A few months ago I wrote what I thought would be a once off post about the Marina and the Diamonds song 'Hollywood', which was a bit of a choon. I tried to explain her (yeah, 'the Diamonds' are her fans.. :-/) appeal and how I linked her sound/themes to System of a Down. In the last week her new single Primadonna has been battering the airwaves and her new album is top of teh chartz. (yeah, they're still a thing).
Dat accent! Plus the melody is so good.
I prefer the old, brunette Marina. If ur listening Marina, u have the ability, ur hair was nicer back den. Though it's probably a STATEMENT. Actually this is 'part 4' it seems.. who is real marina???
00.37: Snare hit! And that's what I call generic club-girl pop...
...until 00.50 where her vocals drroooppp in that unique way
Love the backing vox that are perfect 'I'm a dumb rich girl' shtyle.
Not sure what's going on in the video really, if u such a primadonna y u spend ur time in an empty old house??!
Dem eyelashes and dat tat :-/ not sure if want. Though she is pretty adorable usually it seems.
She has a dog and turtle/tortoise though, that's pretty cool.
brb, starting a 'bring back "hollywood" version of marina' campaign
