Marina is here to generate joy, during WorldPride and always
A few weeks ago, Marina Diamandis took to social media to make an all-caps plea to bring back things like whimsy, smiling in photos and dillydallying.
'MAKE THIS THE SUMMER OF CRINGE,' she wrote. 'MAKE THIS THE SUMMER OF GIVING A S---.'
That mission statement reverberates throughout the forthcoming album 'Princess of Power' from the singer-songwriter, who performs mononymously as Marina. Across a trio of synth-powered pop anthems, Diamandis celebrates personal transformation, new love and female empowerment with her trademark wit and glam.
