Marina Diamandis, previously known as Marina and the Diamonds, is a singer and songwriter noticed and acclaimed for her attention-grabbing lyricism, powerful vocals, unconventional aesthetics (during her early career) and strong sense of artistry. Her 2010 debut album, the new wave/indie release The Family Jewels, got her a strong critical and commercial reaction, which continued to increase with the concept album Electra Heart, which allow her to attain international success and even some crossover success. Her synthpop-inspired third album, Froot, was released in 2015 with the strongest reviews of her career but it failed to replicate the commercial impact. After a small career hiatus and an artistic name change, Marina reinvented herself with the release of her double album Love + Fear in 2019 to a mixed response.

Marina, who enjoys a large online cult following and its often labelled among the most original pop stars of the 2010s, has been awarded with an MTV Europe Music Award, Sweden GAFFA Award and has been recognizd by the BBC in their Sound of 2010 poll among other honors.
