Marina and the Diamonds - I'm Not a Robot

This is Marina Diamandis (!) an up and coming London-based recording artist, under the name Marina and the Diamonds. She sounds a bit like Regina Spektor flirting with electro and looks like a cowgirl Bat For Lashes visiting the jungle.



This is the first video and lead single from 'The Crown Jewels EP', just released on June 22. The song's available in various remixes (Starsmiths's 24 Carat, The Shoes, The Aspirin's For My Children) and it's really hard to pick the best...



This, however, seems clear: Marina takes her stage name kinda literally - and I'm totally behind her on that.
What does everybody else think? Does she deserve the Crown?

You can get 'The Crown Jewels EP' by Marina and the Diamonds from Pure Groove or Neon Gold.

She will definitly make it big! I saw her at hoxton bar and kitched and she has amaziang stage and creative ability! Her songs are simple with twists and turns running through - Watch this space!
