Last week I posted my exclusive video interview with Marina and the Diamonds, and I promised to share some photos my pal Joey snapped during Marina's completely packed show at Los Angeles' Shrine Expo Hall (May 11). Well, here they are, 44 pictures in all, and I must say they came out super spectacular! I also wanted to thank everyone for all the incredible responses and feedback I got on the interview, I am thrilled fans really enjoyed it (In MORE
This past weekend I had the chance to sit down with Welsh singer/songwriter Marina and the Diamonds right before her much buzzed about show at Los Angeles' Shrine Expo Hall. I interviewed her back in 2010 (watch it here in case you missed it) and since then she has become wildly popular and a bonafide (tongue-in-cheek) popstar all on her own terms. Three short years ago Marina played the Troubadour with a couple of hundred fans, Saturday night MORE
I've knocked Charli XCX down a few times, but I'm slowly starting to come around, and I must admit her debut album True Romance (iTunes) is actually quite decent. Now she's joined forces with one of my favorite people ever, Marina and the Diamonds, on a tasty new duet called "Just Desserts," which you can listen to below and download it here for free! The girls are also heading out on a North American tour together, dates are listed below, I'll MORE
At this point, having your song covered by Glee is an undeniable milestone for contemporary musicians. The musical dramedy, now in its fourth season, has been known to not only have its own songs dominate the iTunes charts, but to also help boost sales for the original material that inspires it. Take, for instance, Rihanna’s single, “Take A Bow,” which saw an astounding 189% sales increase after it was featured on the MORE
Oh this is exactly what I needed, a new music video from the lovely Marina and the Diamonds. It's for "State of Dreaming," one of the best cuts from her stellar album (and my top favorite album from 2012), Electra Heart. I've been very down lately, you might have heard on Facebook or Twitter, one of my cats, Charlie, is severely anemic and battling for his life, even requiring an emergency blood transfusion a few days ago which unfortunately cost MORE
The super lovely (and one of my favorite ladies of music) Marina and the Diamonds unexpectedly dropped a totally hot, new track (produced by Liam Howe) for us today called "E.V.O.L." in honor of Valentine's Day (and Electra Heart's birthday)! Take a listen below and download it here for free! https://twitter.com/MarinasDiamonds/status/302097154200178689 MORE
Without any intro or further ado, I finally present to you my top ten favorite albums of 2012! Marina and the Diamonds Electra Heart It certainly hasn't been a secret that Marina and the Diamonds would once again land on the top of my list. Her stunning debut album, The Family Jewels, topped my list back in 2010. Although I probably still prefer Jewels over Electra Heart, her sophomore effort comes in right behind it! Every track on the MORE
Marina and the Diamonds can't seem to get enough of America this past year. In support of her sophomore album Electra Heart she's currently on a second leg of her Lonely Hearts Club Tour stateside. She serenaded 3,000 "diamonds" at her sold-out show at Terminal 5 in Manhattan on Thursday and also stopped by The Paramount in Huntington on Long Island the next night. PopBytes attended the latter. The Paramount is a preferable venue because it holds MORE
Oh happy day! First a hot new video from Christina Aguilera, and now one from Marina and the Diamonds! It's for "How To Be A Heartbreaker," which was a track exclusive to the US release of Electra Heart. The song is fantastic, Marina looks amazing and there's a ton of hot, half-naked and wet guys, what more could we ask for? If you haven't had a chance to listen to Marina's latest album, do not miss out, it's definitely going to be my choice for MORE
This past Monday night Marina and the Diamonds played a private showcase on the rooftop of the Mondrian Hotel in SoHo to celebrate her sophomore release "Electra Heart." The hotel stands tall between the Canal subway stop where every storefront is written in Chinese, mixed with your American landmarks like Subway and Burger King and one of the best shopping districts in New York City. After doing my own shopping at the British Topman, I made my MORE
♡ I'm so behind on this one, yet I knew I couldn't miss the chance to post about Marina and the Diamonds' show here in Los Angeles back on July 10th. It was such a spectacular evening all around, everyone knows how much I adore Marina, this was my fourth time seeing her live! She was fantastic as per usual, the crowd ate up everything she did on stage, the energy was insane. It also happened to be the first night of her US tour, everyone was MORE
Last night here in Los Angeles was the first US date of Marina and the Diamonds' Lonely Hearts Club tour, and it was seriously fantastic on so many levels, I even got to chat with Marina for a bit at the after party. I'll be doing a proper review on the show complete with pictures and video, but for now please enjoy her latest single "How To Be A Heartbreaker"! The track appears only on the US version of her album Electra Heart which just dropped MORE
I can't even begin to talk about the sheer musical brilliance of Marina and the Diamonds! She's just the most amazing thing ever, you must watch her new music video for "Power & Control," the second single off Electra Heart! That album has already secured the top spot for my favorite albums of 2012 list, it's that good! Also make sure to check out Marina's debut The Family Jewels, which is just as stellar! MORE
Primadonna is finally here! It's the official lead single from Marina and the Diamonds' upcoming sophomore effort, Electra Heart, due out at the end of April. I think this is a totally stellar track (produced by Dr. Luke), I simply couldn't be more excited for her album to drop! The video is brilliant as well, chock full of random stuff (turtles, dogs, bikes, pizza, trashy romance novels), plus Marina looks absolutely gorgeous, I can't get enough MORE
