Marina and The Diamonds is just one preson, rather than a musical collective from the 50s. Half Welsh, half Greek singer is not your typical pop performer. Her distorted, lyrically surreal pop is a lot like Bat For Lashes meeting The Dresden Dolls and having a baby. Working mainly with the fromer Sneaker Pimp Liam Howe who has worked with the bands like Radiohead, her debut album is due in February, titled The Family Jewels.
Admitting that she’s a bit scared of failure because she’s very sensitive when people critisize her, she’s still determined to go on and fight for fame. She says: “I really want to be pop, because I want to be relevant and I want lots of people to listen to my songs.”
We’re not scared for her. Her single Mowgli’s Road is already out and loved. Shrieking like Kate Bush, but not losing the elegance of Regina Spector, this girl puts Little Boots and the likes to shame. Catchy tune with toe tapping percussion with amazing vocals and pure pop chorus will make you adore it.
