The album is produced by a cache of old school and A-List producers: Dr Luke (Katy Perry) and Liam Howe (Sneaker Pimps) but mostly (9 out of 12 songs) Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Kylie) and Rick Nowels (Madonna, Stevie Nicks, Lykke Li). A hook-packed stunner with the sonic ambition of a one-woman Depeche Mode, her onetime theatrical vocals now effortlessly soar between spectral, commanding and towering power-pop, finding her vocal identity in an album about a loss of it.Electra Heart is a thematic riot, a British Eccentric, 21st Century concept caper where the album title represents a series of female archetypes, not so much an alter-ego as a beautifully-constructed prism, through which Marina projects a series of meticulously-realised female characters as a foil for telling her story, the one about mismatched lovers.Electra Heart marks the sophomore release from Marina and the Diamonds, aiming to make a big impact in the US as Marina breaks the mold with her Americana-ode to pop music and cultural stereotypes. Review: A fantastic pop album - A bit of background to this album to begin with. 'Electra Heart' is a persona created by Marina (and described as the antithesis to everything Marina stands for) used to tell a story of self-corruption. As a result, this album feels darker than 'The Family Jewels' (Marina's first album). We begin with "Bubblegum Bitch": an in-your-face, self-centered song that serves as a brilliant opener to the album and gives a clear insight into the character of Electra Heart. Next up is "Primadonna", an instant classic that hits the heights of "Hollywood" from the first album. A 'celebration' of materialism, hedonism and the absolute desire to be famous. "Lies" feels like it probably should have been a single, it's that good. A sad reflection on a past partner who seemed to lack the courage to tell the truth or say how he really felt. "Homewrecker" follows and is a very catchy track where Electra Heart boasts about her ability to "break hearts for fun". As we approach the middle section of the album, "Starring Role" and "The State of Dreaming" are probably the least catchy songs, but are fascinating insights into the eponymous character. The pace picks up again slightly with "Power & Control", a memorable song about the constant power struggle in a relationship, however the tone only dips from this point. "Teen Idle" reflects mournfully on the wasted years of youth, obsessing over popularity. "Valley of the Dolls" appears to be about the book of the same name which I must confess I haven't read, but the dark tone is once again palpable. "Hypocrates" is another of Marina's clever portmanteaux combining the word 'hypocrite' and the ancient Greek physician 'Hippocrates'. Here, Electra Heart seems to be realising that she has failed to achieve the "American Dream" and attacks the hypocrisy of showbusiness. In my view, the best song of the album is saved for last. "Fear and Loathing" is a deeply moving song about anxiety and depression, aided by Marina's breathtaking vocals. By the end, you realise this is a rather brutal album as you witness the rise and fall of Electra Heart. Marina may have only released two albums to date but it's difficult to see how this won't always be considered her magnum opus. A truly brilliant display of songwriting, production and vocals. One of the best pop/alternative pop albums I've ever had the privilege to listen to. Review: A step up for Marina and a must-have pop album. - Marina and the Diamonds was one of those artists I took a little while to warm up to, but once I heard a few of her singles from her previous album, I fell in love with her voice and unique style. Electra Heart feels like a real step up from The Family Jewels. There's bigger production and a more electro vibe, but it doesn't lose any of that Marina edge. The opening song Bubblegum Bitch is one of my favourites from the whole album - upbeat and catchy. The rest of the album sometimes has a more ballad-y feel but there's some real stand out songs on there. Teen Idle and Fear and Loathing are particularly poignant and totally relatable. It's definitely worth buying the deluxe edition. Not only do you get the first single "Radioactive" but the brilliant "Sex Yeah" which is worth getting the deluxe alone. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008645YH6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 13,092 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 5,631 in Rock 5,772 in Pop | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,962) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 25312980 | | Label | Elektra / WEA | | Manufacturer | Elektra / WEA | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 12.4 x 14.2 x 1.19 cm; 89.87 g | ## Images ![Electra Heart - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71q8pClPKNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic pop album *by K***T on 12 April 2014* A bit of background to this album to begin with.

I was amazed by the fact that the CD was brand new despite being released long time ago and I could access the exclusive content: 2 remixes of Primadonna for download and watch acoustic version of Lies. Overall, I am in love with every single song on this CD, each one of them is electrifying and reminds me of particular moment in my life. Marina's blunt and intelligent lyrics match perfectly the rough, electronic sound. Also, the era of this album is absolutely fantastic, the box has extremely beautiful photoshoot and I am grateful for the inclusion of lyrics for every song in the booklet. Purchasing the deluxe version was well worth it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/699800187-electra-heart](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/699800187-electra-heart) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
