Thinking it would be funny to rhyme "idle" with "suicidal," she decided to write the song about youth—specifically how she did not live out her teen years the way she wished she had. She called Teen Idle (along with Primadonna) an Marina and the Diamonds's live performances are presented in the concert posters, handbills, and other memorabilia available at Classic Posters.

Since she was a child she lived in Brynmawr and raised in nearby Pandy, then moved to London as a teenager to become a professional singer, despite having little formal musical experience. Pnv6Hm. The lyrics to “Enjoy Your Life,” off 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 categorize 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 colorful, 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: 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 mold. 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 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.” You’ve probably heard of her, if not her music. The half-Greek, half-Welsh singer/songwriter has given the world a multitude of ‘bops,’ as the kids say these days since she hit the music scene with her band in 2009. They’re not wrong, though. Sure, Miss Marina Diamandis only really came to fruition as an alt-pop star with her band Marina and the Diamonds in 2012 (at least in the states), but that still has given you almost seven years to discover her music and fall madly in love with it.    If you’re just discovering her now or even if you’ve been a fan for awhile, let’s quickly recap her career and go down a fan’s version of Marina memory lane (because Wikipedia can just be too much sometimes) to get all of you up to speed on what the talented singer has been up to. Source  The Family Jewels Era (2009-2011) Source    This was a year for Marina and the Diamonds to really grow from being a small UK act with an EP under her belt and “uncommercial sound” to releasing one of her best songs to date: †   The lyric “I’m obsessed with the mess that’s America,” shows the intelligence that Miss Diamandis clearly has, because she knew that America was a mess long before this social and political climate of today.    Not too long after that came a string of singles to help promote her first full-length album and the coinciding tours for it. Marina and the Diamonds opened up for the pop princess of the early 2000s, Katy Perry, the summer after The Family Jewels. but also had her own, smaller headlining tour to showcase to the US that a 13 track record that explores art, sensuality, society, life, and death can be as fun and beloved as “Teenage Dream” was. (No shade to the soon-to-be Mrs. Bloom.)    You’d think with those themes that maybe she was “uncommercial” as critics then called her. Wrong! Marina and the Diamonds’ fourth single off that record is her hit “Oh No!” which is not only an 11/10 music video with a cartoon-esque color theme and some of the most relatable lyrics (“I feel like I’m the worst, so I always act like I’m the best,” …anyone?) but it also secured her spot on Just Dance 4.    Yes, that’s right. Miss “uncommercial” was not only opening up for Katy Perry in 2011 but was featured on one of the best selling video games of 2012. You may remember the Just Dance dance that went along with the hit song. It was as colorful and whimsical as the music video, just without a beautiful, pink-lipped Marina Diamandis singing at you.  The Electra Heart Era (2012-2013) Source    If you remember seeing people painting little eyeliner heart on the tops of their cheeks when you were in middle school, it’s because of a little song called “How to Be Heartbreaker” by the then increasingly successful Marina and the Diamonds.    As Marina secured her spot as one of the edgier, but also more elegant pop musicians at the time, she was crafting her second record: Electra Heart. This concept album had less of an indie pop feel and more dance-pop undertones and was based on a character, aptly named Electra Heart, who was over being heartbroken and dealing with awful people that were as lovely as she was.    Electra, as the “How to be a Heartbreaker” lyrics state, wore her heart on her cheek. Thus, so did Marina as she brought her character to life on stage. She donned the heart in photo shoots, live performances, on the album cover, and more. It encompassed this stage in Marina and the Diamonds’ career and Marina’s life herself.    Although, it wasn’t the first song to be released off this record. The first single, and arguably the most successful, for this album was “Primadonna,” a self-absorbed hit that had Marina singing about how all she wanted was the world, which is understandable.    “Primadonna” had every girl wanting to put ribbons in her hair and heart on her cheek just to dance in front of a mirror with her friends, putting extra emphasis on the facial expressions and really enunciating the words with the most Marina-esque Welsh accent. Trust me, I know from experience.  The Froot Era (2014-2016) Source    The thing with Froot was that it wasn’t a concept record, but the aesthetic it had was so centralized and so prominent that it became a new version of Marina and the Diamonds’ career. That’s what Marina does, she crafts an art, a style, and a sound for every new piece of music she puts out and runs with it; similarly to that of David Bowie and Lady Gaga.    The title track, “Froot,” was released as the first single toward the latter end of 2014 and it started off this new journey with fruits, feelings, and memories all encapsulates in a 12 song album. There are immense highs and immense lows tracked on this record, but each song tells that story – albeit not in a character-driven/concept album way that I think a lot of fans expected her to do; especially fresh off Electra Heart’s storyline.    Marina went a little more all over the place here, but it still fell in her signature alt-pop category, now touching upon elements of dream pop that sparkled even more so within her vocal range. The song “Blue,” pulls on that dream pop style, but also sounds quite like the version of “Oh, No!” The video, while much better cinematically, is colorful and features yet another pink lipped Marina, except this one is more mature and has honed her style (or at least, the style found in this era of hers).  The MARINA Era (2018-present) Source    As soon as all the social media names changed, that’s when fans and media outlets know that the “and the Diamonds” era was officially over. While it may come as sad for many fans, including myself, Marina explained that it felt like the natural thing to do. The organic course of events for her music and her career. Less gimmicky, more herself, and the calmest she has felt in her life in years. It’s post an almost three-year hiatus of travel and fun and reflection, so it’s lovely to see her come into her own as both the Marina we know and love, and the MARINA that is going to showcase to the world again she is always evolving.    So far we have been granted with three songs post “and the Diamonds,” and two were collaborations, so those are not going to be on her upcoming April release Love + Fear. Although, her latest collaboration with Clean Bandit and Luis Fonsi for the track “Baby” features classic Marina twists and high notes, and is overall a stellar song to kick off the new year with. The video for it has racked up over 136 million views on Youtube – something wildly new for Miss Diamandis, even though her decade long pop career has been outstanding from start to finish.    The first single off this fourth LP of hers is “Handmade Heaven,” a somber, complex piece that is reminiscent of older themes, but she sings them in a way and through words that show her maturity and put on full display that this record won’t be as happy-go-lucky, in my feelings, one dimensional as her others may have been (at least, what it may have seemed like on the surface to more casual listeners).    In an Instagram live stream question and answer session, Marina talked about this MARINA era she has embarked on and how that plays into this new album. Love + Fear is not a one size fits all pop album. It’s two sets of music that are pieced together in a category, those being – you guessed it! – love and fear. She explained that she noticed while listening to her new songs that some of the songs fit together in a way that depicted a more emotional, upbeat feeling and some that fell into one of nerves and trepidation.  Source    If you’re interested in delving into – or back into – Marina (and the Diamonds) and the music she has made over the last ten years prior to her new album’s release on April 26, I would not only recommend the singles off these albums that were mentioned, but I would watch these two videos specifically to really feel her out. Her headlining act in Brazil at Lollapalooza in 2016, which was phenomenal, and her Electra Heart showcase in Germany in 2012, which is equally as phenomenal. She’s a powerhouse vocalist, an underrated lyricist, and one of the greatest live performers of the 2010s, no doubt. This concert footage showcases that and more and will give you enough insight into who she was and who she has the capability of being now that she is, simply put: MARINA.  Walijska wokalistka Marina And The Diamonds, która zaśpiewała przed koncertem Coldplay na Stadionie Narodowym we wrześniu, ponownie odwiedzi Polskę.

ABOUT MARINA:Marina Lambrini Diamandis is a singer-songwriter known professionally as Marina And The Diamonds, was born October 10th 1985 (age 30).She was born in Brynmawr, Blaenau Gwent, Wales. She moved to London as a teenager to become a professional singer, despite having little formal musical has described herself as an "indie artist with pop goals" and often analyses components of human behavior in her music. 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... I was the one who always skived off choir, but I had an incredible music teacher who managed to convince me I could do anything."At the age of 16, she moved to Greece with her father "to connect with my heritage and learn to speak the language" and sang Greek folk songs with her grandmother. Having earned an International Baccalaureate at St. Catherine's British Embassy School in Athens, she returned to Wales two years later. She and her mother then moved to Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire. "Obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.", she worked for two months at a petrol station im order to earn money to move to not having a musical background, Diamandis was able to create lyrics due to her childhood love of writing. She first began writing music when she was 18 years old; she moved to London to attend dance school but quit two months 2005, she created the stage name "Marina and the Diamonds"; after coming to prominence, "the Diamonds" was established as a reference to her fans, instead of her backing by the example of Daniel Johnston, Diamandis decided to compose her own music and stop going to auditions; she taught herself how to play the piano and recorded music on a keyboard.

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.
