The Times CRAPPY Review:
Marina and the Diamonds
Electra Heart
**
Marina Diamandis started out as an unusual popstar, with an operatic voice and a self taught piano style. Now she has made an album full of cliches that could have come from any X-Factor puppet. It was informed by a break-up, the Greek-Welsh singer says, but the desperate desire to be up there with Jessie J seems a more likely inspiration. She sings in a variety of personas, all paper-thin. Primadonna, an undemanding slab of electronic pop, finds her in a diva mode, while on Bubblegum Bitch she's a femme fatale with a weekness to sugary drinks:"Soda pop, soda pop, baby here I come staight to No.1." At least she's honest about her intentions.
