Electra Heart (Platinum Blonde Edition)

Product Information

Jealousy was initially for The Family Jewels, and then for die Life, her initial second album, which caused confusion when she told fans it would be on her second album. [63] Non-Album [ ] Marina said she found pop songs, because of their simple lyrics, harder to write, and why she co-wrote with the likes of Dr. Luke. [22] It's not an alter ego. It's how an actor plays a part, a character they're playing. Whatever is happening to me is happening to her, because I am her. Though I definitely meant what I said about Electra Heart being the antithesis of me, it's not as primitive as that. The whole concept was inspired by realising an Aristotle book called Poetics.* It's about analysing Greek Tragedy, and I saw so many parallels between that and Hollywood that I realised old Hollywood is our modern-day mythology, people like Marilyn and Elvis. It's more about discovering a glittering underbelly of American society than, 'Oh, woe is me, I tried to get famous and it didn't work out how I thought, people CRITISED ME.' ❞ At some point Marina then intended to do a side project under the name "Electra Heart," [6] when she was told by her manager it wasn't possible, [7] she merged the projects. Yes I think it [Radioactive] does [sound like a 2011-era hit single] and it's not something I've done before. If this was a year ago I don't mind saying now that I would have been, like, "no way am I doing this". I was not even up for working with anyone. This is why these two songs fit really well together actually, because 'Fear & Loathing' is about genuinely not feeling bitter or crazy or jealous any more (nervous laugh) and actually feeling a lot better off for it. And so I've been working with a lot of other people. ❞ Writing [ ]

[49] The Archetypes [ ] Main Article: The Archetypes Eternity, never released, produced in Stargate's June 2011 sessions, it was possibly scrapped for Primadonna and Valley of the Dolls as they share similar lyrics and were produced in the latter part of 2011. https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/marina-diamandis-releases-cathartic-concept-album-1.371124/#ixzz3069fhHxl

In October 2011, Marina said: "I will have a lot of songs on this album that probably won't go on it, I have too many now, so I'll be giving stuff away [to other artists]." [23] Later telling Planet Notion in 2012, she "ended up with" "about 22" songs. [24] It makes sense that critics didn’t like it. Diamandis mentioned that “the blueprint was a goth Britney Spears,” a star who was notoriously treated poorly by the media; Spears was dismissed, underestimated, and publicly trashed for her open sexuality. Electra Heart is aware of those consequences, so it is unsparing. The album is indulgently grotesque and desperate to provoke: “I want blood, guts, and angel cake/ I’m gonna puke it anyway,” she intones on “Teen Idle.” It’s also unapologetic: “I know I’ve got a big ego/ I really don’t know why it’s such a big deal, though,” she drawls on the buzzy “Primadonna.” It mixes artifice with earnestness; it gives in to female stereotypes while also breaking free of them. When telling NME about the concept of the album, she prefaced it by saying, “It’s a bit cringe.” But that’s the best part.A2: Warner Chappell Music Ltd.
