I love Marina! I discovered her in the music issue of NYLON last year, and started listening to her music. When I found out she had an album coming out, I rejoiced and pre-ordered it. She's just amazing. Her voice is so beautiful and so are her clothes and her face. Muchoo amore for Marina!!

Isn't more like Marina plus the diamonds? What kind of music does she make?

'and the Diamonds' is just a play on her name, Diamandis, it's kinda her stage name a bit like Florence and the Machine I think. You'll find a lot of her stuff on Youtube - she's a great vocalist and does nice, tuneful poppy music.

Marina And The DIAMONDS
By MATT DIEHL
Photography SEBASTIAN KIM
Eerie like Kurt Weill one
moment, uplifting like Abba
the next, Marina Diamandis ’s
pop-artful debut album, The
Family Jewels (Chop Shop/
Atlantic Records, to be released
May 25), documents the 24-
year-old Greek-Welsh
Londoner ’s relentless pursuit of
fame with savagely self-aware
wit. “I was pulling out my
hair / The day I cut the deal /
Chemically calm, ” Diamandis
sings on the album’s opener,
“Are You Satisfied?,” her
theatrically supernatural vocals
front and center. Diamandis,
who performs under the
moniker Marina And The
Diamonds, embarked on her
unabashed quest for stardom
when she was in her late
teens; she scoured Madonna
biographies for tips and even
auditioned in drag for a boy
band. “I don’t want to say I
was delusional, but I was
fearless, ” Diamandis explains.
“For so long, the essence of my
existence was my obsession
with making it. I cringe when I
say that, but I can ’t lie. Then I
figured out I didn’t want to be
Britney Spears—I wanted to
challenge people.” Indeed, in
songs like “Hollywood” and “I
Am Not a Robot,” arch musings
informed by feminism,
psychology, and an outsider’s
fascination with American
mythology are arranged
around radio-ready hooks.
“ The currency of provocation
right now is all about being
sexy, but I ’m just bored with
it,” she says. “I want to
provoke people with thoughts,
not by taking my clothes off.
It ’s time to move on from
Stripperville.”

And a bit more news about it... (dailymail.co.uk

Welsh pop sensation Marina Diamandis, frontwoman of pop band Marina and the Diamonds, is the new face of Max Factor.

The 25-year-old singer had a top five hit with her debut album The Family Jewels last year.

Marina, famed for her love of colourful clothes, will be seen fluttering her lashes as a brand ambassador at Max Factor’s Big Night Out Campaign this month.

‘Marina is such a colourful personality she was a perfect fit for us,’ said a Max Factor insider.

‘The bosses believe her uber-cool appeal will attract a younger, more trendy market.’

Marina, who wore a vintage Chanel bubble-gum pink skirt with neon pink lipstick on a recent photoshoot, will be joined by another big name in the campaign.

I heard on the radio a couple of weeks ago that the Norwegian designer Fam Irvoll and Marina will collaborate and design clothes for her.
