Marina probably had about 25-30 songs fro Electra Heart, and she said she wanted them all released or out for everyone to hear.

She recorded 22 songs. I remember that number from somewhere about the album. We have the deluxe version of the album, + "How to Be a Heartbreaker" to get 17, + this to get 18, + the title track "Electra Heart" for 19. There's also "E.V.O.L." to get 20, and I'm pretty sure "Miss Y" was recorded from the album. That puts us at 20-21. There's 1-2 tracks we don't know much about.

This slays so hard

I'm only a little bit mad @ the laziness of it tbh
The track as a whole is FLAWLESS & they both sound great together
But I don't understand why they used the same exact vocals Marina recorded almost over two years ago,
and still had her record new vocals to back up Charli with in the verses?
If she had to record new vocals anyway, why not re-record the rest of the song as well?
The old vocals give me too much of a demo-y vibe and it kinda ruins it a bit :\

I hope she still plays Electra Heart on this tour, and her and Charli play this song together. Something tells me they won't though.

Can you explain yourself plz bc I personally feel that Charli sounds better than Marina on it
(and I'm not just being biased because I love them both equally)
[but I'm sure Marina would have sounded better if the vocals were re-recorded]

♡ JUST DESSERTS ♡
Marina and The Diamonds & Charli XCX

Oh heartbreak's hard when you don't have a plastic heart
You sent me in through the cinnamon stars
Cause you tasted so bitter but the bitter was sweet
I'm a lovelorn princess and i'm yours to eat
I gave you too much,
Gave you too much to touch
Just the hardcore iron through the velvet glove
You were a lullaby and you had me blind
And now I laugh cause you're the one whose being left behind
I see you cry

Now that the shoe's on the other foot

Now that the shoe's on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Wakin' everybody in the neighborhood
Tellin' everybody that I'm no good
Karma came around like I knew it would,
Like I knew it would
And it feels so good when the shoe is put...
On the other foot

Yeah baby, I know that it hurts
When you're about to get your just desserts

Oh heartbreak's hard,
Harder than glittering cars
Harder than living life fast
Harder than crashin' and burnin'
Hope that you'll learn your lesson
(I hope that you learn your lesson)

They always said I was a mess of a girl
Ever since you stepped your toes into my perfect world
You flipped me upside down but I see clear from here
That you're a mess of a boy, you'll cry these tears for years
Look in the mirror baby

Now that the shoe's on the other foot

Now that the shoe's on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Wakin' everybody in the neighborhood
Tellin' everybody that I'm no good
Karma came around like I knew it would,
Like I knew it would
And it feels so good when the shoe is put...
On the other foot

Yeah baby, I know that it hurts
When you're about to get your just desserts

I'm glad that you crashed and burned
Guys like you ain't never learn,
Never learn

Baby,
Revenge is sweet
When I am playing
You on repeat

Now that the shoe's on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Wakin' everybody in the neighborhood
Tellin' everybody that I'm no good
Karma came around like I knew it would,
Like I knew it would
And it feels so good when the shoe is put...
On the other foot

Now that the shoe's on the other foot...
Karma came back
Like you knew it would,
Like you knew it would

TRF.

YES. I'm LOVING it. Bringing me to The Family Jewels times back tbh.

Honestly, TRF.

Thomasuxx

Love it

She actually did rerecord the chorus. The last note, before the "Yeah baby, I know that it hurts" line is different than in the demo/snippet we've heard before.

Artemisia

Not good at all. The beginning part with Charli was slaying a bit, then it all went downhill from there.

I blame Marina. She needs to stop.

feuxtography

Ugh, Marina ruined this song. It should have just been recorded by Charli.

Cxsey

I love them both but meh.

Rico Shameless v2

This is pretty good.

Pelvic Thrust

The demo wasn't good to begin with so why is everyone blaming Marina/Charli?

Yeah tbh the production/mastering is just kind of mediocre, Charli and Marina are killing it. It's a pretty cool track, just not very extravagant production wise and a little demo-quality/grainy.

It was Marina's to begin with.
