I dont care if she has massive commercial success, as long as she sustains herself and keeps her name going and material coming...i would much rather her be a representative of British Music than a certain few out there right now :-/ |

Plus i love the music Marina listens too...Madonna, Kate Bush, Britney, Bowie to name a few massive faves there IM IN!!

I love it! Hopefully this will do better than Radioactive, she only performed Radioactive once on TV, so I understand why that didn't do too good. Hopefully this will get more promotion since it's now the first single from the album.

I love it!
It's sickly sweet, but with a bitter undertone! ![]() I think I finally get this Electra Heart character, I saw her in the video instead of Marina! Some fairly cool Imagery too.

Really like this! The video is really well done too - especially like the shot where she's sitting on the floor and the dog is barking at her, fantastic imagery used throughout! Hope she does well with this
and looking forward to the rest of the album now.

I've only heard the studio version twice and its rammed itself into my skull, I've been humming it all day. She looks so good in the video, I really hope that she does start to get the recognition she deserves merely for her own sanity (although insane Marina is somewhat brilliant).
If this could tap into the Katy Perry market it could be huge for her, and imo its far better than anything Miss Perry has ever put out! |

The video could be better, it definitely didn't have a big budget although she does look hot. The song is really good though, but then so was Radioactive and that didn't do so well (except in my gym that seems to play it all the time
)

Love her voice and much of her debut album, this track is catchy but very generic sounding.

Heard it last night on Youtube, absolutely love it. The first album was amazing, and it's a crime she's not better known.
Favourite Marina song would either be Are You Satisfied? or Blindfold Me. Or Seventeen. Too many to choose from. I'm very excited about this new album, especially the concept. I was doubtful at first, but now think it's going to be ace after this song. The video is brilliant too. One thing I think might happen though, is that as a concept album, it might suffer the same fate critically that Aimee Mann's AMAZING The Forgotten Arm did, with critics generally praising it but saying there were no obvious standout tracks. I disagree on that, there are plenty, but I'm not sure if casual listeners will truly *get* what Marina is trying to do. Radioactive was good, but in my opinion, Primadonna has a lot more to say. The music might be a tad generic, but it's Marina's voice and lyrics that make it a knockout. |

)As for the song itself, I guess you could argue it's Dr.Luke generic but to me it's still very Marina, just like Radioactive was. Part 5 is coming soon to! |
