I wouldn't be bothered if it was absent.

Shame! It's her best track to date, IMO.

I am soooo excited about this.
It's not a long waiting time, I thought it's going to be way longer. So I'm glad about it:)

Have a feeling this is going to be pushed back many times...

Don't scare me like that. Very rude in a way to announce Prima Donna as the "1st single" from Electra Heart. I've always felt that way about these buzz/viral singles. Because some people have thought of them as real singles and associate them with the upcoming album and expect it to be there.

urbanmusik mentioned Ciara. Go Girl is one of my top 10 favourite tracks from Ci, and each time I listen through Fantasy Ride I miss it in the tracklist.

Same thing with Radioactive. It's a superb, massive pop record. Wonderful vocals. I pray that she'll include it on EH.

She'll also announce a May tour tomorrow.

I am so excited. The Family Jewels = my second favorite debut album of all time.

loved everything which is related to 'Electra Heart' so far. I hope I can go to the tour.

If you're signed up to her mailing list or are going to one of her 3 shows this month then you'll be able to get your hands on the track "Homewrecker".

Not gonna lie, ridiculously excited for this album still!

by **HBIC** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 2:08 pm

Will she send Homewrecker to our emails?

Apparently on Monday!

But either way it'll end up online soo...

by **beredy** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 6:24 pm

Will there be any new tracks on Electra Heart once the album comes out?

Fear and Loathing
Radioactive
Starring Role
Primadonna
Homewrecker
+there were some leaks last summer, some of which will probably end on the album... :lol:

by **LotsOfLove** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 10:21 pm

I am excited how 'SEX YEAH' will sound on the album.
Its demo is stunning! I love it.

by **alxx** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 10:35 pm

I'm hoping Sex Yeah and those older demos don't make the album... I hope Primadonna performs well so we might get a deluxe edition.

by **luckyONE** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 10:39 pm

This became my most anticipated album of 2012 (so far) in the last few weeks. So damn excited!

Here some news :

Homewrecker :
It starts with a spoken word intro and then gets pretty upbeat, but it's not a 'banger'.

Prima Donna :
Question was - Does it sound like Dr. luke?
Not very to be honest. It doesn't sound like Katy Perry, let's put it that way.

Starring Role :
Question was - Are there any changes from the demo we know and the final version?
Yes, not massively, but it does have some lovely extra backing vocal bits and sounds 'fuller'

Lies & State of Dreaming :
Lies is the slowest one, pretty gloomy and has a kind of loping, wobbly beat. Dreaming is quite upbeat musically.

Prima Donna :
Single is a bit ‘American Life’ era Madge at first, but with big throbbing synths. Chorus slows it down.

All in all :
It’s all very “Marina”, but an evolution of the first album. Quite synthy and the lyrics are great.

There is a CD which contains 5 Songs , which was send to some listeners:)

^ here's a photo of the sampler! I need a copy in my life! NOW!

by **Vindrag** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 7:14 am

I would not mind if they didn't include Living Dead and some of those other leaked tracks on the album. Sex, Yeah however is such an amazing tune, and if they've completed it then I'd love to hear it on Electra Heart.

I need that single soon! Another summer with Marina then.. can't wait!

Is that the album cover btw? I really hope it is!

It's just the sampler but I guess there might be a chance of them
using the same image. I'm hoping for something more colourful like the Radioactive single cover personally!

by **HBIC** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 2:18 pm

Oh god the sampler sounds so good, I want it!!
