Electra Heart (Platinum Blonde Edition)

Product Information

One of the key things about the whole Electra Heart project is the visuals and artwork, and there is a clear theme developed throughout all the imagery, a theme of faded glamour and stylised grandeur with Marina prominent throughout. It is her direction and influence that runs through all the imagery, she says: " I just took a lot of care with the visual side of things. I know what I want this time and I have a very specific idea of who I am as an artist and what I want to portray myself as. ❞ B1, B4: Warner Chappell Music Ltd.

Jealousy was initially for The Family Jewels, and then for die Life, her initial second album, which caused confusion when she told fans it would be on her second album.

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. In December 2012, Marina revealed she was working on a fan film titled "HEARTCORE" (sometimes stylised as "HEARTC♡RE"), which would document her tour across the USA. [45] A few months later, in March 2013, she shared a preview, [46] however, the documentary never came to fruition.

The new direction resonated in Europe as well as the U.S., where the album produced two platinum-certified singles – "Primadonna" and "How To Be A Heartbreaker" – and two gold-certified singles – "Teen Idle" and "Bubblegum Bitch." The latter – which was never officially released as a single – became an unexpected hit in 2021 thanks to the song’s popularity on TikTok, with over 3M unique videos created. https://www.reddit.com/r/MarinaAndTheDiamonds/comments/ubnggw/someone_from_a_facebook_group_passed_me_this_photo/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn5wTy9mLro https://web.archive.org/web/20121020100947/http://popcounterculture.ca/index.php/marina-and-the-diamonds/

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. https://www.discogs.com/release/24401912-Marina-And-The-Diamonds-Electra-Heart-Platinum-Blonde-Edition In October 2011, Marina said: "I will have a lot of songs on this album that probably won't go on it, I have too many now, so I'll be giving stuff away [to other artists]." [23] Later telling Planet Notion in 2012, she "ended up with" "about 22" songs. [24]

Marina came up with the name in November 2010, with the intention of using it for online handles, [16] on the 15th she tweeted "Electric Heart", [17] possibly the exact date she thought of the name. Starring Role was the first song to be written specifically for Electra Heart, instead of die Life, and signalled the direction Marina was going for sonically, with its "cold and emotive" production.
