Pop is cooler than it has ever been. No revelations there. Marina (And The Diamonds) is living, breathing, belting, vogue-ing proof of the unfathomable possibilities contained within organic pop in 2010. Somewhat ironic perhaps though that the jewel in this new crown of credibility gut-laughs in the face of any notion of 'cool'. "I really couldn't give a damn whether pop's in fashion this week or not; I'd be writing the same music, regardless," Marina scoffs. She's the complete songwriter/performer. 50% Greek, 50% Welsh, 100% frolicking fairytale creature. A girl with virtually no musical schooling, for whom heart scorching choruses miraculously seem to appear at the tips of her fingers with each preposterous limb fling. A voice that both lures sailors to shores and wards ships from rocks. A mind that hacks apart the fabric of Now and serves it up in an ice-cream sundae for all to guzzle down. A performer whose onstage movement has been reminding lackluster gig-goers across the land the true meaning of 'show time'.
