I still want Primadonna to smash first.

I wouldn't be surprised if HTBAHB is the 2nd US single instead of P&C and then Lies followed by Starring Role are the next WW singles:

Primadonna
P&C/HTBAHB (US only)
Lies
Starring Role

I'm coming with you our country is full of tasteless losers

Also How To Be A Heartbreaker slays, as everyone else says, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a single for the US, it's so radio-friendly. I love it though, I need the full thing! i'd love for it to be b-side to Power & Control over here.

Speaking of Power & Control it's not getting views on Youtube like Primadonna did

I think part of the problem is maybe commercial stations don't really support her, and god not even Radio 1 has playlisted it yet? I don't think Power & Control is a bad single choice I just don't think it is getting much exposure. I know it was VIP track of the week across music channels last week but the majority of people do not sit all day watching music channels, they listen to radio in the car.

Electra&TheHearts

Hopefully Radio 1 will playlist it today...if not I don't think they will playlist it all.

Okay, I just want to say something. I've seen a few people (including diamonds) say that some of Marina's new material is generic. Mainly 'How to Be a Heartbreaker' and 'Primadonna'. I would like to say that upbeat =/= generic. Synths =/= generic. Listening to the HTBAH snippet, the lyrics are laid out like a rule book, as if we were listening to the audiobook on "5 Easy Steps to Breaking a Heart". What other current pop song is doing that right now? It's just another way Marina twisted commercial sounds and put her own flavour on the track.
As for 'Primadonna', Marina is the only artist with a song out on radio right now about being a bitchy queen. It's not generic.

Primadonna has a generic sound but her voice + the lyrics make up for it.
Further people are to close minded to relate to listen to the lyrics or to try to understand the concept.
They hear synths and that's generic for them

But who cares?

Don't you say?
This is obvious.
When people say that those songs are generic, they're refer to the sounds, the melody, etc, not to the lyrics or the concept.

Guys, that How To Be A Heartbreaker clip.

I NEED.

The new song is the first by her I don't like

Maybe when I hear it in full it will grow on me but I doubt it

That would be the perfect order singles wise

I've always hoped P&C isn't released in the US. It doesn't seem like they will. and yeah I really think she's coming to slay here. So far everyone that knows her likes her!!

BlackJesus

i hope that she re-releases this album with all the unreleased songs!!!

According to this article about Rihanna, Marina's new boyfriend is Burns (aka the guy who did that great remix of Primadonna

)

Not bad.

Now... just let him be the executive producer of the follow-up to Electra Heart.

Seriously, he's great and that snippet of Primadonna (B Remix) slayed my soul.

You don't need the snippet when the whole thing is already out there on the Primadonna release over here.

So is How to Be a Heartbreaker going to be on the physical CD? Cause I just bought the American version so I could get that version. Or is it only iTunes and it's gonna be the standard UK version for the physical release?

I would assume it will be on the US physical because they also took out living dead an put in sex yeah and radioactive. I doubt the iTunes version would differ that much from the physical version. No one would get the physical one!
