Ever since she emerged at the tail-end of the 2000s as Marina and the Diamonds, Marina Diamandis has been a blast of fresh air with her elastic vocals, indelible left-of-center pop hooks, and fantastical world-building. From her playful but probing explorations of female archetypes on second record Electra Heart, to the technicolor disco of Froot, to the apocalyptic pop of Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land, the Welsh-Greek singer is in a state of constant evolution. All of which we get into in this conversation.
Returning with her sixth record Princess of Power, her first as a fully independent artist, Marina walks us through the new album, a shimmering Italo-disco pop juggernaut. She discusses her battle with chronic fatigue syndrome and how that’s affected her life and process, and how now, at 39 she’s really standing in her power, but also eager to get back to FUN. For Marina it’s not just about healing through writing, it’s also about writing to bring who she wants to be into existence.
Plus we talk poetry, mushroom trips, house parties, dating, loneliness, her tight-knit circle of friends, and that one time she dressed as a boy to audition to be in a boyband, and so much more.
