MARINA gave ‘Cuntissimo’, ‘Cupid’s Girl’ and ‘Butterfly’ their live debuts at the first weekend of Coachella 2025 this month. The two slots at the California festival marked her first performances of the year.
Her other North American dates for this summer include the Governors Ball, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza.
‘Princess Of Power’ will see MARINA explore the themes of “power, sexuality and desirability”. ‘Cuntissimo’ is described as “a love song to independence” that “pays tribute to the women who unapologetically own all of the above”.
Speaking to Rolling Stone about her forthcoming sixth album last year, MARINA explained: “I feel like this next record’s going to be important, and I think the poetry book [Eat The World] is also reflective of that. I’m able to take a left turn and do something that was genuinely just for the joy of doing it. I’m in a separate part of my memory bank. That’s how it feels.”
She continued: “[…] Part of me is desperate to get things out, but also, part of me is just saying, ‘Enjoy this process’. Because this is my favourite thing: to build the record and build the world around it.”
MARINA then teased her new material last summer, which led to speculation that Lorde could be involved with the project in some capacity.
In a four-star review of ‘Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land’, NME described the collection as perhaps MARINA’s “most personal record” yet. It added: “[Her] melodies and vocal hooks still don’t sound like anybody else’s. Nothing in this world could change her, and for that we should all be damn grateful.”
Speaking to NME about the album, MARINA explained that she was no longer motivated by chart success, saying she “feel[s] like that ship has sailed”.
She went on: “I feel like, you know, I’ve had those moments, but as an artist, that’s not really what excites me anymore. It’s more like, ‘What am I interested in at the time? And what do I want to explore in my songs?’”
MARINA also told NME that dropping “And The Diamonds” from her stage name in 2018 was a pivotal moment in her career: “I thought: ‘Anything that’s going to make me feel more authentic and more relaxed is a positive thing’. And I knew that the name was part of that.”
