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 categorise 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 colourful, 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 was 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 mould. 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 colourful 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.” Skip to main contentCountryBrazilBulgariaGermanyHungaryMexicoPolandRomaniaSouth AfricaSpainUSNewslettersMakeupHairSkinFashionEmpowermentEntertainmentWellnessVideoDiscount CodesMakeupHairSkinFashionEmpowermentEntertainmentWellnessVideoDiscount CodesView All Discount CodesLOOKFANTASTIC Discount CodesLovehoney Discount CodesASOS Discount CodesFeelunique Discount CodesVery Discount CodesThe Body Shop Discount CodesRiver Island Discount CodesNike Discount CodesHush Discount CodesBoots Discount CodesFacebookInstagramPinterestTiktokTwitterYouTube Another one recommended to me by a friend. The Family Jewels is a predominantly piano rock album by MARINA, formerly known as Marina & the Diamonds. I haven't heard anything from them prior to hearing this, though I did preview "Oh No!" before listening to the project in full, and boy did that pull me in, but more on that later. The Album opens with "Are You Satisfied?," which sets the tone for the album very well. Many strings and prominent piano, with Marina's unique voice at the forefront. Additionally, this song in particular uses some smoothly distorted electric guitar as well, giving the track some more drive. it isn't my favorite from the album, but works well as an opener. However, things really pick up with "Shampain," where the dark, yet clever lyricism starts to truly become noticeable. Starting off with a darker sounding synth bass (which I absolutely love), it quickly transitions into a happier sounding song. This "happy song, dark lyrics" dynamic makes numerous appearances on this album. In this case, the piano driven instrumental makes for a great backing to her story of drowning out her pain with "Shampain," but only feeling more and more guilty about it afterwards, and this is what keeps this album from feeling derivative and basic. Although the "happy song, dark lyrics" dynamic has been overused to oblivion, the way Mariana does it stays interesting throughout the album. Even on songs where I don't like the instrumental, I cannot find a spot on this album where I can complain about the lyrics. Oh, and of course I have to mention the amazing chorus of this song. Some amazing harmonies there, making for a great second track. The next track, "I Am Not a Robot," is the closest I get really disliking a song on this album. I don't care for the over-the-top singing on this track, especially on the chorus. It is very out of place. The instrumental feels bland, and while the lyrics stay interesting, lyrics can't save a song that's bad instrumentally. I do like the vocoder use on the pre-chorus though. Luckily, "Girls" quickly brings me back into the experience. The piano driven instrumental is really good, and all the details add to the experience, though the accordion feels a bit weird during the bridge. And unlike the last track, the over-the-top vocals on this one feel very fitting on this track. "Mowgli's road," with a name referencing Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, is a solid track, but is brought down by little details like the not-so pleasant bridge. That said, it still keeps the creativity from some of the past tracks. "Obsessions" isn't a song that I have too much to say about. The clavi that appears later in the track is a fitting choice for the song, but other than that it doesn't really bring many new ideas to the table. But it is at this halfway point that things start to become much more consistent. "Hollywood" immediately made me read along with the lyrics. "Hollywood infected your brain, you wanted kissing in the rain" is an infectious chorus, and the instrumental is also really well done. Another highlight from this project. The following song "The Outsider" is another song improved by it's lyrics. The background vocals on the chorus repeating "On my own again" are what make me keep coming back. The theatrical "Hermit the Frog," is a song that reminds me of Faces from Owl Eyes, and EP released the following year (especially the song "1+1"). The chorus also sounds similar to some of the songs on Miike Snow's first two full-length projects, the first of which of which came out the year prior to the release of this album. It just shows how much this album uses the sounds of it's time, but in ways that don't let it sound dated even over a decade later. This song is followed by the most popular on this album, and my personal favorite, the groovy. danceable, piano-driven cut "Oh No!" From the start of this thing, with the abstract percussion pattern and little electronic details, this thing is a consistent pop banger. The piano riff on the verses is very gratifying. The vocals are on point, and this song has some amazing production. Although it is a bit different from some of the other songs on this album, it still fits in perfectly. It also continues the lyrical dynamic I mentioned previously, with lines like, "If I fail I'll fall apart" and "Now real life has no appeal" standing out. The chorus is once again, infectious. This song is a masterpiece, showcasing all of this album's best qualities and adding more ideas into the mix, but still keeping it consistent. The album continues from there with a bit of a weaker track, "Rootless." Though I do appreciate it for it's attention to detail, it doesn't really add much else to the experience. It could've been a B-side if you ask me. This is followed by a well-placed slow burner, "Numb," once again displaying that previously mentioned lyrical dynamic. It also has a sound that Lana Del Rey would go on to use in the years following this release. Finally, this album concludes with the odd closer "Guilty." Unlike a lot of the tracks on this album, the soundscape fits the lyrics, sounding dark and sinister. This might be the only song on here that doesn't feel happy at any point throughout. This makes for an interesting closing track, but the placement was most definitely intentional and well-planned. The Family Jewels is a very creative project both sonically and lyrically. From flat out bops like "Oh No!" to slow burners like "Numb," Marina creates a very unique and well-crafted experience, with a great voice and lyrics to back it up. Edit: This album grew on me with repeated listens. Unlike Be the Cowboy, where I only came back to two or three of the tracks, I came back to many of the songs on this project. To give brief updates on my thoughts on each song, "Are You Satisfied?" grew on me a lot. The lyrics are some of the most hard-hitting on here and the instrumental really sets the tone for the album. I still agree with my previous statement that this song works well as an opener, but I think the reason I didn't care for it that much is because I wasn't ready for this special blend of genres. I finally see why my friend praised this song so much out of them all. "Shampain" has become my new personal favorite from this collection. The distorted synth-bass at the beginning that continues throughout the rest of the track is still amazing. The lyrics are the best on here. Immaculate production, amazing chorus, and so much more make this track one of Marina's best. "I Am Not a Robot" still isn't my favorite on here, but I can appreciate the beautiful moments on here a lot more. Certain details bring the track down, but the lyrics are on point and it adds to the broad range of sounds this album covers. "Girls" is a still a solid track. Not much has changed with my thoughts on this one. "Mowgli's Road" grew on me a little bit. The song is well crafted. The clavi on this song is a welcome addition too. The bridge with those weird vocals still doesn't sit right with me, but the rest of the song is really good. "Obsessions" starts off a bit boring, but grows into a more complete piece. Not much else for this one either. My original thoughts mostly still apply. "Hollywood" is as much of a 2010's pop banger as it was when I first heard it. Hosting even more clever lyricism, this song, as I said in my first review, is truly "infectious." "The Outside" remains a highlight. Is it because of the background vocals singing "On my own again" during the chorus? Maybe, but it doesn't mean you should write the rest of the song off. The build-ups to each chorus make each chorus all the more satisfying. "Hermit the Frog" displays the theatrical elements present throughout this project most prominently, but as I'll touch on more in my final thoughts, those influences really add to the track. The many different harmonies on the last chorus is one of the most beautiful parts of a song I've heard. Plus, it showcases Marina's knack for good chord progressions, which appear countless times on this project. This one heavily grew on me. Very inventive. My thoughts on "Oh No!" remain the same. Great track. "Rootless" features some nice subtle orchestral swells during the verses. It has a very elegant sound, and although it isn't one of my favorites, it doesn't take much away from the experience as a whole. "Numb" seems to be a least favorite for many listeners, but I find it to be a gorgeous ballad. The chorus is beautiful as usual. This song takes the elegant sound of the previous track to the next level. And finally, "Guilty" remains a great closer to the project. So what are my final thoughts? The Family Jewels is one of the better pop albums of the 2010's. it offers some of the best pop songs of the decade, covering a diverse range of sounds. I could listen to almost any of these songs on repeat or just listen to the whole project, and that's one of the best qualities of an album. It's even a quality you'll find in my favorite album of all time, The Bones of What You Believe. Additionally, I have to give props to Marina for utilizing theatrical elements in a way that brings more life to the songs. Usually, these elements only make a song overly dramatic and annoying, but the way they're cleverly implemented here makes for a more fulfilling experience. Those elements, combined with the pop sounds of the early 2010's with a piano rock twist, and of course Marina's signature sarcastic vocal delivery, make for a very satisfying experienced. It's a shame that she never quite built this sound up into something even greater with her next releases. So yes, Marina. With this project, I am very satisfied. BONUS: "The Family Jewels," which is the title track for this album, ended up being a bonus track only found on the deluxe edition. This cut is creative in its own unique ways though, so I encourage those that listen to this album to make sure they hear this song along with it. It should've made is onto the final cut, as it would've added some cool new 14 January 2022 Track Ratings: 1. Are You Satisfied?: 6/10 2. Shampain: 9/10 3. I Am Not a Robot: 3/10 4. Girls: 8/10 5.

Guilty: 8/10 Favorite Track: Shampain Least Favorite Track: Rootless Overall Rating: Walijska wokalistka Marina And The Diamonds, która zaśpiewała przed koncertem Coldplay na Stadionie Narodowym we wrześniu, ponownie odwiedzi Polskę. Piosenkarka wystąpi 30 stycznia 2013 r. w warszawskiej Stodole (datę koncertu zmieniono na 16 kwietnia) Marina And The Diamonds zagra pełen biletowany koncert, podczas którego wykona utwory ze swoich dwóch dotychczasowych płyt - "Family Jewels" i "Electra Heart". Energia i urok wokalistki w połączeniu z jej specyficznym poczuciem humoru i oczywiście przebojową muzyką zapowiadają moc wrażeń. Słuchacze, którzy mieli możliwość zobaczenia artystki w akcji podczas jej krótkiego występu przed koncertem grupy Coldplay, bawili się znakomicie przy jej piosenkach, o czym świadczą amatorskie nagrania zamieszczone w internecie. Koncert Mariny And The Diamonds zapowiada się jako jedno z ciekawszych wydarzeń koncertowych w 2013 roku. Film Marina Lambrini Diamandis, ukrywająca się pod pseudonimem Marina And The Diamonds, zadebiutowała w lutym 2010 r. albumem "Family Jewels". Płyta wylansowała dwa spore przeboje - "Hollywood" i "I Am Not A Robot". Estetyka utworów wokalistki oraz sposób interpretacji przyniósł jej porównania do takich artystek, jak Regina Spektor czy Shakira. Sama zainteresowana wśród swoich inspiracji wymienia Madonnę, Britney Spears, Garbage i Kate Bush. Drugi album wokalistki zatytułowany "Electra Heart" przyniósł zmianę repertuaru - pojawiły się akcenty typowo klubowe oraz więcej brzmień syntetycznych. Płytę zapowiadały single "Radioactive" oraz "Fear And Loathing", które zdobyły uznanie krytyków i słuchaczy. Najnowszy singiel Mariny And The Diamonds "How To Be A Heartbreaker" ukazał się w atmosferze sensacji - wytwórnia płytowa próbowała zablokować premierę teledysku do piosenki twierdząc, że gwiazda wygląda w nim zbyt niekorzystnie. Marina będzie obchodziła swoje 27 urodziny 10 października.
