Marina And The Diamonds singer Marina Diamandis has said she's frustrated that she isn't as successful as she wants to be - describing her 2010 as "a failure".
Speaking to Australian radio station Undercover FM, Diamandis also said she was unhappy with how she had been promoted by her American record label.
"I feel more like a failure than a success," she said. "I haven’t done anything I want to do. For someone who wants to be one of the best artists of her generation, I've done **** all."
The singer, who has always been outspoken about her ambitions, responded to a question about whether she was happy about her success in 2010 by saying: "No, I'm pissed off I'm not bigger."
She was specifically negative about her lack of success in the USA, blaming her American record label Chop Shop for not promoting her properly. "It’s [her American fanbase] been built purely on me and my online presence," she said. "The label haven't really promoted me at all."
“Style” is this generation’s most flawless pop star at the height of her powers and figuring out how to use them in moderation. Maybe it won’t net her a third straight No. 1 single; already, “Style” has proved enough of a slow-burner to cost Swift her chance at becoming the first act in history to self-replace in the winner’s circle of the Hot 100 two consecutive times. But “State of Grace,” never released as an official single, was the No. 13 song on the Hot 100 in 2013, mostly on the strength of sales of Red — and then fell entirely out of the chart. Sometimes the best pop music isn’t actually all that popular.
Lana Del Rey did an interviewed with Hew Stephens today (25) for BBC’s Radio 1, we did an summary of the most interesting things that were said during the interview, read it below:
‘Ride’ music video will be 10 minutes long!
Lana is a vegetarian! She likes Marina and the Diamonds ‘Teen Idle’, The Eagles ‘Hotel California’ and Bruce Springsteen ‘I’m On Fire’.
She likes to play Yayo on guittar
Coven was definitely one of the worst shows to ever be on TV
It truly was. I instantly slammed the 'OFF' button on my remote every episode after I saw Fiona/Madison give a 'bitchy!' one-liner and light a cigarette.
I feel like the name Marina automatically associated with lard. I've met two girls named Marina in my life and both were morbidly obese. & then seeing Marina's lumpy face spammed across this website back when people actually thought she would amount to something.
