can't wait to get to know what 11 diamonds is.
and seems like 8.8.13 will be the death of electra heart...at least that is the rumor

edit: the shirt I made

[relmy]

^ She did say the last part would come in August back in May or June. Also, I love the shirt! How did you make the print?

As for Lies, it just makes me angry that the label have pretty much ditched her. Primadonna did well, but they just seemed to stop trying. I hope they actually give her the budget to make another album, especially as they don't seem to be paying out for videos. I'm being a bit hyperbolic, but State of Dreaming was just as low budget. Hopefully there's a surprise in store with the final parts.

^it is no print, i drew it by hand XD

well, Lies is no single and so weren't most of the parts. I think she just wants to do this project her way...the label was is all ablout "album+singles" and she does her artistic stuff on a sidenote...wish I kinda like about it

[George]

^ That shirt is really really gorgeous.

I've been reading that the label basically cut her budget... and quite substantial at that. Otherwise, I don't think she would have went on with these videos. If I remember correctly she planned on having 15 parts but not it's down to 11 or 12. I guess when the singles didn't do as well as her label hoped, they slashed her budget. And I think she's recording the third album now or at least writing songs for it? She could be massive in the U.S. if her label promotes her properly.

Have you all heard the Electra Heart song? Here's the link if you haven't: http://****yeahelectraheart.tumblr.c...portland-or-im

WOW!! Congrats, that's so impressive!

I hate to hear artists like Marina have budgets problems. If Primadonna Girl proved them she just needs promotion, then I don't see why they don't give it to her. It's against their interests, too. Especially if they give too much money to other singers, just because they're already famous, which isn't necessarily bad, but then they come up with a stupid crappy video and you're kinda saying "Where the hell did the buget go??"
Videogames by Lana proves that for a good video most of all you need good ideas, not a lot of money.

That's amazing!!

She mentioned once that the most she's been given is for HTBAH? Or that she knew it was the last time she'd get a real budget? Something along those lines. It's good that's she's persevering with finishing the Electra Heart story though, you can tell she doesn't want to not deliver on something she wants to do, and knows people want to see.

[George]

You can really tell that she's decided not only to her fans but also her craft.

An interesting interview. Here's the link if you haven't seen in yet: http://vimeo.com/66033551

PART 11: ♡ "ELECTRA HEART" ♡

amazing and flawless <3
I love this song!

[Gustavopc]

Such an amazing work Marina did with this album... I just gave it a heard some weeks ago, I always saw gifs of hers on tumblr but never bothered checking anything and now I regret it so hard. Wish I had followed everything from the begining. But still I'm amazed. Congrats, Marina, and R.I.P. Electra Heart

Spoiler:

I mean, R.I.P. unless you're coming back from your grave on PART 12: ♡ "LIVING DEAD" ♡

Finally got around to watching the interview, thanks for the link.

And, Marina, that label debt was the worst kept secret lol

I think it's telling that she said write in the UK and record in Scandinavia, especially as that seems to be THE place for music right now. Lots of great pop but also loads of indie stuff too. It could be anything. And what she said about the process of Electra Heart etc... was super interesting, it definitely seems like she's glad for the opportunity but regrets it a little.


As for the new stuff~ I liked the video, it was a good end to the era, and probably as much as she could do

Didn't like the song at all though, probably the first song by her that I've just outright disliked. I think it would be good as a 1:30min opening or a concert pump up track though.

I wonder where she'll go next? I'm really excited.

[marty]

Sadly, I didn't like the song at all, and I didn't really enjoyed the video too. First time it happens with Marina to me.

[George]

I like the song, and thought it was somehow a good choice to end the era with it. I also believe Valley of the Dolls would've worked too.

"Back to zero, here we go again, again.
Racin’ down into oblivion.
Back to zero, here we go.
I can feel it comin’ to the end, the end."

I think it fits perfectly.

Ugh. I wish her label didn't cut her budget. I'll always wonder how and what she envisioned this whole Electra Heart era to be.

So... This thread hasn't been updated in almost a year. Nothing really happened music wise with her except this.

Back in May, Betatraxx officially released a studio version of Electra Heart. It sounds just like the original version except they added a beat. It definitely adds a nice little touch to make the song sound more cohesive and structured. They also released a (Classical Version) of the song which is just a 6 minute piano instrumental of it. It's pretty though. Lastly they released a remix of the song. You can get the songs on itunes, beatport, and amazon mp3.

I'm not sure how this release works, but I think "Electra Heart" is now officially Betatraxx's song?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electra_Heart_%28song%29

I find it pretty annoying that they aren't all released as an "Electra Heart (Single)". Each song is a separate purchase on the music sites, and not all versions are available on each site.
You'd think it would be something like:

01. Electra Heart
02. Electra Heart (Classical Version)
03. Electra Heart (Betatraxx Remix)

But I guess that was too simple and organized for them. (However that's how I have them on my computer, all labeled as if they were the same single).

[Irish_Ayu_Fan]

Hope her next album is a mixture of Electra Heart and The Family Jewels. Like everyone else, I thought Electra Heart was fantastic but I'd love to hear songs more like "Are you satisfied?", "oh no" and "The outsider"!

[relmy]

Posted a while ago, it does feel half Electra Heart and half TFJ. Starts very EH but definitely feels TFJ by the end.

Album is out next April and she shared an interview on Facebook

http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/feat...iamonds-froot/

Froot will be happier, basically.

[Delicious n Bold]

I'm here for a new marinara and the diamonds album!
Froot was so much fun lol

[Delicious n Bold]

Has anyone listened to all the promo tracks?
I mean the album leaked but im gonna wait.
