Marina and the Diamonds reveal video for 'I'm A Ruin'Īnd more broadly, how many pop stars from the UK have really broken through internationally? In terms of groups, there’s One Direction and Little Mix, and the likes of Adele and Ed Sheeran have been flying the flag for solo artists, but when it comes to pure pop, who have we got that’s been able to rival the Katy Perrys and Lady Gagas of the world? Dua Lipa, and perhaps Charli XCX should be in that conversation, but nobody else has had that real global success in recent decades.

Electra Heart, then, was the project designed to crack America, and while it didn’t make Marina a global star in the same vein as Katy Perry or Lady Gaga, say, she has a dedicated international fanbase to this day, and straddles the pop and indie markets well, as the success of the current Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land tour shows. However, Marina described her career as “more like a failure than a success” in January 2011, particularly when considering her popularity in the US, where The Family Jewels peaked at 138 in the charts. The Family Jewels was well-received a UK top-five album and second place on the BBC Sound of 2010 list is a pretty good start to your career by anyone’s standards. Her fierce lyricism and unapologetic persona was really exciting to me”, says Mia, 24. I was really into ‘cool’ female pop musicians like Lily Allen and Santigold – when Marina came along, she fit that category perfectly. At the time, that sort of quirky indie-pop was big in the charts, with plenty of overlap between fanbases: “I’m super proud to say I was a fan since the really early days in 2010. She released The Family Jewels at the age of 24, and its new-wave infused synthpop was a hit. A departure from the new-wave inspired sounds of Marina’s 2010 debut The Family Jewels, Electra Heart is pure electro-pop, and as Marina fan Ollie, 25, puts it, it’s “fundamentally one of the best pop records of our generation.”įrom the outset, there was something unique about Marina. You’d be hard-pressed to find an artist with such a consistently strong output, and the impact of Electra Heart - her real ‘pop’ album - cannot be overstated. Among seminal releases from Frank Ocean, Taylor Swift and Tame Impala (not to mention the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the Olympics in London and Barack Obama’s re-election), there came Electra Heart.Īs difficult as it might be to believe, Marina’s second album celebrates its tenth birthday on Wednesday (27 April 2022).
