Electra Heart (Platinum Blonde Edition)

Product Information

In August 2011, Marina said each song would be granted a music video, set in 70s America, about a character called Electra Heart. An idea inspired by the parallels between Greek Mythology and Old Hollywood. [50] She had intended initially to have 15 parts, [51] with 5 of those in the same vein as The Archetypes and Su-Barbie-A, [52] with the missing three presumably being the other three Archetypes. In another interview she said the visuals were inspired by the 1976 film " Valley of the Dolls". [49] The Archetypes [ ] Main Article: The Archetypes 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.' ❞

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 [ ] B1, B4: Warner Chappell Music Ltd. (PRS) / EMI April Music, Inc. o/b/o Itself and Kurstin Music (ASCAP).

Electra Heart [vinyl]

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. https://web.archive.org/web/20140426232146/http://www.planetnotion.com/2012/03/16/marina-the-diamonds/ https://www.popjustice.com/briefing/introducing-electra-heart-and-reintroducing-marina-the-diamonds/ Bump in the Night, whilst part of Stargate's Electra Heart sessions, the theme of ghosts and the line "calm down Marina" instead of "Electra" means the song wasn't intended for the album. Bubblegum Bitch and Electra Heart were written before Bump in the Night, and include the phrase Electra Heart. Marina Diamandis' second studio album, Electra Heart, was a breakout moment for the Welsh singer-songwriter. Released ten years ago today, it was her first album to reach #1 in the U.K., Ireland, and Scotland. It was a hit in America, where the record was certified gold, thanks to hit singles "Primadonna," "Bubblegum Bitch," "How To Be A Heartbreaker" and "Teen Idle."
