Today is the official release of Marina and the Diamonds‘ Crown Jewel EP, featuring “I Am Not A Robot,” a snazzy new version of “Seventeen,” “Simplify,” and a delicious, absolutely essential mix of “Robot” by Starsmith.
And since I never really did “properly” introduce the girl that I consider thoroughly thrilling…
Marina & The Diamonds sounds a bit like if Regina Spektor met briefly with Fiona Apple (on a good day), Katy Perry (on speakerphone), and Frankmusik for tea (EDIT: AND YES, OF COURSE KATE BUSH–I just felt the reference was too obvious as it’s been used in every write-up about her already) and then they all got into an argument but then patched it up in the form of a massive duet.
Please consider yourself formally introduced.
