MARINA

Marina Diamandis is one half of the duo Marina and the Diamonds. Early on, she claimed that her inspirations were Britney Spears and Gwen Stefani. Her piano/keyboard-driven songs vary from melancholic ballads to out-and-out glam pop. The variety in her music makes it hard to classify or pigeonhole her music, and comparisons were made with artists as diverse as Regina Spektor and Elvis Costello..

Marina Diamandis first single, 'Obsessions/Mowgli's Road,' was issued by indie label Neon Gold in the U.S. Her second full-length studio outing, Electra Heart, was preceded by the singles 'Primadonna' and 'Radioactive' Diamandis third album, 2015's Froot, was a radical departure in working style; instead of a large cast of producers, she co-produced the album with David Kosten and wrote all the songs herself. The Family Jewels, her debut album, hit number five in the UK, and also cracked the Top 40 in America.
