Marina's Electra Heart thing was initially meant to be a proper side project, she's confirmed

marina-and-the-diamonds-radioactiveMarina 'Marina' & The Diamonds has tweeted about how this whole 'Electra Heart' business was ori­gin­ally meant to be an actual side project to run alongside her actual popstar self.

AS WE SUGGESTED AT THE TIME!

'Taking to Twitter', the 'Power And Control' hitmaker mused: "Electra Heart was ori­gin­ally a side project, separate from Marina And The Diamonds."

"I called my manager in April 2011 and said "Hello. Can I pretend to be a totally different person?" He said "No. You cannot", she continued.

What did you do, Marina?

"I calmly put the phone down and screamed til eternity."

BLOODY HELL.
