Watch & Listen: Our New Obsession!

Filed under: Anglophilia > Beauty Buzz > Listen To This > Marina and The Diamonds

When we first mentioned Marina and The Diamonds back in January - in this post - we called her our "latest crush".

Well, she has officially moved into our new "obsession" category!

We LOVE Marina and The Diamonds !!!!!!!

She is the latest in a long line of quirky piano chicks we adore, from Tori Amos to Regina Spektor.

Marina and The Diamonds' new video for I Am Not A Robot is exquisite. Beautiful, captivating, powerful, mysterious and a ton of other adjectives we could come up with.

The song takes your typical piano quirky female tune and infuses it with some meat. The orchestration/arrangement/production gives it some major kick, and we can't stop listening to it over and over again.

CLICK HERE to watch the video for I Am Not A Robot. And then click here to listen to more songs from Marina and The Diamonds.

    I like this song better:
    this is my new song for this pig, please help me add lyrics too it:

    Piggies been running his fat mouth, very brave behind a laptop.
    they gave him that boom boom pow
    got knocked the fuck out, gaga didnt even step up
    cause she mighta got that boom boom pow
    piggie kisses jolies ass, cant say enough to praise madonna and hathaway,
    but when it comes to lindsay his inner bitch is unleashed
    someone needs to take him down a notch.
    trying to act like a victim but this bitch provoked the whole thing.
    boom boom pow.
    what was it you told prejean "you shoulda answered like this"
    well pigster you shoulda walked the fuck away and avoided
    that boom boom pow.

    Your new obsession should be keeping your foul mouth shut and learning how to duck.

  16. 16

    I kinda like this song… i could imagine me getting to like it better.
    I like the video.
    The woman is beautiful!



  17. 17

    i like the song, the video is weird. lol



  18. 18

    lame, weird, sounds bad, no likey



  19. 19

    i love it.
    tres sexyy :)



  20. 20

    i actually like it. its kinda brilliant. and she has natural beauty- not all skinny and blah like a paris hilton wannabe. and the song is good! plus the lyrics!! haha "youve been actin awful tough lately, smoking a lot of cigarettes lately, but inside youre just a little baby" :D



  21. 21

    her teeth!!! they are like bunny teeth!



  22. 22

    Re: Race Bannon – Maybe you have no taste in good music…



  23. 23

    ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
    i am in love
    fuckn beautiful
    truly an art piece
    thank you perez for sharing



  24. 24

    That was awful!!



  25. 25

    Re: LizardKinG – spreading the word…I like it



  26. 26

    I like this but Obsessions was better. I was so addicted to that. I love her voice!



  27. 27

    there are SO many female singers out right now that sound like this and it's really annoying, not quirky. Just irritating.



  28. 28

    Is anyone else SICK AND TIRED of all of the fucking lesbionic music that is posted here?! If I hear another self endulgent simple sounding sounds with "deep thoughts" I am going to blow my brains out and put out a sign that says "Perez made me do it… and he DESERVED to get punched in the face!"



  29. 29

    I actually liked it. Her voice is nice, and the song is different.



  30. 30

    Re: HellaGeo – Oh, go listen to Britney Spears and Black Eyed Peas. You sure don't have to worry about "deep thoughts" with that shit.



  31. 31

    OMG…SHE'S ALSO MY NEW OBSESSION.

    Thanks, Perez!!!



  32. 32

    seen her live during the evolution music festival in newcastle.
    she was alright but very strange.



  33. 33

    I think this song is cute. But really Perez…stop trying to act like you discovered her. She is already signed to a label, which means that someone whose profession is discovering talent has already discovered her before you. Don't forget that your "profession" is drawing dicks on peoples' faces.

  47. 47

    Sounds like an Imogen Heap wannabe. Cool video but song is lame.



  48. 48

    cool video. very visual and dramatic.



  49. 49

    she's got quite a katy perry voice,

    and i like it very much^^



  55. 55

    Pretty Bad ass



  56. 56

    I LOVE this. I completely heart her. I don't know why people read your page if they are just gonna hate, seems like they would just…i don't know, go be horrible somewhere else. Only love for you here :)



  57. 57

    Perez, another one you recommend, that I totally love. Can't get enough. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, now this … maybe you should consider a career change ?? many thanks



  58. 58

    her voice is kind of interesting, and pretty in its own way



  59. 59

    I can't stop listening to it now !! so beautiful & haunting …



  60. 60

    I want to be able to put little rhinestones on my lips.



  61. 61

    um, FEIST much? Stupid.



  62. 62

    I heart the vox!
    Kinda 70s; Kinda Katy Perry
    Very kinda alright!



  63. 63

    the video is kinda copy of Martin Solveig's "Rocking Music".. boh i don't like the song



  64. 64

    okay so you diss boom boom pow but you say this shit is good? clean out your ears please!



  65. 65

    i like it i'm going to download it right now



  66. 66

    Don't really like the song, music is ordinary but the only reason the video is veiwable to me is because she is an attractive woman. I love the jewel encrusted eye's and lip's.



  67. 67

    Very Kate Bush-ey. Thanks!



  68. 68

    She sounds like Miss Siouxie Sioux….Lovesit!



  69. 69

    fan created.



  70. 70

    She is unique, love the makeup. She reminds me of Kelly Clarkson and Bjork
    merged together.



  71. 71

    Fantastic make-up artist!



  72. 72

    OMG LOVE



  73. 73

    wow somebody other than gaga.very nice.gaga will never be madonna.only one MADONNA.



  74. 74

    oh my goodness, i really like it!



  75. 75

    I loved it, and I get it.



  76. 76

    That be some rockin' diamond makeup.

    And… I like her vibrado. Very sexy.



  77. 77

    She makes me miss KAte Bush and Imogen HEap, and I mean that in a good way. Her other song on her myspace "obsession" is actually much better. Looks like you're on the way to discovering a star



  78. 78

    Love it. Beautiful song and video. Thanks for posting this.



  79. 79

    Re: madonna u are dynamite – hahahaa rightt xD



  80. 80

    I'm trying to like her; she's right up my alley…but I can't help but feel like she's trying to be Regina Spektor (and not succeeding).



  81. 81

    …i like it! It's crazy-cool. Why aren't they on itunes yet??



  82. 82

    Very cool. Wanted to buy. NoT on ITUNES??



  83. 83

    It is safe to say u & I have different tastes Perez. I really thought this sucked.



  84. 84

    Re: cherma – That's because Boom Boom Pow does suck. Majorly.



  85. 85

    I like it, but not enough to buy it.
    The video is really good.



  86. 86

    Kate Bush rip-off



  87. 87

    I kind of think she sounds much lik Shakira.



  88. 88

    Kickass Song and Video…. I totally get your new obsession.

  89. what! says – reply to this


    89

    she's brilliant but i have to say very goldfrapp! Perez… nice find!



  90. 90

    I love it! Sounds bit like Imogen Heap and Regina Specor! Cant stop listening to it!:)



  91. 91

    I don't like it, it's too repetitive and annoying, like obviously you're not a robot, you 're a bedazzled naked chick covered in body paint, now go away from my computer screen. Sick name though.



  92. 92

    i love this song i love her i love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
