Marina and the Diamonds Singer Does Not Want to Be a Role Model
Marina and the Diamonds has confessed that she does not like the idea of being an inspiration.
Talking to the news of the Earth, the ‘Hollywood’ vocalist explained that she does not think that she is an appropriate icon. The Marina and the Diamonds Hollywood music video is now one of the most played on cable TV music stations.
“I’m frightened at being regarded as one,” she revealed. “I’m just a handful of contradictions. I am getting indignant at myself a lot, as I do not always express myself in a good way. So now I’m putting myself on the line by working my thoughts out in public.” Marina added that she doesn’t think about herself as a “workaholic”, although she’s already pondering her 2nd album. “I do not have the drive to keep going and going,” she said. “I’d rather make 5 albums, figure myself out, and then stop. “By the time I am 35, I hope that I can have found happiness and be having babies, living like a grandmother in the country and skipping in daisies.” Marina and the Diamonds releases her first album The Family Jewels on Feb twenty-two.
She is being raved about as the next Kate Bush, the United Kingdom’s answer to Woman Gaga, and a Welsh singer / composer who is going to put the phobia of pop into the likes of La Roux and Florence and the Machine. So should we think the hype? You bet. Claire Rees met Jetty and the Diamonds Jetty Diamandis is sat on a leather settee in a basement bar in Cardiff Bay having her footage taken after having just asked if her outfit makes her look like a Barbie Barbarella. She has changed out of her neon pink body-con and is looking cool in an on-trend digital print mini dress and faded denim jacket, her dark brown hair extensions over one shoulder, her Cleopatra eyes down-turned.
No, I do not need to rest my foot on the table, she asserts. I do not need it to look too leggy. This is pop music’s latest player and the lady set to have 2010 and she’s definitely someone that knows what she would like and how she would like the world to see her. A 24-year-old Abergavenny-born talent whose voice has been compared to Kate Bush and Siouxsie Sioux and whose model looks have seen her being mistaken for Shakira and Catherine Zeta-Jones. She’s neither, as she points out feistily on the explosive single Hollywood which was released on Monday and is ready to make the Top 10 this weekend.
