{"product_id":"electra-heart-deluxe","title":"Electra Heart - Deluxe","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeluxe version with extra tracks. Marina and the Diamonds second album, \u003ci\u003eElectra Heart\u003c\/i\u003e, is not so much a creative leap forward, more an olympian pole-vault over the bar of talented-newcomer into the global amphitheatre of a cultivated classic. Two years on from her top 5 debut \u003ci\u003eThe Family Jewels\u003c\/i\u003e, the self-styled avant-garde 'diy artist' has detonated her own experimental past and landed feet first in the future with \u003ci\u003eElectra Heart\u003c\/i\u003e, a stunningly ambitious, seamless, cohesive and confident sonic pulsar spinning between electro-pop euphoria and come-down melancholia. The album is produced by a cache of old school and a-list producers: Dr Luke (Katy Perry) and Liam Howe (Sneaker Pimps) but mostly (9 out of 12 songs) Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Kylie) and Rick Nowels (Madonna, Stevie Nicks, Lykke Li). A hook-packed stunner with the sonic ambition of a one-woman Depeche Mode, her onetime theatrical vocals now effortlessly soar between spectral, commanding and towering power-pop, finding her vocal identity in an album about a loss of it. The songs, mostly recorded in la in 2011, were written on-the-road through America in 2010, teased into life on Marina's 100 keyboard or sung into her lap-top in the back of her tour-bus bedroom, 'watching the corn fields flying by and making sense of the message that American culture employs; that you can be anyone and do anything, go anywhere and lose yourself- start afresh and forget whatever the truth is'. The song titles tell the story - from throbbing first single 'Primadonna' to the robo-pop of 'Bubblegum Bitch' to the haughty spoken-word soliloquies of 'Homewrecker' - a fantasy roll-call of 'Fairly Vengeful Characters'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"East \/ West","offers":[{"title":"Purple | LP","offer_id":50468851417419,"sku":"1153417","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/c988a308-c0fb-4412-a252-70852f008203_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727352925","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/electra-heart-deluxe","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
