GOLD 004: MARINA & THE DIAMONDS

We’re a bit late on announcing this due to finals/moving/The Great Escape, but we’re over the moon to be announcing our next release with Marina & The Diamonds. The Crown Jewels EP is perhaps our most exciting release yet, three more tracks of spine-tingling beauty from the UK’s new queen of pop, and it kicks off a summer full of hot new releases from the Neon Gold ranks. Fan favorite “I Am Not A Robot” picks up where the dramatic grandeur of debut single “Obsessions” left off and it’s the lead track here, while a brand new version of “Seventeen” takes a step in a bigger, brighter pop direction for the young superstar-in-waiting and is available below for exclusive free download. Support comes in the form of sterling B-side “Simplify” on the 7″, while the digital package will feature an amazing remix from Ellie Goulding beatmaker Starsmith.

The whole package is out June 1st and US customers can preorder the record from the Neon Gold Shop, while international customers should hit up our exclusive UK retail partners Puregroove as per usual. In other Marina news, we’ve recently set up a blog for her and it’s heartwarming to see the little blogger she’s become. Using it as a platform to treat her fans to exclusive goodies and unleash her musings on everything from Lady GaGa’s to boobs and dentistry, it’s pretty much her favorite thing in the world and is infinitely more entertaining than any other musician blogs we’ve ever read. We were with her last night when she logged on to find 27 new comments on her latest post and she loudly screamed “I LOVE THIS SHIT!”. Adorable.
