No Buy the Stars on the US Electra Heart? That's a crime, as is leaving off Lonely Hearts Club. Two of the best songs right there. Not hugely fond of How to be a Heartbreaker, I like it's simplicity, but it's a bit boring. Getting that instead of Buy the Stars is a big no.
I generally like her lyrics and style more on TFJ. Songs like Numb, Are you Satisfied?, Guilty, Mowgli's Road and I am not a Robot are really quirky, clever, sometimes funny, but so easy to relate to. The album is quirky pop music gold. It's also pretty much the only album both my boyfriend and I love, so it's got that too haha. Our music tastes are so far apart. And, I finally cracked, I'm seeing her live in London in October, I cannot wait! I'm tempted to go wearing a cheerleader uniform, it would be waaay to hot though.

I was so excited to see her album on iTunes this morning! I bought it right away! I really like How to be a Heartbreaker
 .EDIT: Primadonna (Burns Remix) =  It barely even has Marina in it  ...It sounds almost COMPLETELY unaffiliated with the original song.

Double post, but I went to see her tonight in London, and it was amazing. She's really great live, and her vocals are super in a live setting. It was at the HMV Forum in Kentish Town, so a smallish two tier typical old theatre venue you get in London. It was the perfect size. I danced SO MUCH, the upbeat songs like Primadonna and Bubblegum ***** were pretty much huge karaoke sessions, she loved it and wanted us to sing louder, AMAZING atmosphere. She has great stage presence.
Really good setlist too, a good mix of the two albums. I think my favourites were Radioactive (the audience went crazy!), Teen Idle (just Marina with a keyboard, beautiful performance) and pretty much all the TFJ songs. I love Oh No! a lot too, it was my first Marina song, so I went crazy. I think I danced enough for everyone in that hall. I was gutted she didn't do Numb, but I didn't expect a lot of TFJ songs so it was ok. I was hoping for Buy the Stars in the encore, but we didn't get that either. Only complaints though. The set was really cute, dated wallpaper with neon signs and a little living room set up. Oh, and both her parents attended! We all sang happy birthday to her dad, and Marina bought her mum on stage at the end.  The setlist was something like this Spoiler:
It was generally an amazing evening, she's AMAZING live. GO SEE HER. I don't like most of Electra Heart but they're a million times better with the live arrangements and how the live venue works with her vocals. She said it was the best live show she's ever performed (the atmosphere was really great!), she looked really moved when we sung the "I lalalalala love you!" part of HTBH back and forth at the end. :') As I side note, totally wanted to kick the people who sung when she did the 'piano' versions of Obsessions and Teen Idle. They are not the karaoke songs. ok I'm gonna stop stanning and go sleep

New song, E.v.o.L, free download until midnight (not sure what time zone? GMT?), for Valentine's Day.
smarturl.it/e.v.o.l It's also partly on Youtube and she posted a streaming link on Twitter. I've not had a proper listen yet but it sounds so much closer to the TFJ but with Electra-esque lyrics. I like.

didn't know there was a thread for her...
I got to see her in Houston last October! Wish I knew the playlist for her, since she did a half hour show.

the gig sounded awesome Relmy
 HTBAH is okay, its catchy but not one of my faves. I absolutely LOVE E.V.O.L though (ba dum tsch). To me it sounds like a halfway point between TFJ and EH. I wonder what she'll do after she wraps up Electra Heart and touring?

Quote:
She said in an interview that everything done under Electra Heart will get released somehow as she can't use it afterwards. I think her music will go in the direction of E.V.O.L, quirky with the refinement of Electra Heart. I hope her lyrics keep the irony of Electra Heart, but eh, EH's lyrics lacked a charm that was in TFJ. ...I kind of love HTBAH, I think it's because I associate it with seeing her live, and it was a thousand times better live. I liked EH a lot more after hearing the songs live, actually. /sounds like a proper stan right now

Another new song, duet with Charli XCX -"Just Desserts".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cohU-_F6hZA I don't really like it, it sounds like they've done loads of work to tone done Marina to fit with the other girl? It also sounds unfinished heh.
