MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS
DESCRIPTION Marina Lambrini Diamandis (born 10 October 1985), better known as Marina and the Diamonds (sometimes stylised as Marina & the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter. Her stage name, "Marina and the Diamonds", consists of Diamandis' first name and the translation of her surname which means "Diamonds" in Greek.
Although "The Diamonds" are often mistaken for her backing band, they in fact refer to Diamandis' fans: she explains this on her MySpace page by saying "I'm Marina. You are the diamonds."
Diamandis' musical style ranges from keyboard-based ballads to more up-tempo New Wave-style songs with full band backing. She has cited a wide-range of influences such as Daniel Johnston, Blondie, The Distillers, Patti Smith, Tom Waits, Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Kate Bush, Britney Spears, Yann Tiersen, Elliott Smith, Dolly Parton and Madonna.

My first song of hers was Oh No! too, thought she wasn't really much that special. (well I think I heard a Hollywood snippet ages before) And then she's one of my most liked female pop artists
