Marina and the Diamonds is a band made up off a single Welsh artist, Marina Diamandis. She decided on the name Marina and the Diamonds because not only does her last name mean diamonds in Greek, but she considers all her fans to be the diamonds in the name (a little corny I know, but I really like her music). A funny story about her is that she was so driven to become a recording artist that she dressed up like a boy and auditioned to be in an all boy reggae band, held by Virgin Records. She didn’t get hired for the band, obviously, but did get a call back by the label a week later. This song was actually released in June 2009 on her EP album The Crown Jewels but was released in February of this year on her album The Family Jewels.
