_Marina and the Diamonds – “Fear and Loathing”

It’s been a while since we’ve heard of new music from Marina and the Diamonds, who just released her debut album early last year. Since then she’s been on tour with Katy Perry and recording her sophomore album, which will be titled Electra Heart.

On Monday, Marina uploaded a brand new video to a song titled “Fear and Loathing”. Instead of her usual upbeat tracks, “Fear and Loathing” is a raw, powerful track that exposes a side of her we haven’t seen, a vulnerable nakedness. She undergoes a makeover, cutting her hair into a medium-length bob and leaving the pieces of it on her shoulders. All I want to do is brush it off. Maybe she will in part 2 of the song, which comes out next Monday.

_Marina And The Diamonds – Hollywood (Video)

Marina (and the diamonds) have released another single from her debut album out in February, which is still missing a tracklist. Marina has been in the states for past couple weeks, according to her personal blog. What other perfect timing to released the video for “Hollywood“, which is full of the American colors, stars, popcorn, burgers, and the dream life.

Directed by Kinga Buzza who has previously directed Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl”, the two videos are very much alike: there’s a big party and there’s cake. They even both look a bit alike as well, including the makeup and the hair.

My favorite line from the song is: “Oh my Gawd, you look like just like Shakira, no no you’re Catherine Zeta. Actually my name’s Marina”

And doesn’t this look like it should be a Vogue photoshoot spread? Although I bet it’s been done a million times already.

Mille is a new and upcoming producer, who has now officially remixed Marina & The Diamonds‘ “Mowgli’s Road”. The ecstatic electronic beats in this are killer, and Marina herself even said that this is her favorite remix of the track.

Earlier, we showed you the video to “Mowgli’s Road”.
