Abergavenny, Wales, United Kingdom (2009 – present)

Marina Lambrini Diamandis (Greek: Μαρίνα-Λαμπρινή Διαμάντη, pronounced /diːəˈmændi/ dee-a-man-dis, born October 10, 1985 in Abergavenny, Wales, United Kingdom), better known by her stage name Marina And The Diamonds, is a Greek-Welsh singer. Despite the name, she is a solo act, the “Diamonds” being a reference to her fans. Her eponymous name consists of Diamandis’ first name and the translation of her surname, which means “Diamonds” in Greek.

Diamandis released her first single (a double A-side single Obsessions/Mowgli’s Road) through Neon Gold Records on Valentine’s Day, 2009, closely followed by The Crown Jewels EP in June 2009. Now signed to 679 Recordings, Her first single with the label was Mowgli’s Road, released in November 2009. In January 2010 she reached #2 on the BBC Sound of 2010 poll list. This was followed by the release of her debut full-length studio album, The Family Jewels, in February 22 2010, and her debut American release, The American Jewels EP on May 25 2010.

The Family Jewels peaked at #5 in the UK Albums Chart and was certified Silver in the United Kingdom days before its release. Hollywood was released as the lead single from the album on February 1 2010, followed by a re-release of I Am Not a Robot on April 26 2010. Diamandis said she decided to re-release the song because “people seem to empathize and relate with the song, regardless of gender or age.”

Oh No! was the next single to be released from The Family Jewels on August 2 2010, and Shampain follows on October 11 2010, to coincide with her biggest UK and Ireland tour to date.

    That thing about some ppl that have listened to the song already and that will affect its sales is so silly. Even if they have I don't get their irony. Who cares? Lily Allen posted "The Fear" at her Myspace almost a year before its official release, yet it became a monster hit when it came out. There.

    the thing is, last.fm is very far behind on marina news compared with other sites. some sites have talk of leaks going around months before anybody here seems to even make a squeak. Primadonna is something to be excited about nonetheless, stopbeingaundergroundobscureleakwhorenobodycares.

    It's funny because I am wondering WHERE they got that song from. My theory is that she keeps sending her demos to so-called friends and her so-called friends send them to their friends. And soon a dozen people have the song. If you have other opinions on that, let me take part of them, I am not very studied in that extent.

    I've seen a bunch of people bragging about having the new song. They used to enumerate all of the new songs, like Hellfire, Prima Donna, Net Curtains, and so on. I haven't listened to any of those songs. It's simply not worth the effort. Most of them are demos. And waiting would not kill me. But as she announced to release Prima Donna, I thought.. yeah right. What are you going to release next? Dirty Sheets? Scab & Plaster? I wonder how few she knows about her listeners. She's apart from us. She'd do better reading the things her fans are posting in this shoutbox. She might wonder how much we already know about her new songs. Just saying.

    So how is it Marina's fault? You shouldn't have listened in the first place if your pissed she is not throwing away her songs that leaked.

    Um. Prima Donna. Right. She still isn't able to keep her new songs at her home. I've heard of Prima Donna MONTHS ago. And some persons already have it. Genuine Congrats, Marina.

    I doubt it, there's no point waiting, something else will only pop up to prolong it even more.
