To tide us over until her much awaited second album is completed, Marina and the Diamonds is to release a one-off single "Radioactive" on October 3rd through 679 Artists.
The 25 year old Greek/Welsh singer/songwriter has had a busy 2011 so far, working hard on her follow up to The Family Jewels and touring the USA with Katy Perry.
Marina teamed up with superstar pop-producing duo Stargate (Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy Perry) for "Radioactive". She comments: 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".
