While I was listening to my first Lady Singer, Spotify suggested I would enjoy the musical stylings of the following lady. I gave her a chance and realized that this woman also speaks to me with her cool jams. Since it is my duty to share these types of things with my millions upon millions of fans, here you go.
Marina and the Diamonds

At 27 years cool, Marina Lambrini Diamandis aka Marina and the Diamonds, was born in Wales and started to gain some recognition in 2005 when she hit number 2 on the BBC Sound of 2010 poll. Guess who was number 1 on that poll…Ellie Goulding. Sound familiar?
Marina has released two studio albums so far: The Family Jewels and Electra Heart.
If you haven’t heard of Marina and the Diamonds, let me introduce the two of you with a few facts about our new friend Marina.
- “The Diamonds” part of her stage name does not refer to her band, but her fans
- Marina has a neurological condition called synaesthetic, which involves her seeing the days of the week and musical notes in different colors
- She loves businessmen…good choice
Here are a few of my favorite Marina and the Diamonds jams that I think you would enjoy as well:
“How to be a Heartbreaker”
I’ve been waiting 26 long years, but I’ve finally discovered the step-by-step rules on how to be a heartbreaker. Thanks Marina!
“Lies”
Any woman who has ever been scorned by a man will get this.
“Homewrecker”
She does what she wants.
As you can see, Marina and The Diamonds has a wide range of emotions in her songs. She follows the typical path most women travel in regards to finding a husband. First, she’s cruising to be a heartbreaker but accidentally falls for a man, then she’s sad because the dude lied to her and finally becomes so jaded that she turns into a homewrecker. Yep, sounds about right.
