Marina And The Diamonds, Radioactive
The little lady with the big voice the is Marina And The Diamonds is returning after a long summer of touring and festivals with new single, Radioactive set for release on October 3rd.
It has been some time since we had a release to write about from Marina and The Diamonds so Radioactive, coming out through 679 Recordings is news for sore ears.
An second album is also scheduled in for early 2012, its about time after the singer has left us to cope alone, choosing to tour the US with Katy Perry.
Radioactive, said to be an end of summer scorcher (someone hasn’t realised our summer has disolved into wetness) has been produced by Stargate (Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy Perry) giving it a much more dancy sound we are told.
Marina says :
“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).
