Marina & The Diamonds isn't a fan of being compared to other singers by the way

  • July 31, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Lana Del Rey sound­a­like Marina & The Diamonds gets really annoyed when people compare her to other singers.

Chatting away to The Sun, Britain's very own Katy Perry said: "It really annoys me. I feel like it’s more an extreme case for me than other artists. When you’re unknown you get it as it helps people to under­stand what you sound like."

"I could draw up a list of about 30 artists who I appar­ently sound like," the Lady Gaga-esque singer continued, before promptly rattling off some names.

"From Lady Gaga, to Katy Perry to Lana Del Rey. I don’t know if it’s because I’m versatile or because pro­duc­tion affects how people judge music. I can’t wait for a time I can just be classed as myself."

That time will be 4:27pm on April 17, 2016. Let's all have a party on that day.
