Some might consider her the quirky Welsh equivalent of Katy Perry while others consider her unique and commendable in her own right; regardless of the public view, Marina Diamandis from Marina and the Diamonds is perhaps one of the most innovative and musically interesting artists operating in the music industry today. Widely applauded for her fashion style of amalgamating vintage elements with quirky cartoon sensibilities, Marina's voice and songwriting talents are far more recognized in the public eye. With already two relatively successful and well-received albums beneath her belt, Marina is currently on the press tour for her latest endeavor entitled, Froot. The new album is a departure from her previous effort, Electra Heart, which incorporated elements of electronic pop music and returns to the sonic elements of her first album, The Family Jewels, which borrowed materials from indie rock as well as new wave.
While the titular track of the upcoming album, Froot, is captivating and incorporates lighthearted 70's inspired disco elements, Marina's latest single from her upcoming project, entitled "Forget", is exceptionally inspired. The lyrics are relatively uncomplicated and mainly preach the philosophy of abandoning regret and moving on from one's mistakes. It's definitely a song to which I've been returning more and more frequently since I first heard it.
