Marina Diamandis has evolved from her chrysalis to spread her wings toward another bright and brilliant pop record. Her latest single, 'BUTTERFLY,' introduces a new era and marks her first musical release since 2022. It also comes hot off the release of her literary debut, Eat The World: A Collection of Poems, which dropped last October.
Known for her quick-witted lyrical prowess, the artist—who simply goes by the mononym MARINA these days—is back with another alt-pop gem that sees her inching toward greater heights. She's leaving anything that no longer serves her behind as she muses, 'To become a butterfly / Parts of me had to die / Spread my wings in the golden light / and I fly.'
Along with the track came an Aerin Moreno-directed music video featuring several ultra-glamorous looks—including one with a bedazzled butterfly perched upon MARINA's signature dark hair. As it starts to take over our social feeds, the visual also premiered on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop, and on Paramount's billboards in New York's Times Square.
'My next record is very playful and has a character-led concept, but not in the same way as Electra Heart,' MARINA told Plastik magazine in January. 'I found it weighty to have to commit to character for 2 years, and that's not where I'm at now. This next era is very fun. It has a special energy.'
As new music is on the horizon, MARINA's also headed on a festival circuit this year with appearances at Coachella, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, and Osheaga.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be marveling at all of her stunning looks in the 'BUTTERFLY' music video and memorizing the song's lyrics 'til further notice:
