“I kept saying to my producers: ‘You have to go harder on the drums!
Don’t be scared!'”
“Perhaps the negative reasons of wanting praise and wanting acceptance disappeared.
Zooey Grossman
I didn’t need it anymore.
But, as an artist, that freaked me out.
Why am I doing this, then, if I’m not doing it from a place of ego?
Does that mean I’m not going to be a good artist anymore?
I just thought,I’ve done three albums, and that’s enough.”
So, how does the new Marina experience life?
“I’m singing it as if I’m talking to someone,” Marina says.
“But, I’m really singing it to myself.”
As in completely deceased.
“She’s gone.
She and I can’t exist at the same time, so she had to die.
But that’s because Electra Heart is a character.Myname is Marina.”
Just don’t call it a reinvention.
“What are you reinventing?
You are you, whatever you’re wearing and however you look.
I don’t think it exists,” Marina says.
Because you’re an ever-changing, fluid body anyway."
“With this album, there’s no reinvention,” she finishes.
“It feels very simple and natural.”
