We need a balance.Īnother song that really struck me was “ Venus Fly Trap.” You sing, “Why be a wallflower when you can be a Venus flytrap.” You don’t strike me as a wallflower. We don’t need 90% of songs to be about partying in the club-though we do need those songs too. Teenagers and people in their 20s need to hear songs about what they’re actually going through. Now, anything goes! It’s so much more freeing and healthy. We have a really healthy landscape now compared to 10 years ago. And in a way, that’s still continued online, even with my own fan-base experience. But it was pretty much the opposite-just being completely disrespectful and making fun of her. It’s very clear that she was having a nervous breakdown, and the only response people should have had is compassion. We didn’t have the same understanding of mental health that we do now. I really hope that things are going to change for her she’s got such a magic quality.
Britney, unfortunately, has become this symbol for a very specific treatment of women. I’m happy to see how things are changing.
The way we have treated women growing up and the way that you and I grew up with the tabloids-that all contributes to how I’ve felt as a woman growing up in this music industry. I think about her a lot because I’m such a big fan. Did you connect with her in that kind of way? You reference Britney Spears in it, and there’s been a lot of talk around the music industry’s treatment of her. Let’s talk about “Purge the Poison,” one of my favorite tracks. That’s really the main theme of the whole record.ĭo you feel the music industry is still very much a man’s world? On a personal level, I really wanted to embody more of that and to work on that in myself.
There’s a huge connection what’s happening with our planet right now and the lack of femininity in the world. Masculinity is being goal driven, disciplined, forceful femininity is what your relationship with nature is, being nurturing and intuitive. We all have masculine and feminine traits. That’s dating back hundreds of years, and I think it’s really to the detriment of society because we’ve all had to try and be more masculine in order to succeed or to be accepted. It’s shameful to be feminine, whether you’re a man or woman. Marina: Femininity has been such a negative trait for so long. Vogue : The first song you wrote for the album was “Man’s World,” in which you sing, “I don’t wanna live in a man’s world anymore.” Would you say the album is deliberately feminine? That’s the most powerful thing about art.” “But pop music is such an amazing vehicle to discuss those issues, and it doesn’t matter if people agree with you or not-it’s a conversation starter. “People tend to shy away from these kinds of issues in songs,” Marina tells Vogue. She asks us to think about how we can better ourselves, and her lyrics hit you when you least expect it. Among other themes on the record, she alludes to global warming, misogyny, heartbreak, and racism.

As one fan put it on YouTube, it makes you want to “eco-friendly twerk.”Īncient Dreams is Marina’s fifth studio album, and it’s full of these sorts of juxtapositions she isn’t afraid to deliver an uptempo pop beat and explore the world’s dark, ugly truths at the same time. She sings, “Need to purge the poison from my system / Until human beings listen / Tell me, who do you think you are?” You’d think a pop song preaching environmental reform would be contrived, but Marina manages to make it an earworm-y dance anthem that packs a punch. In “ Purge the Poison,” a lead single on Marina’s new album, Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land, the Greek-Welsh singer assumes the role of Mother Nature-and she’s pissed off about how human beings have treated her.
