Her Name is Marina, and We Are the Diamonds
Hello all! As we’re all feeling the post-Memorial Day blues in hopes that the coming weekend will be another three days instead of the usual two, I bring you the sweet sounds of Marina and the Diamonds. Hmmm. How to characterize the sound of the Welsh Miss Marina Lambrini Diamandis? Well, on a glamorous bus ride back to this pretty-pretty city of New York, I came up with the perfect formula… she hands down is on the same wavelength as Florence and the Machine with sounds of Regina Spektor, Lady GaGa, and Blondie. I’m waving my hands around to this new wave sound to get your bunny ears and eyes to pay attention to me while I beg you to be captivated by Marina’s Diamond… hehe you caught the sexual innuendo in that, too, didn’t you?
Her debut album, The Family Jewels, was just released Stateside last week, and I’ve been bouncing to it since. While listening to the album in its entirety, as I have said before, I immediately thought of Florence and the Machine, which both excited me and disappointed me. It disappointed me because of the striking similarities of the band names; HOWEVER, while “The Machine” in Florence and the Machine refers to her back-up band, “The Diamonds” are Marina’s fans as she has said in concert, “I’m Marina. You are the diamonds.” BRILLIANT (like a diamond, get it? eh? eh?)!
Some of my favorite tracks are definitely “Shampain,” “Hollywood,” and “Rootless,” but I leave it up to you to pick your faves! The album is now in stores and on iTunes. Get involved!!
See you at the cluuuub, where we can share some “Shampain”!!
