Booze has helped Marina & The Diamonds embrace pop

  • January 4, 2012
  • Mikey

Marina & The Diamonds has admitted that alcohol helped her loosen up and embrace a pop sound on her delayed second album.

Speaking about pop music in general she said: "I didn't enjoy it and I didn't go out. I was so focussed on making it, I wasn't very good at social­ising. Then I dis­covered alcohol and it was like, oh my god, my life's changed."

Fuelled by the bur­geon­ing discovery of Jäger bombs and blue WKD, Marina promises her new sound is "much more elec­tronic".

She told andPOP.com: "I had a stick up my arse before about pop and not-pop but I've basically done everything that I didn't on the first album — the absolute opposite. I'm a total hypocrite".
