Following a three year hiatus from the music industry, MARINA will release her highly anticipated album ‘LOVE + FEAR’ on 26th April across all platforms.
MARINA used her break as a period of reflection and to rediscover her authentic self, as opposed to the artist and persona (‘and the Diamonds’) she had lived and breathed since signing her record deal at the age of 22.
MARINA says of the album ‘‘LOVE is filled with a longing to enjoy life and a desire for unity. FEAR explores subjects that have been a lot harder for me to work through and understand, such as purpose insecurity in love, and major shifts in our social conscience regarding the systematic misogyny and sexual abuse employed by powerful figures in the media. A companion to LOVE, these ideas cross to showcase and explore the polarising sides of human nature’’.
The first official single is ‘Superstar‘. You can listen to the song here:
‘SUPERSTAR’ (Lyric)
Before I met you, I pushed them all away
Soon as I kissed you, I wanted you to stay
What I like about you is you know who you are
What you like about me is I know what I’m not
And I, I know that you never sleep, oh
So impossible to dream
When you’re far away from me
Oh I, I’m all you could ever need, oh
So impossible to breathe
I love the way
I love the way we worked so hard
Yeah, we’ve come so far
Baby, look at me, you’re my superstar
When I’m afraid, when the world’s gone dark
Come and save my day, you’re my superstar
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Superstar, superstar
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Superstar, superstar
You never judge me for any of my fears
Never turn your back, always keep my body near
All of the days that we spend apart
My love is a planet revolving your heart
And I, I know that you never sleep, oh
So impossible to dream when you’re far away from me
Oh I, I’m all you could ever need, oh
So impossible to breathe
I love the way
I love the way we worked so hard
Yeah, we’ve come so far
Baby, look at me, you’re my superstar
When I’m afraid, when the world’s gone dark
Come and save my day, you’re my superstar
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Superstar, superstar
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Superstar, superstar
We’ll stick together, make it through the storm
You and I, whoever said we couldn’t have it all?
I love the way we worked so hard
Yeah, we’ve come so far
Baby, look at me, you’re my superstar
When I’m afraid, when the world’s gone dark
Come and save my day, you’re my superstar
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Superstar, superstar
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Superstar, superstar
