    That's when I fell
    in love with her.
  • 1:42 - 1:45
    I didn't start off
    with her first album.
  • 1:45 - 1:48
    - She's so underrated, so I was
    not expecting to be reacting to her.
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    I used to write, "React
    to Marina and the Diamonds"
  • 1:50 - 1:52
    before I was on the show,
  • 1:52 - 1:54

    - She kind of has the sound
  • 2:52 - 2:56
    in between super mainstream
    and super indie,

    and it works so well for her.

    - This song is so true,
  • 3:43 - 3:45
    'cause it's how-- you know,
    she's not from the US.
  • 3:45 - 3:50
    So people perceive America
    in like the movie scene.
  • 3:50 - 3:56
    - ♪ American dream
    is the American queen ♪
  • 3:56 - 3:59
    - I love her music video.
    I feel like they're all so creative.
  • 3:59 - 4:01
    - She's talking about
    living the American dream
  • 4:01 - 4:03
    and being a beauty queen,
    about how they want you
  • 4:03 - 4:05
    to all be the same.
    You look like this,
  • 4:05 - 4:06
    you look like that.
    She's like, "No, I'm me."
  • 4:06 - 4:09
    - She doesn't write something
    just for writing it.
  • 4:09 - 4:12
    Everything she writes has a meaning.
    That's why I like her lyrics.
  • 4:12 - 4:14
    She makes it with
    a beat and everything,
  • 4:14 - 4:19
    but her lyrics are very poetic.
    - Any song, I will sing to it.
  • 4:19 - 4:21
    I don't know if you guys are gonna
    play "How to Be a Heartbreaker,"
  • 4:21 - 4:23

    I was driving and I almost crashed,
    because it was that good.
  • 4:34 - 4:37
    - ♪ But baby when you're done... ♪
    - Her little heart on her cheek
  • 4:37 - 4:40
    is so iconic. I used to do that
    all throughout high school.

    - I used to walk around with
    that heart on my face just for fun.

    - ♪ So le-le-let me tell you ♪
  • 4:46 - 4:50
    - (singing along) ♪ This is how
    to be a heartbreaker ♪
  • 4:50 - 4:53
    - This music video was
    a little controversial, I remember,
  • 4:53 - 4:57
    because it was the kind of
    reverse sexism type of thing
  • 4:57 - 5:00
    where people were upset
    that there were men behind her.
  • 5:03 - 5:08
    - She also has a very different look
    per song, like this song compared
  • 5:08 - 5:12
    to some other ones, I wouldn't
    even know it's the same person.
  • 5:12 - 5:15
    - ♪ We don't want
    our hearts to break ♪
  • 5:15 - 5:19
    - See, it's a fun pop song,
    but it has feeling and emotion to it
  • 5:19 - 5:21
    and she's talking
    about a real thing.
  • 5:21 - 5:26
    - ♪ ...risk losing ♪
    ♪ In love again, ba-abe ♪
  • 5:26 - 5:28
    - I like it. I like her stuff a lot.
  • 5:28 - 5:31
    - She's so good!
    Ah! I'm just like... (laughs)
  • 5:31 - 5:34
    overflowing with so
    many emotions right now .

    - She sounds just as good toned down
  • 5:58 - 6:00
    as it did with electropop,
    which is good.

    - (singing along) ♪ I

    She's a phenomenal singer.
  • 6:16 - 6:19
    - ♪ ...can't let you go,
    oh, oh, oh ♪
  • 6:19 - 6:23
    - My heart. She just sings
    with so much passion. I love it.
  • 6:23 - 6:27
    - I honestly can't think of anybody
    with a voice like hers.
  • 6:27 - 6:29
    I feel like--
    I've always described it
  • 6:29 - 6:33
    as, like, she has these chocolatey,
    deeper tones in her voice
  • 6:33 - 6:36
    that are really unique.
    - She's so pure.
  • 6:36 - 6:38
    She's one of those artists
    where it's, like,
  • 6:38 - 6:41
    you listen to her stuff,
    and you don't get sick of it.
  • 6:41 - 6:43
    You only appreciate it
    more and more.
  • 6:43 - 6:46
    - I love Marina. She's my queen.
    Girl, I hope you're watching this.
  • 6:46 - 6:49
    I really do, because
    if you do, I'm gonna cry.
  • 6:49 - 6:51
    - (FBE) So all those videos
    come from Marina and the Diamonds.
  • 6:51 - 6:55
    - Yeah. I love her so much.
    - (FBE) Marina and the Diamonds
  • 6:55 - 6:56
    has been one of the
    most requested artists
  • 6:57 - 6:59
    for us to cover on this channel.
    - Yeah, I've seen.
  • 6:59 - 7:01
    (laughs) I've seen
    some of the comments.
  • 7:01 - 7:03
    - I kind of contributed
    to that too in the comments.
  • 7:03 - 7:05
    - (FBE) After seeing her today,
    why do you think that is?
  • 7:05 - 7:08
    - Yeah. I mean, she's got
    such a unique voice,
  • 7:08 - 7:12
    and she has enough of the
    common beats and stuff
  • 7:12 - 7:14
    that hits top 40, but she adds
    her own little spin to it.
  • 7:14 - 7:18
    - She's so underrated, so the people
    that know about her just love her.
  • 7:18 - 7:20
    - She has a lot
    of different variety.
  • 7:20 - 7:25
    She doesn't always have to be
    poppy, fun. She goes-- slows down.
  • 7:25 - 7:28
    - Her voice doesn't really
    quite match the music,
  • 7:28 - 7:30
    so it's a nice
    juxtaposition I think.
  • 7:30 - 7:31
    It's different.
  • 7:31 - 7:33
    - She reaches so many
    different audiences.
  • 7:33 - 7:36
    Going to her concerts for years,
    I mean, I've always seen
  • 7:36 - 7:39
    just a wide demographic of people.
  • 7:39 - 7:42
    She just speaks to a lot
    of different groups of people.
  • 7:42 - 7:45
    - (FBE) So many claim that
    one of the most interesting aspects
  • 7:45 - 7:47
    of her music has been
    how bluntly and honestly
  • 7:47 - 7:48
    she has opened up
    about mental health,
  • 7:48 - 7:51
    the dark side of relationships,
    and self-acceptance.
  • 7:51 - 7:55
    - Oh, for sure. Yeah. I think that's
    what's so relatable about her.
  • 7:55 - 7:58
    - When you do that,
    it makes your music
  • 7:58 - 8:00
    so much more relatable
    to your fans and audience.
  • 8:00 - 8:02
    - (FBE) Marina herself
    has expressed that she suffers
  • 8:02 - 8:05
    from anxiety and depression.
    Do you feel it's important
  • 8:05 - 8:07
    for artists to open up
    in this way in music?
  • 8:07 - 8:09
    - Yeah. What is art
    if you can't cover that?
  • 8:09 - 8:11
    Art is supposed to
    be expressive and open.
  • 8:11 - 8:13
    No one wants to talk about it,
  • 8:13 - 8:14
    so that's what brings
    people towards it,
  • 8:14 - 8:16
    'cause they're like, "Oh,
    yeah she has it too."
  • 8:16 - 8:19
    And that's how we cope.
    We need each other.
  • 8:19 - 8:22
    - If you open up and let us
    into a part of your world,
  • 8:22 - 8:25
    it's, like, okay, I feel
    like this is more tailored
  • 8:25 - 8:30
    not to just put on the radio,
    but to connect with me.
  • 8:30 - 8:33
    - You have music
    like the one that she writes,
  • 8:33 - 8:36
    that kind of music is the one
    that really gets deep into you.
  • 8:36 - 8:38
    Her song "Happy,"
    I cried with that song,
  • 8:38 - 8:40
    because that song is, like...
  • 8:40 - 8:44
    I feel like she
    wrote it from my diary.
  • 8:44 - 8:47
    - We look up to celebrities so much,
    it's almost a God-like status.
  • 8:47 - 8:50
    And so, to see them talk
    about issues that you go through
  • 8:50 - 8:52
    kind of validates
    how you feel a little bit,
  • 8:52 - 8:54
    especially when you're
    a 12-year-old kid
  • 8:54 - 8:55
    in the middle of nowhere, thinking,
  • 8:55 - 8:58
    "Oh, wow. This big, famous star
    is just like me."
  • 8:58 - 9:01
    - (FBE) And finally, in June 2016,
    Marina expressed that she will be
  • 9:01 - 9:04
    taking a break from her music
    for a while, because she feels
  • 9:04 - 9:06
    it will be helpful
    for her creatively,
  • 9:06 - 9:07
    with many thinking it's
    to distance herself
  • 9:07 - 9:10
    from her creative persona from
    her second album, "Electra Heart."
  • 9:10 - 9:14
    - Oh yeah. Electra Heart
    was a character that she created,
  • 9:14 - 9:17
    and I think I can understand
    why she needs that break.
  • 9:17 - 9:20
    - Her Electra Heart album
    was very reminiscent
  • 9:20 - 9:25
    of a Hannah Montana type of persona.
    When you're doing that for so long,
  • 9:25 - 9:28
    and you kind of become
    this other person,
  • 9:28 - 9:30
    and you take over
    this other personality,
  • 9:30 - 9:33
    I'm sure it becomes draining.
    - Taking a break is definitely good.
  • 9:33 - 9:37
    I mean, the saying goes, "Distance
    makes the heart grow fonder."
  • 9:37 - 9:39
    When it becomes oversaturated,
    you kind of don't get
  • 9:39 - 9:40
    the same pleasure
    of what you're putting out.
  • 9:40 - 9:43
    - (FBE) So aside from "Disconnect,"
    which is a single that was
  • 9:43 - 9:45
    recently released in
    collaboration with Clean Bandit,
  • 9:45 - 9:48
    Marina and the Diamonds
    has not put out any new solo work.
  • 9:48 - 9:50
    When she does release a new album,
    do you think her music style
  • 9:50 - 9:52
    will stay the same,
    or will we be introduced
  • 9:52 - 9:54
    to an entirely new
    Marina and the Diamonds?
  • 9:55 - 9:58
    - I mean, I honestly don't know
    what she has planned.
  • 9:58 - 10:00
    I think whatever she does,
    it's gonna be great,
  • 10:00 - 10:02
    because she is talented,
    and I trust in her
  • 10:02 - 10:04
    that whatever she makes
    is gonna be great.
  • 10:04 - 10:06
    - Probably will evolve.
    Most artist evolve.
  • 10:06 - 10:08
    - I wouldn't mind
    if she experimented.
  • 10:08 - 10:10
    Obviously, she needs
    to try out new things.
  • 10:10 - 10:12
    - I don't expect
    anything bad from this.
  • 10:12 - 10:15
    I'm just waiting for her
    to skyrocket, and I'm like,
  • 10:15 - 10:17
    "Yeah, I was there when
    she started, so you know."
  • 10:17 - 10:20
    - Have seen that in,
    you know, all of her albums
  • 10:20 - 10:21
    and all of her solo music,
  • 10:21 - 10:25
    there still is
    some level of consistency,
  • 10:25 - 10:28
    so I feel like she
    won't stray too far.
  • 10:28 - 10:31
    - When Electra Heart came out,
    that was something very different
  • 10:31 - 10:33
    from the first album.
    And then, when Froot came out,
  • 10:33 - 10:35
    That was way different
    from Electra Heart.
  • 10:35 - 10:37
    So I think when she comes out
    with something new,
  • 10:37 - 10:39
    it's a whole new project.
    It's a whole new sound,
  • 10:39 - 10:42
    and it's something fresh for her.
    - I think she's gonna try
  • 10:42 - 10:46
    to reach for something else.
    I think she's gonna try
  • 10:46 - 10:48
    and do some-- maybe
    she tries more acoustic things,
  • 10:48 - 10:50
    maybe she's gonna try
    to do some more...
  • 10:51 - 10:54
    not grown up, but a little bit
