marina and the diamonds remixed.


originally i decided to try and avoid posting a lot of tunes that have been on the blogs in the last couple of weeks while i was idle but well, i just can't let this slip by. the wonderful marina and the diamonds (previously featured here) is back with a new ep named 'the crown jewels', out on neon gold.

the opening track 'i am not a robot' got the remix treatment by starsmith (you know him from our post on ellie goulding, he is her producer) as well as the aspirins for my children and while i definitely like both a lot, i have to say i am totally hooked on the aspirins now, probably because i have a severe weakness for late nineties trance chord stabs. and pizzicato strings. and robot voices. and dramatic strings. and marina. and lovely music!

marina and the diamonds - i am not a robot (the aspirins remix)
marina and the diamonds - i am not a robot (starsmith's 24 carat remix)

and it wouldn't be fair to let you go without any original marina and the diamonds material, so here is the amazing 'seventeen' from 'the crown jewels'. and once again, this is the kind of songwriting that makes everyone else look like amateurs.

marina and the diamonds - seventeen

you can buy 'the crown jewels' by marina and the diamonds from pure groove or directly from neon gold.

they're both blindin' remixes, and the original is superb but I definitely prefer the Starsmith mix. Suits the vocals alot more
