Thursday, 11 March 2010
Written by Nigel Sachdev
Off the back of her brilliant performance at the NME Awards as well as the release of her top 5 debut album 'The Family Jewels', Marina and the Diamonds, AKA Greek/Welsh 24 year old Marina Diamandis, will release her new single "I Am Not A Robot" on April 26th.
'I Am Not A Robot' was originally included in the release of last year's "The Crown Jewels EP" and the accompanying video by Rankin is among one of her most loved by fans.
A firm crowd favourite, Marina commented:
"I’ve decided to release 'I am Not A Robot' as my next single, as people seem to empathize and relate with the song, regardless of gender or age"
The single release will feature remixes by the likes of LA afro-beat/world music act Fool’s Gold as well as sprawling New England indie collective Passion Pit.
In the next few weeks, Marina will be making her NY debut at Le Poisson Rouge before heading to the SXSW music conference as one of the most anticipated artists. She’ll be performing at a variety of prestigious showcases there, including Neon Gold Records showcase, Fader Fort party, Chop Shop and Perez Hilton’s party. She returns to the UK in May for her own sold-out headline UK tour.
