Marina and the Diamonds streams 'Electra Heart' - listen
Published Apr 28 2012, 14:19 BST | By Colin Daniels
Electra Heart, the singer's second studio album, features lead single 'Primadonna', which reached number 11 on the UK singles chart last Sunday (April 22).
Marina and the Diamonds - real name Marina Diamandis - recently confessed that her new album is inspired by Madonna and Marilyn Monroe.
"It's a bit cringe, but I wanted it to be a way of personifying love and heartbreak," she said. "The whole campaign is pink and fluffy, it's about love. I can never just make up a story, it has to be something that's happened in my life.
"[Madonna is] a fearless person, she's been knocked down so many times. For someone to keep going, it shows that they don't want to just have fame and success, they want to be a successful artist."
She embarks on her UK tour on May 4, playing eight dates across the UK.

Ah it'l be fine anyone who was gonna download it still could have done so after the release date. Leaks generally don't harm sales

I think she has done this ahead of release due to someone leaking the whole thing :/ shame on them. This had better at least be in the top ten, so deserving of number one.
