Marina Is 'Manifesting' Love on New Album, ‘Princess of Power'
Another MARINA album is nearly upon us, which means we'll soon have an entirely new rolodex of glittery alt-pop bangers to soundtrack our summer. According to the singer-songwriter, her latest record PRINCESS OF POWER is a form of 'manifestation music,' as her discography has always been.
During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, she got candid about how certain things in her life came true once she released her past fan-favorite albums, The Family Jewels, Electra Heart, and FROOT.
'The Family Jewels was full of manifestation,' she told the outlet. 'It was believing that I deserved… that I could be a star. It was based on what I'd been dreaming of. So, I fully believe this works.'
She added that 2015's FROOT 'brought a major love into my life,' and that her Tumblr-era megahit 'Primadonna,' off her album Electra Heart, 'created that lifestyle' of being front and center in the spotlight.
As for PRINCESS OF POWER, MARINA describes her track 'Rollercoaster' as 'manifestation music,' as she sings about 'embracing life's highs.'
'It almost always comes true,' she said, adding, 'I want this fresh, free energy.' She explained that she 'manifests finding love' in the song while another track on the album, 'Metallic Stallion,' tells the story of a lover with intimacy issues. The album's title track 'reteaches' her how to love, and according to the artist, she 'had to reconsider' her approach to romance.
'A lot of us, I think, prioritize romantic love. And I've, by force, had to reconsider that,' she said. 'That's massively part of this album as well,' she shared, adding, 'I just really want it to have a positive impact. Otherwise, what's the point of doing anything?'
PRINCESS OF POWER drops June 6 along with her fourth single, 'I <3 YOU.' The star has been teasing the track across social media before she takes the stage at New York's Governors Ball music festival on Saturday, June 7.
So far, fans have gotten a taste for MARINA's new album with tracks like 'Cuntissimo,' 'Cupid's Girl,' and 'Butterfly.' This marks MARINA's first full-length release since she dropped the deluxe edition of Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land in 2022, and we can't wait for the newness she's bringing with this new era.
