23 Feb 2011 - News

Maybe it was the time of year, the inspiring music or the hours spent in a tiny church in the tranquil setting of Dingle, but the Other Voices festival seemed to bring out the philosopher in all its performers. Roe McDermott caught up with Marina and the Diamonds, Ellie Goulding and ASIWYFA as they talked about the highs and lows of 2010.

Updates from day four of the Dingle-based festival, with four fantastic Irish acts and a surprise special guest to close the night

Ms Diamandis' growing popularity is evident in the mass singalongs that continue unabated throughout the evening

05 Nov 2010 - REVIEW

I can't say I'm overly happy to watch Maria Diamandis morph slowly into Katy Perry but the hugely poppy 'Oh No!' is, at the very least, an irresistible step in the wrong direction - not least because the accompanying music video ironically echoes Marina's idea that "Real life has no appeal". Best of all, the Welsh lass has resisted the vocoder monster for another four minutes. Maz, you’ve got another candy-coloured hit on your hands.

28 Jul 2010 - REVIEW

Just when you think it couldn't get any weirder than N-Dubz covering The Script on the Beeb's Live Lounge, Marina Diamandis is making over crunkcore kids 3Oh!3 with a lick of string quartet. The original 'Starstrukk' (should the spelling be insufficient warning) was a sleazy tale of power perving delivered at breakneck speed by the 3Oh!3 fellas and annoying cohort Katy Perry. While Ms. Diamandis' baritone can be just as grating, the feisty 24-year-old has got it really right on this one, transforming the tune into a gut-wrenching ballad with a flash of Kate Bush genius sorely missing from debut album The Family Jewels. Who'd have thunk the words "Tight jeans, Double D's, makes the man go whoo! whoo!" could be so heartbreaking?

06 May 2010 - REVIEW

Only Irish date on October UK & Ireland tour.

05 May 2010 - News

She is the brightest pop star of the moment. But Marina Diamandis – who records as Marina and the Diamonds – doesn’t want to be a blink-and-she’s-gone starlet. As her debut album is released she tells Paul Nolan why she’s in it for the long haul, why celebrity culture has spun out of control and why she’s putting romance on hold to build her career.

09 Mar 2010 - Interview

In the issue of Hot Press that hits shops today (Thursday February 25), pop sensation Marina Diamandis admits it's hard talking about herself, adding "it’s not all fun and games, but as long as it’s in moderation I don’t mind doing it.”

25 Feb 2010 - News
