Influences: Blondie, Patti Smith, Tom Waits, Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Kate Bush, Britney Spears, Gabriella Cilmi, Dolly Parton, MadonnaMarina Lambrini Diamandis (born 10 October, 1985), also known by her former stage name Marina & the Diamonds (yes, it's just one person) as well as MARINA, is a Welsh singer-songwriter. Signed to 679 Recordings, she released her debut album, The Family Jewels in Febuary 2010. Her musical style ranges from keyboard-based ballads to more up-tempo New Wave-style songs with full band backing.Her former stage name, "Marina & the Diamonds", consists of Marina's first name and the translation of her surname, which means "Diamonds" in Greek. Although "The Diamonds" was often mistakenly believed to refer to her backing band, when it in fact referred to Marina's fans; she explained this on her MySpace page by saying, "I'm Marina. You are the diamonds." Prior to the release of her 2019 double album Love + Fear, however, she changed her stage name in all her social media to MARINA.Her second album, the highly cinematic self-dubbed "pop opera" Electra Heart (2012), has its own page. Tropes specific to the album belong there.Discography: Mermaid VS Sailor (2007) (EP) The Family Jewels (2010) Electra Heart (2012) Froot (2015) Love + Fear (2019, double album, the first released as MARINA) Love + Fear (Acoustic) (2019; contains acoustic versions of five songs that originally appeared on Love + Fear) "About Love" (2020; single from the soundtrack of To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You) Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land (2021) | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Marina Diamandis (Music) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The Family Jewels had some somber lyrics, but generally wasn't that dark, and even a little silly at times. Electra Heart is much darker and more ironic, touching on themes of heartbreak, denial, loneliness, and despair. Froot, by contrast, is more just Hotter and Sexier. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Marina Diamandis (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: The Family Jewels was a 80's throwback. For Electra Heart, Marina took it down-tempo and into more mainstream dance and synth-pop with minor dubstep influences. Froot saw Marina bring the 80's new-wave and piano ballads back. Love + Fear pivoted back to a sound reflecting the late 10's, with her partner at the time (Clean Bandit's Jack Patterson) involved with writing and producing the album. | |

Three Minutes of Writhing: A number of Marina's other videos invoke but then subvert the trope by featuring mostly Marina singing and dancing — in strange costumes and wigs and odd locations, with at least hints of dark or tragic plotlines. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Marina Diamandis (Music) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Marina seems fond of these: The U.S. edition of The Family Jewels ends with "Numb", a heartbreaking song about the true cost of fame. The Electra Heart era ended with the titular persona's death. Froot goes through many stages of a breakup, but ends with "Immortal", which is emotionally crushing. "Soft to Be Strong" averts this in Love + Fear. Despite being the final song in the Fear section the theme is about allowing yourself to be vulnerable in order for love to prevail. | |

Eagleland: "Hollywood" is a satire of the American Dream. As Marina puts it, "I'm obsessed with the mess that is America!" The music video has a lot of typical American imagery, and the song refers to the Eagleland Osmosis effect: Commentary on the theme is also the crux of her "Electra Heart" persona, and is also noticeable on a few songs from Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land. | |

BreakUpSong | |
| Marina Diamandis (Music) / int_7bef792a | comment |
Break Up Song: Froot and Ancient Dreams in A Modern Land possess a number of such song including "Blue", "I'm A Ruin", "I Love You But I Love Me More" and "Flowers". "Goodbye" plays with the trope in that she is breaking up with her past self, thanking her for the time they've spent together but that she needs to evolve and move on. | |

Weeding Out Imperfections | |
| Marina Diamandis (Music) / int_8709ea16 | comment |
Weeding Out Imperfections: The song "Weeds" likens her current relationship to a flower garden, and the baggage from her ex-boyfriend as weeds: no matter how much she tries to focus on removing him from her life ("cut [him] out at the root”), she keeps thinking of him, like how weeds tend to grow back. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Marina Diamandis (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Gold" mentions El Dorado and Midas Touch. It may be unintentional, or just a pervasive image, but "Immortal" appears to borrow a motif from Robert Frost's "Fire and Ice". Frost's poem opens "Some say the world will end in fire/Some say in ice"; the song has the lines "But if the earth ends in fire/And the seas are frozen in time" — and both are reflections on human emotions in the face of mortality. "Purge the Poison" makes three such shouts to Britney Spears, Harvey Weinstein and the Me Too movement in the second verse alone. | |

Lighter and Softer: Froot is noticeably more cheerful than Electra Heart, but a key song to note is Handmade Heaven, the first single from Love + Fear, in which Marina enjoys the comfort and security of herself and the refuge she's able to take in herself when the outside world is fearsome and confusing. The Love half of Love + Fear contains some genuinely happy songs, such as Orange Trees, Superstar, and Enjoy Your Life. | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| Marina Diamandis (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: "Oh No!" sounds like a happy New Wave song, but is lyrically about Marina becoming the very person she loathes to be — a Stepford Smiler pop star. "Blue," a happy, funky-sounding song with lyrics surrounding a harsh breakup and regrets over ending the relationship. On the other hand, "Happy", the opener track on "Froot", is a slow piano ballad written in a minor key, and is easily one of the happiest songs Marina has ever recorded. | |
