Marina and the Diamonds: 'I've bankrupted my label, we have no money'
By Andy Joannou
Marina and the Diamonds star Marina Diamandis has apparently claimed that she has bankrupted her label.
The 'Primadonna' singer said in a new interview that she has three more videos from Electra Heart to release.
Speaking to Canadian newspaper The Province about her second album - which debuted at number one in the UK - Diamandis said: "You may as well accept what your talent is and support it, rather than quashing it or dumbing it down to make yourself more likeable for radio.
"It's why I built Electra Heart and the elaborate concept behind it. It was my way of justifying taking that commercial path, when really I had been signed as a lo-fi sounding songwriter."
Diamandis - who is signed to 679 Recordings - went on to say that much of Electra Heart has taken on a DIY ethic, including her image, the clothing and the videos.
"I have three more video parts I will put out," she added. "I've bankrupted my label (apparently) so we have no money, but we're going to do it and finish this era the way I want to. Where there's a will, there's a way!"
