but you're not a piece of art*

If anyone knows how to be a heartbreaker it's Marina And The Diamonds. In August of 2014 one weekend two of my friends were bored so they looked up the How To Be A Heartbreaker music video and showed me who Marina And The Diamonds is. First of all a great song choice/ music video from Marina by the way. I instantly fell in love with her music. Her songs are amazing and oh my goodness do I wish I could be similar to her.

Marina Lambrini Diamandis is a Welsh singer-songwriter. She was born on October 10, 1985 in Brynmawr. Her stage name is Marina And The Diamonds and people try to say the diamonds are her band mates but the diamonds are actually her fans. She has released three full albums, had two unreleased albums, and two EP's. Each of the three albums about three years apart. In the three albums is a new era of her. All showing how she has improved herself.

Here is the title of this blog. This lyric is actually from the song Power and Control for Marina's Electra Heart album. I love this song so much and definitely think you should listen to it. Oh and also watch the music video!







Albums: 

Mermaid Vs Sailor:

For Marinas very first starting music album this was amazing. Yes it was obvious the recording room was the greatest and she was on the top of the list for singers, but compared to nearly every single musical artist when they first started Marina was the best. This album shows that she was most likely going to make it far and she has! I don't listen to this album as much as the others but all the songs are wonderful.

The Family Jewels: 

The Family Jewels is Marina's first real album. This album came out on February 15, 2010. She released singles before releasing this album. Songs such as Obsessions, Hollywood, and Oh No! In this album you see Marina showing how she might hate herself. Each and every song is very wonderful and really recommended. My favorite song from this album has to be either Hermit the Frog or Oh No!

Electra Heart:

 On April 27, 2012 my favorite Marina and the Diamonds album was released, Electra Heart. This is the Electra Heart ear where she actually turned into Electra Heart. Her hair, clothes, and personality was somewhat changed.  This album show Marina fighting with herself. She changed everything for this album. All the songs show how she could be fighting with herself and how she wants to be someone else. My favorite song from this album is How To Be A Heartbreaker.

Froot: 

Marinas last album before her stop as a writer (for now at least) was Froot. If you don't know how to say it, it's pronounced just like fruit but spelled Froot.  In this phase it shows how Marina is accepting who she really is. The person she is now she hated in the past, but is now thinking that she is good. Each song could bring together all three eras: Froot, Electra Heart, and The Family Jewels. All the songs show how she hated herself, fought with herself, and now accepting herself. My favorite song(s) from this album is Savages and Solitare. 

My Concert:

On April 14, 2015 I went to my first real concert. It of course was Marina And The Diamonds. It was the best thing ever. The opening act was Kiesza. I went with two of my friends (one my best friend at the time, but I'm still friends with both) the friends were Kristina and Jessie and my mom and their parents. I got a T-shirt and a tote bag that says Marina And The Diamonds. The show started around 10 and started with the song Bubblegum B**ch. She played songs from all three of her albums. Songs such as Obsessions, I Am Not A Robot, and Savages. I got so close to meeting her but our moms were rushing us to leave. I will always remember that day, it was amazing!
