Marina and The Diamonds strips new single Primadonna of its stomping electronic beats to perform a stunning acoustic rendition, showcasing her distinguished vocal of entertaining tongue-in-cheek lyrics
Marina and The Diamonds releases her brand new album Electra Heart on 679/Atlantic on 30th April 2012.
Electra Heart is preceded by the first single to be taken from the album, Primadonna which is released on 16 April.
Electra Heart is a huge leap forward for Marina and promises to be one of the most exciting pop releases of 2012, underlining that she is amongst the most talented young British artists around.
A ground-to-air missile of ambitious and confident songs, Electra Heart was written and recorded in London and LA over the last 18 months whilst on tour.
Featuring
12 brand new self-written tracks, Marina handpicked a close group of
collaborators to write and produce with including Dr Luke (Katy Perry),
Rick Nowels (Madonna), Liam Howe (Sneaker Pimps) and Greg Kurstin (Lily
Allen).
Electra Heart is a blisteringly honest story of identity,
love, rejection, doomed romance and hope all tinged with humour and
British eccentricity.
