Marina Diamandis started out as an unusual popstar, with an operatic voice and a self taught piano style. Now she has made an album full of cliches that could have come from any X-Factor puppet. It was informed by a break-up, the Greek-Welsh singer says, but the desperate desire to be up there with Jessie J seems a more likely inspiration. She sings in a variety of personas, all paper-thin. Primadonna, an undemanding slab of electronic pop, finds her in a diva mode, while on Bubblegum Bitch she's a femme fatale with a weekness to sugary drinks:"Soda pop, soda pop, baby here I come staight to No.1." At least she's honest about her intentions.

The majority of negative reviews is like a paragraph long, with no details whatsoever. The only bash it, using as an example the most electronic pop songs on the album. How accurate.

And they call themselves professionals, working in big newspapers and magazines. Give me a long detailed review and explain to me how this fails to serve its purpose and i might take it into consideration. Not some poorly written **** about two songs of a 12 track album. That's a review a 7 year old would write.

 at how obvious it is the reviewer turned the album off after the first two tracks. I like how he mentions the second track before the first track too, as if to make it SEEM like he was talking about songs from throughout the album and not just giving his opinion on the first two songs in order.
