Marina and the Diamonds -- for both her beguiling vocals and her playful, irreverent style. Marina, who rose to pop prominence with songs like "I Am Not a Robot" and "Oh No!" from 2010's The Family Jewels, recently released "Fear and Loathing," a preview track from her upcoming album. hec1XF. The latest album, “FROOT,” from Marina and the Diamonds. (Photo: Marina and the Diamonds.)Welsh singer-songwriter Marina Diamandis, Marina and the Diamonds, is bringing her killer style to the Governors Ball stage this weekend. Her third album, “FROOT,” debuted Top 10 on Billboard last month and is becoming an international hit (check out her awesome video below if you haven’t already). Yahoo Beauty got the scoop on her album, how she preps and unwinds on tour, and her makeup tricks and Beauty: Have you always had such a strong sense of style and identity?Marina Diamandis: Yes, when I was about 14, I started shopping for things myself and also making alternations and trying to make clothes. My style has definitely become better as I’ve gotten older. I accessorize way less and I don’t try to do three looks in one go. My beauty look now is ‘50s eyeliner with eyeliner in the waterline, and then a big red lip—that’s my you have a go-to red lipstick?I do, I found it here its actually in Sephora’s Matte Cream Lip Stain ($13). It really doesn’t come off, which as a singer that’s the only one I’ve found that was completely fail-safeFor liner do you use liquid or a pencil?Yep, liquid. I really like how Alexa Chung’s Eyeko liner goes on, so that’s been my favorite but Bobbi Brown gel liner ($25) is quite nice as performing at Governors Ball. How does your makeup vary on stage versus a photo shoot or a music video? When performing, I try and do a lot less in terms of coverage, because of sweat—you don’t want to cake your skin in makeup. With photography and video shoots you have to have a really good coverage. It’s not a major difference, but I think with video shoots it is more of an opportunity to experiment with something new that might not look great in real life. In the last video we did this bright day-glow coral pink eyeliner and it looked amazing in the video but in real life it’s not so you have any secret weapons to prevent sweating on stage? I don’t know if you can avoid sweating, but Make Up For Ever has a waterproof foundation called Face & Body ($40) that’s really about a must-have product on the road?I like Simple makeup wipes ($5). When I get on the plane I take everything off and then put argan oil on my which products do you keep with you at all times?I always have Laura Mercier nude lip liner ($23) for whenI want a more natural look and then add a little lip balm for definition. And Bobbi Brown Face Touch Up Stick ($28)—it’s like full coverage right where you need it. Concealer and a other beauty secrets?I use coconut oil for everything. I know it is everywhere right now, but since 2012 I started using it in cooking and then I started using it on my face and hair. And I was like, ‘Sh*t this is a miracle! It is like a magic cream!’ And now it is everywhere, but it really is amazing. Definitely my Boots has come to the US at Walgreens and Duane Reade. Did you go to Boots all the time growing up? Yes, it was in my tiny town in South Wells. So it really tickles me see the Boots logo in America because I grew up with it. Boots No. 7 is love going into the Boots stores whenever I am in London. Do you?Yeah I always am on the hunt thinking, “What do they have that we don’t have?”That’s how I am the CVS as soon as I get into town I’ll go, even if its your favorite drugstore find in the States?I used to get so many false eyelashes, but now I am not doing that so it would probably be nail varnish—you have really bright, amazing colors so I always get are your beauty icons? Are they British or American?They’re a mix! Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, and my mom. I suppose in the modern world, I really like Angelina Jolie. She is undeniably beautiful. For musicians, I always loved Gwen Stefani, Madonna, and Shirley Manson from Garbage. She always looked really is the sixth track on Marina and the Diamonds’ album, †(Photo: Marina and the Diamonds)How is your new album different from your previous work?The last record was very contemporary—fun pop, and electronic. This one is a lot more live, with more guitars on it. It is a quite shift in direction!What are you listening to right now? I really love, Shamir’s song called “On the There’s a duo called Broods, one of my friends Tove Lo, who I am sure you’ve heard would you love to perform with?I love Röyksopp. And Shirley Manson because she’s so awesome, and she’s such a nice do you do to unwind after concerts and festivals and need to decompress?I haven’t got it quite figured out yet. Doing meditation or just sitting still for 20 minutes and focusing on breathing exercises—it’s very similar to singing. And also going on a bike ride. Disconnected from my phone and the out Marina and the Diamonds “FROOT” below:Disclaimer: Bobbi Brown is the editor in chief of Yahoo to Style a Flower CrownHow the Flower Crown Became the It-Accessory of CoachellaMarina and The Diamonds’ Weekend Playlist what marina (and the diamonds) song are you Quiz introduction ur mentally ill. what’s new The lyrics to “Enjoy Your Life,” off Marina Diamandis’ new album, Love & Fear, could serve as the soundtrack to your soul from here on out — at least, they should.“Sit back and enjoy your problems / You don’t always have to solve them,” she cheers. “Cuz your worst days, they are over / So, enjoy your life / Yea, you might as well accept it / Don’t you waste your time regretting. Yea, your worst days — they are over / So, enjoy your life.”It’s exactly the type of infectious, carefree chorus you’d expect from any other pop star. But when sung by Marina, who’s back from a hiatus with a tweaked stage name (no longer “Marina and the Diamonds,” simply Marina), it feels like a release — like finding joy in life’s in-between moments or coming to terms with the inevitability of by Leeor the day of her release of single “Orange Trees,” a sugary-sweet summer anthem, the Greek-Welsh musician is in a great mood as she looks back. But a few years ago, almost a decade and three albums into her career, Marina says, she stopped growing.“I didn’t feel the same about music anymore or why I was motivated to be an artist,” explains Diamandis, who retreated after the 2016 tour for her Froot album. “The way I processed that was, Well, maybe I don’t want to have a job in public life anymore. I just remember thinking I don’t want my face to be on anything. I don’t like anyone looking at me — just a complete rejection of that, so I thought, Well, maybe I shouldn’t do this anymore.”For the record, however, she doesn’t categorize her return as a comeback at all: “I don’t really care. I’m just like, Hello. This is my new music. In my mind I quit, but in reality, I just wasn’t doing music at that time.” (That hiatus did include college classes in psychology — more on that later.)Photographed by Leeor before Marina took her breather, her single (off Froot), “Happy,” depicted a reclusive celebrity, alone and in search of happiness but unsure where to find it. It was a darker, yet somehow still colorful, turn for a woman who once sang about how to be the heartbreaker (not the other way around).When Diamandis arrived with her debut LP The Family Jewels in 2010, she charmed the hearts of young women and gay men searching for lighter fare than other British singers of that era (Adele, Amy Winehouse, Duffy, etc.). Her story is less rags-to-riches than it is a butterfly getting its wings: Her obsession with becoming a singer wasn’t enough to keep her from dropping out of music school, but it gave her the nerve to create her own music — teaching herself how to play the keyboard and recording her demos on GarageBand. Ultimately, her grassroots approach and her embracing of MySpace would see her land 14 record label offers. She rejected all but also set Marina apart from the get-go: her innate understanding of the digital revolution of both streaming music and social media. Her sound, an orchestral combination of sticky lyrics and sweet melodies, came about at a time when the internet had begun influencing teenagers, and when tools like GarageBand became accessible to everyone. An imperfect, unpolished pop genius, Marina harnessed a gut sense for meaningful, personal lyrics and tempered it with radio-friendly sounds. By then, pop stars weren’t just dissecting love within their songs; they could rewrite the very notion of love, changing the way you looked at it, her confident arrival: Diamandis regularly communicated with her cult fanbase during a time when most artists hadn’t yet embraced platforms like Twitter and Tumblr. (Instagram was still years away.) “I took that tool... to talk to people online and project my personality that way,” she by Leeor the Diamonds, for the uninitiated, aren’t actually real, and have nothing to do with cubic zirconias, either. In 2010, Diamandis described them as a conceptual security blanket (and a play on her surname) rather than an actual backing band: “I saw a simple group made up of many people who had the same hearts. A space for people with similar ideals who couldn’t fit into life's pre-made mold. I was terribly awkward for a long time! I really craved to be part of one thing because I never felt too connected to anybody and now I feel I have that all around me.”After The Family Jewels, Marina’s sound and execution quickly matured, and she was eager to present a more twisted vision of female pop stardom. And so, 2012’s Electra Heart was born. Diamandis again gave fans what they wanted (shake it off to “Primadonna,” “Bubblegum Bitch,” and ”Power & Control” to see what we mean).But nothing about album number three, Froot, hinted that Marina was on the verge of quitting music altogether. The LP contained just as many requisite pop puns, and struck a perfect balance of inspiring and somber lyrics. But, again, it didn’t propel Marina into the mainstream. “Do you really want me to write a feminist anthem?” she asks on “Can’t Pin Me Down.” “All these contradictions pouring out of me / Just another girl in the 21st century. I am never gonna give you anything you expect.” Four years post-Froot, Love & Fear (part one, Love, dropped the final week of March, and part two, Fear, arrives at the end of April) isn’t a total departure from her signature sound of electronic rock-pop. But it’s a bit sparser, and certainly lacks the angst of previous by Leeor and in person, Diamandis isn’t afraid to go deep. She’s a Libra, and concedes that she takes on the emotions of others. On Love & Fear’s “Emotional Machine,” for instance, she sings, “I’m a machine, an emotional being / Since I was a teen / Cut my feelings off clean”. And she holds her own in conversations about politics. In a recent interview with Channel 4, Diamandis cried as she discussed the state of American politics (“It’s anti-human”). Her response ballad on Love & Fear is aptly titled “To Be Human”: “I like to think about how we all look from afar / People driving fancy cars look like Beetles to the stars / The missiles and the bombs sound like symphonies gone wrong / And if there is a God, they'll know why it's so hard.”“One thing that has really changed in my world perspective in the past three years is this feeling that we are all the same. That might just be a personal feeling or it might be something that has been triggered by our politics and the fact that we aren’t united, that we’re actually more divided than ever,” she says. “That hurts me like it hurts people who are on the receiving end of discrimination. It feels completely wrong, the way that the world has been moving in the past two years.”Photographed by Leeor Diamandis sounds more introspective than your average pop vixen, it’s because she is. In fact, during her break from music, she took classes at the University of London, studying Psychology and Understanding Human Personality. When explaining why Love & Fear is 16 tracks, instead of the industry-average of 12 (and why it’s split into eight and eight), she cites Swedish psychologist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross: “She states that everything that we do stems from love or fear. So, love and fear are the two primary human emotions that all of our other emotions come out of,” she explains. “I thought that was a beautiful, universal way of painting a picture of the human experience. It was a really easy way to look at the songs and say, This comes from a feeling of joy or love and This definitely comes from a place of fear.”Another recent shift for Marina, sans the Diamonds: She’s established greater boundaries on her social media channels. “People are given access to artists, thinkers, people in public who they like, and you have to be smart about how much you decide to take in,” she says. “I don’t think it’s natural to know millions of people’s opinions of you. I don’t think that’s a useful thing for an artist. I’ve been able to manage that much more in recent years.”Like her sound, Diamandis’ new image is spare and stripped down. She has evolved from her colorful music festival stylings (the heart-shaped mole and the Spice Girls-esque stage wardrobe) to a more mature vision. “In my [new] album shots, I’m wearing Levi jeans and some spotty top. But that’s cool. That’s where I was at when I was shooting it,” reflects Marina, who cites vintage Cindy Crawford as a key inspiration for her new aesthetic. But Diamandis is a lyricist — she’s not distracted by fashion, despite how much her previous discography and visuals may say otherwise. “I’m a big fan of being able to select clothes that say something about where you’re at. And that can just be a black top and trousers. It doesn’t have to be fashion.” It makes sense, then, that the cover art for Love & Fear features just one fashion credit: an best part about talking to an artist ahead of their latest project — and in this case, their reemergence — is that there’s often not an ounce of melancholy in their voice. It’s proof of the reparative power of music. As Diamandis talks about Love & Fear, nothing gets her going as much as feedback on the songs. Even for diehard fans, it’s easy to forget just how far she’s come and what it took to get there. Because Diamandis should not have been a singer. She was not discovered, via YouTube or on the subway, nor has she ever competed on a television singing competition. She burst onto the music scene whether it was ready for her or not. It’s what makes the evolution of her lyrics, her sound, and her look, an entirely relatable, human experience.“I really, deeply believed that I should be doing this and that I should be a singer. I had a very strong, innate instinct,” she insists. “That’s the only way I can explain it. Because on paper, it seemed mad — someone who didn’t sing in public, had never written a song would be choosing this career path when, really, I should have been going to university and doing something more academic. But it’s why I kept trying.”
