‘Electra Heart’ is a huge leap forward for Marina and promises to be one of the most exciting pop releases of 2012, underlining that she is amongst the most talented young artists around. A ground-to-air missile of ambitious and confident songs, the record was written and recorded in London and LA over the last 18 months. Featuring 12 brand new self-written tracks including the hit single 'Primadonna', Marina handpicked a close group of collaborators to write and produce with including Dr Luke (Katy Perry), Rick Nowels (Madonna), Liam Howe (Sneaker Pimps) and Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen).
‘Electra Heart’ covers the gamut of identity, love, rejection, doomed romance and hope all tinged with humour and eccentricity.
Marina says,”It's an ode to dysfunctional love. I based the project around character types commonly found in love stories, film and theatre, usually ones associated with power and control in love, as opposed to weakness or defeat. I guess it was a way of dealing with the embarrassment that, for the first time in my life, I got 'played'. Rejection is a universally embarrassing topic and Electra Heart is my response to that. It is a frank album”
