This comes from a feeling of joy or love and This definitely comes from a place of fear.”Another recent shift for Marina, sans the Diamonds: She’s established greater boundaries on her social media channels. “People are given access to artists, thinkers, people in public who they like, and you have to be smart about how much you decide to take in,” she says. “I don’t think it’s natural to know millions of people’s opinions of you. I don’t think that’s a useful thing for an artist. I’ve been able to manage that much more in recent years.”Like her sound, Diamandis’ new image is spare and stripped down. She has evolved from her colorful music festival stylings (the heart-shaped mole and the Spice Girls-esque stage wardrobe) to a more mature vision. “In my [new] album shots, I’m wearing Levi jeans and some spotty top. But that’s cool. That’s where I was at when I was shooting it,” reflects Marina, who cites vintage Cindy Crawford as a key inspiration for her new aesthetic. But Diamandis is a lyricist — she’s not distracted by fashion, despite how much her previous discography and visuals may say otherwise. “I’m a big fan of being able to select clothes that say something about where you’re at. And that can just be a black top and trousers. It doesn’t have to be fashion.” It makes sense, then, that the cover art for Love & Fear features just one fashion credit: an best part about talking to an artist ahead of their latest project — and in this case, their reemergence — is that there’s often not an ounce of melancholy in their voice. It’s proof of the reparative power of music. As Diamandis talks about Love & Fear, nothing gets her going as much as feedback on the songs. Even for diehard fans, it’s easy to forget just how far she’s come and what it took to get there. Because Diamandis should not have been a singer. She was not discovered, via YouTube or on the subway, nor has she ever competed on a television singing competition. She burst onto the music scene whether it was ready for her or not. It’s what makes the evolution of her lyrics, her sound, and her look, an entirely relatable, human experience.“I really, deeply believed that I should be doing this and that I should be a singer. I had a very strong, innate instinct,” she insists. “That’s the only way I can explain it. Because on paper, it seemed mad — someone who didn’t sing in public, had never written a song would be choosing this career path when, really, I should have been going to university and doing something more academic. But it’s why I kept trying.”}

Walijska wokalistka Marina And The Diamonds, która zaśpiewała przed koncertem Coldplay na Stadionie Narodowym we wrześniu, ponownie odwiedzi Polskę. Piosenkarka wystąpi 30 stycznia 2013 r. w warszawskiej Stodole (datę koncertu zmieniono na 16 kwietnia) Marina And The Diamonds zagra pełen biletowany koncert, podczas którego wykona utwory ze swoich dwóch dotychczasowych płyt - "Family Jewels" i "Electra Heart". Energia i urok wokalistki w połączeniu z jej specyficznym poczuciem humoru i oczywiście przebojową muzyką zapowiadają moc wrażeń. Słuchacze, którzy mieli możliwość zobaczenia artystki w akcji podczas jej krótkiego występu przed koncertem grupy Coldplay, bawili się znakomicie przy jej piosenkach, o czym świadczą amatorskie nagrania zamieszczone w internecie. Koncert Mariny And The Diamonds zapowiada się jako jedno z ciekawszych wydarzeń koncertowych w 2013 roku. Film Marina Lambrini Diamandis, ukrywająca się pod pseudonimem Marina And The Diamonds, zadebiutowała w lutym 2010 r. albumem "Family Jewels". Płyta wylansowała dwa spore przeboje - "Hollywood" i "I Am Not A Robot". Estetyka utworów wokalistki oraz sposób interpretacji przyniósł jej porównania do takich artystek, jak Regina Spektor czy Shakira. Sama zainteresowana wśród swoich inspiracji wymienia Madonnę, Britney Spears, Garbage i Kate Bush. Drugi album wokalistki zatytułowany "Electra Heart" przyniósł zmianę repertuaru - pojawiły się akcenty typowo klubowe oraz więcej brzmień syntetycznych. Płytę zapowiadały single "Radioactive" oraz "Fear And Loathing", które zdobyły uznanie krytyków i słuchaczy. Najnowszy singiel Mariny And The Diamonds "How To Be A Heartbreaker" ukazał się w atmosferze sensacji - wytwórnia płytowa próbowała zablokować premierę teledysku do piosenki twierdząc, że gwiazda wygląda w nim zbyt niekorzystnie. Marina będzie obchodziła swoje 27 urodziny 10 października.
