Welsh singer and songwriter Marina Diamandis has released four studio albums, four extended plays, 17 singles (including one as a featured artist), four promotional singles and 21 music videos.
Diamandis released her debut extended play, The Crown Jewels EP, in June 2009 on the independent label Neon Gold Records.[1] After signing to 679 Recordings and Atlantic Records, she released her debut studio album, The Family Jewels, in February 2010. The album reached number five on the UK Albums Chart and was certified gold by both the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA).[2][3][4] It was promoted by the singles 'Mowgli's Road', 'Hollywood', 'I Am Not a Robot', 'Oh No!' and 'Shampain'. 'Hollywood' was the highest-peaking single from the album, reaching number 12 on the UK Singles Chart.[5]
Diamandis' second studio album, Electra Heart, was released in April 2012, topping the charts in the United Kingdom, as well as the Irish Album Chart;[2][6] it was certified gold in both countries.[2][7] In the United States, it peaked at number 31 on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[8][9] The album spawned the singles 'Primadonna', 'Power & Control' and 'How to Be a Heartbreaker'. The first of these remains her highest-charting single in the UK at number 11,[5] while charting at number three in Ireland and Austria.[6][10] 'Primadonna' was certified silver by the BPI,[3] and platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), IFPI Denmark and Recorded Music NZ.[11][12][13] Both 'Primadonna' and 'How to be a Heartbreaker' have been certified gold by the RIAA.[9]
Diamandis' third studio album, Froot, was released in March 2015. The album charted at numbers 10 and four in the UK and Ireland, respectively.[2][6] It also reached number eight on the US Billboard 200, becoming her first album to reach that country's top 10.[8] The album spawned five singles: 'Froot', 'Happy', 'I'm a Ruin', 'Forget' and 'Blue'.

See AllAbout Marina and The Diamonds
Marina and the Diamonds, really just Marina Diamandis, was born in 1986 to Welsh and Greek parents, although she has often claimed to be from Ancient Greece. After dropping out of four different music courses at four different universities, she decided to make her own way in music, and began writing left-field pop songs. Early on, she claimed that her inspirations were Britney Spears and Gwen Stefani -- who she often covered at live gigs -- but her songs have a soulful edge pointing to a deeper source of influence. Diamandis' piano/keyboard-driven songs vary from melancholic ballads to out-and-out glam pop, but her voice and melodic style are what make her unique.
Essentially a solo artist, Marina wrote the bulk of her early material alone, arranging it for a band to ensure her live shows carried the full energy of her studio recordings. Quick to distance herself from comparisons to the rest of the female solo artists who broke through in 2009, Marina was also open about voicing her opinions on more established musical peers including Lily Allen and Kate Nash. In interviews she often showed a dislike of being grouped together with other emerging artists, especially when she had nothing in common with them except gender. The variety in her music made it hard to classify or pigeonhole, and comparisons were made with artists as diverse as Regina Spektor and Elvis Costello.
Her first single, 'Obsessions/Mowgli's Road,' was issued by indie label Neon Gold in the U.S., also home to electro-indie Americans Passion Pit. It was followed later in 2009 by The Crown Jewels EP, which contained three new songs, including an electronic remix of fan favorite 'I Am Not a Robot.' After playing the British festival circuit during the summer of 2009, Marina briefly retired to the studio to polish her debut album, 2010's The Family Jewels, before quickly hitting the road again. The album hit number five in the U.K., but made only a small splash throughout the world. Her second full-length studio outing, Electra Heart, was preceded by the singles 'Primadonna' and 'Radioactive.' It topped the charts in the U.K., led by a strong showing for the 'Primadonna' single, and also cracked the Top 40 in America.
Diamandis' third album, 2015's Froot, was a radical departure in working style; instead of a large cast of producers, she co-produced the album with David Kosten (Brooke Fraser, Bat for Lashes) and wrote all the songs herself. While still packed with memorable, new wave-inflected pop hooks, Froot was a more personal and evocative production that showcased Diamandis' maturation as a performer. ~ Jack Semmence
