TRACK BY TRACK
'Bubblegum Bitch': Frenetic synth-pop bedlam from 1981 meets 1997. “It's late 90s Britney charm, turned inside out.”
'Primadonna': Smell the waft of poppers across the festival field as a throbbing, fuchsia cloud thunders over your head. “Channelling the archetype of The Star, asking for adoration.”
'Lies': A haunting, melancholic treatise on emotional disappointment. “You only ever touch me in the dark, only if we're drinking, can you see my spark” she sings, exquisitely. "Trying to tell yourself a lover is right for you when you know he is nothing but."
'Homewrecker': Spoken-word ice-queen theatrics befitting the Pet Shop Boys, featuring the line: “Girls and their cars and their gourmet vomit.” "It's about the power of an image: Looking sweet whilst secretly being a total bitch and getting away with it!"
'Starring Role': Ethereal, fragile rumination on living outside reality. “And you don't want to live in reality. That's why you're an artist. You're on the run.”
'The State Of Dreaming': 'Hounds Of Love'-era Kate Bush and a contemplation of the famous Marilyn Monroe quote: “I just want to be wonderful.” "Fantasy protects us"
'Power And Control': Cinematic, Teutonic, Depeche Mode/Killers-sized electro colossus, written and recorded at dawn on ferry to Finland. “About the tactics of power-games in love”
'Living Dead': Pummeling synth-pop paean to regret. “The feeling that you have not lived your life to the full.”
'Teen Idle': "Story of my suicidal cheerleader youth! This song was like my last hurrah of adolescence"
'Valley Of The Dolls': Brooding, elegant, gothic search through loss of identity. “About emptiness, a void that you can't fill with relationships.”
'Hypocrates': Breezy, beautiful, guitar-pop melodies, perhaps Gwen Stefani fronting Crowded House. “Saying 'let me be who I am'.”
'Fear And Loathing': Epic, Trent Reznor-esque, doom-pop reverie on multiple inner personalities. “About seeing the good in people, making a fresh start and cutting yourself free of old ideals”

over 30 plays already. I agree with the family jewels being better, but I can't blame her for wanting that hit. She was so pressed she didn't get bigger 
I hope this song smashes because she really wants that hit.
slay me Marina, slay me.
