Princess Of Power

About

“I feel like a new artist. It’s definitely a new chapter for me,” MARINA tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe as she steps into her <i>PRINCESS OF POWER</i> era. In April 2025, almost four years after 2021’s <i>Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land</i>, the Welsh pop maverick dropped the calling card “CUNTISSIMO,” the album’s third single, evoking the spirit of Salma Hayek, Thelma and Louise, and letting nobody dull your shine. MARINA took her time with the album, revitalizing herself to produce a glossy collection of tracks that reflect where she is in her post-Diamonds life. The vibrations are high, whether she’s embracing Europop on “DIGITAL FANTASY,” serving big emotion on “METALLIC STALLION,” or taking control of love on electro stomper “CUPID’S GIRL.” “I’ve never been worried about being away for a certain amount of time,” she say. “I actually like the periods away, and it’s always really refreshing. I’ve never felt any pressure to come back quickly.” Her timeline, she say, is her busine. “I didn’t release my first record until I was 24, which was comparatively a little late, and I think certain people are ready to receive things at different times to other people.” .
