To tide us over until she released her much-awaited second album, Marina And The Diamonds has announced details of a one off single ‘Radioactive’ set for release on October 3rd.
The 25-year-old Greek/Welsh singer-songwriter has been very busy over the past few months working on the much-awaited follow up to her critically-acclaimed debut album 'The Family Jewels'. She’s also been touring the USA with the current queen of pop, Katy Perry.
Now Marina has joined forces with superstar pop-producing duo Stargate (Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy Perry) to release the end of summer track ‘Radioactive’. The song acts as the perfect stopgap until details of her forthcoming album are revealed. The lyrics are unmistakably Marina, but with a new sound more suited to the dancefloor than ever before.
Speaking about the new songe, Marina commented.I wrote "Radioactive" in New York in the middle of a heat wave. Introduced to a glittering new nightlife, I fell in love with New York; it has this magic, fizzing white energy that no other city in the world has. I felt happy and was inspired to write a song that felt light and euphoric, a more streamlined, minimalistic style of songwriting. I have changed my approach to songwriting completely, and as a result, written songs I would never have written on my own (i.e on my shit Argos keyboard alone in my bedroom in London).
I’ve been working hard on my new album for a year and a half and hope 'Radioactive' can tide you over until its ready... (Argos still features on some of the songs).
I'd love to introduce you all to something soon. An ancient Greek tragedy, old Hollywood fantasy... "Electra Heart".
